5G Ultra Wideband Mobility
Available in parts of 71 cities at the end of this week, Verizon’s blazing-fast 5G Ultra Wideband service provides speed and capacity capabilities that allow customers to engage in activities like downloading and streaming movies and TV shows in seconds, collaborating with colleagues remotely in near real time, and taking advantage of new immersive customer experiences. Enterprise customers in these markets will have access to the technology that can dramatically accelerate their digital transformation, providing opportunities to revolutionize how they interact with their customers, track inventory, manage operations and engage with their workforce. Verizon continues to aggressively build out their 5G Ultra Wideband network, bringing 5G Ultra Wideband to more customers in more new places and expanding coverage in current 5G Ultra Wideband markets.
Continued 5G Expansion
These new cities are part of Verizon’s promise to deliver over 14,000 new cell sites this year alone, further underlining its commitment to expanding its 5G network on mmWave spectrum while preparing for the launch of 5G service on its recently acquired C-band spectrum, which will cover an additional 100 million mobility customers in the first quarter of 2022. Meanwhile, Verizon’s other fixed wireless access products will reach 15 million homes by the end of 2021.
Furthering its expansion efforts, Verizon also recently announced it is continuing to increase 5G Ultra Wideband coverage through the use of signal repeaters, leading to more 5G Ultra Wideband coverage for 5G mobility and 5G Home Internet customers.
“We have a very aggressive network build program, fueled by continued expansion of 5G Ultra Wideband using our entire portfolio of spectrum, the strongest in the industry” said Ronan Dunne, CEO, Verizon Consumer Group. “Our spectrum position combined with our leading network means Verizon is well positioned to deliver the best possible 5G experience to customers — that’s 5G built right.”
