Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband now reaches 200 million people
March 07 2023 - 11:30AM
Verizon’s ultra-fast, reliable 5G Ultra Wideband service is now
available to more than 200 million people, or roughly two out of
every three Americans. Customers across the continental United
States can experience the power and performance of Verizon's 5G
Ultra Wideband with fast download speeds and the capacity to
support data-heavy actions. Customers using 5G Ultra Wideband
across the nation can now do everything from downloading huge
documents and seamlessly streaming movies in HD audio and video, to
playing console quality games and conducting video chats and video
conferencing calls while on the move with clearer sound and video.
“Passing this new milestone provides more customers in more
places with Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband mobile capabilities and
fixed broadband,” said Joe Russo, EVP and President, Global
Networks and Technology for Verizon. “For years we have been
building the most reliable multi-purpose 5G network. In addition to
mobility service, this expansion allows us to be aggressive
insurgents in home and business broadband internet markets across
the nation, offering customers choice and superior services.”
More network equals more than just mobility
Verizon’s multi-purpose network is grounded on
strong spectrum position, extensive fiber ownership, and the
incorporation of advanced technologies deployed from the core to
the edge of Verizon’s award-winning network. This network-building
formula enables a reliable, robust, secure, and high performing
network for innovation that can accommodate a variety of use cases
including mobility, private 5G solutions, and fixed wireless access
broadband for consumers and small businesses.
Verizon Home Internet is reliable and fast enough to power
the connected devices in the home: smart TVs, tablets, phones,
gaming consoles and more. With 5G service now in more communities
with no required wires running to the home, customers have a choice
in their home broadband service provider, giving residential
customers the broadband speeds they need with the reliability from
Verizon they have come to expect.
Whether as primary connectivity or a backup for wireline
service, Verizon’s wireless business internet solutions deliver
connectivity right out of the box, offering a reliable and
affordable plug-and-play internet connectivity. That connectivity
is fast enough for day-to-day business needs in remote areas,
offers flexibility for business operations, helps keep
work-from-home employees productive with dedicated, secure internet
without worrying about sharing bandwidth, and can serve as a backup
connection to minimize potential impact if an internet disruption
pops up.
Also powered by Verizon’s ever-expanding 5G Ultra Wideband
service, a Verizon Wireless Private Network can run a company’s
line-of-business operations and keep employees connected to the
network from many places, while keeping IT firmly in control of
management. Companies can add devices to an internal network,
coordinate with a company’s IP addressing, and be managed by a
company’s own support personnel. This empowers businesses to make
mobile solutions part of their infrastructure and extend their core
computing network farther, quickly and easily.
Additionally, through Verizon Frontline, the advanced network
and technology developed over three decades of partnership with
first responders to meet their unique and evolving needs, public
safety agencies will benefit from Verizon’s continued expansion of
5G Ultra Wideband service.
The best is yet to come
Accelerated access to best-in-class spectrum holdings, a massive
fiber footprint with evolved data capacity, and the use of the most
advanced technologies available in the industry has allowed Verizon
to offer a variety of services from a single, secure, robust and
programmable multi-purpose network platform. Verizon engineers are
not slowing down.
Throughout this year, Verizon’s network team will:
- continue to expand coverage, introducing 5G Ultra Wideband
service into more rural and suburban areas,
- continue to improve performance by deploying with even greater
amounts of spectrum as that comes available,
- continue to build in new technologies that will allow customers
to take advantage of customized experiences, and
- continue to layer on additional capacity and higher performance
by supplementing its nationwide network with 5G service on mmWave
spectrum where super robust network resources are needed
