The Verizon Technology Innovation Center is designed to provide a central base for Verizon’s advanced technology initiatives. Upon completion, the three buildings on the Verizon Technology Campus at Waltham will house more than 300 of the country’s leading technologists and scientists and will contain office and lab space as well as an Executive Briefing Center where partners, consumer electronics companies, innovation collaborators, business executives and public officials can meet to discuss and collaborate on forward-looking technologies such as FiOS and next-generation 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless technology.

The site in Waltham is an important hub of wireless technology and user trials. Verizon Wireless has been building and testing its 4G LTE network in Boston since August 2009.
