Verizon launches exclusive Inseego 5G MiFi M1000 nationwide; turns on 5G Ultra Wideband network in St. Paul
July 18 2019 - 7:00AM
Today, Verizon debuted its fifth 5G-enabled device with the launch
of the Inseego (Nasdaq: INSG) MiFi® M1000. When connected to
Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network, the device, exclusively
available to Verizon customers, provides the large bandwidth and
fast download speeds required for applications like 4K/8K video
streaming, virtual reality and augmented reality (VR/AR), mobile
workforce, industrial IoT and more. Verizon also launched 5G Ultra
Wideband mobility service in St. Paul, Minnesota, joining Denver,
Chicago, Minneapolis and Providence1 as the fifth of more than 30
Verizon 5G mobility cities Verizon plans to launch in 2019.
“The Inseego MiFi is our first business-ready 5G device,
combining bandwidth and speed customers expect from 5G, with
enterprise-grade security businesses require,” said Tami Erwin,
executive vice president and group CEO for Verizon Business.
“Verizon continues to lead in 5G, adding to our coverage area with
St. Paul and launching the Inseego 5G hotspot, our fifth 5G enabled
device.”
Tapping into the power of Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network,
the 5G MiFi M1000 can allow first responders to rapidly set up
mobile command centers with blazing-fast data speeds supporting
powerful new public safety applications like object detection,
geospatial visualization and more. Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband
service and the Inseego MiFi 5G can also support telemedicine by
enabling real-time interaction between healthcare providers and
patients for remote consultations or physical therapy sessions
using VR headsets and gloves. Additionally, advancements in
real-time interactions for robotics and cloud-based artificial
intelligence can come to life. When tethered to a 5G MiFi M1000 on
Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network a robot can interact with
humans (or with other machines) with near real-time reaction
speed.
Coverage Area Details
In St. Paul, Verizon consumer and business
customers will see 5G Ultra Wideband service in parts of Downtown,
Lowertown and West Seventh neighborhoods around such landmarks as
the Minnesota Children’s Museum, the Minnesota Museum of American
Art, the Fitzgerald Theater, Cathedral Hill Park and the Alexander
Ramsey House.
When customers move outside Verizon’s 5G Ultra
Wideband coverage area, the 5G-enabled devices, including the
mobile hotspot, hand the signal to Verizon’s 4G LTE network, the
network more people rely on.
Connect at 5G speeds
Exclusively leveraging Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband
service, the 5G MiFi M1000 provides the speed and throughput needed
for a world of new data-hungry applications, from next-gen mobile
offices and industrial IoT to immersive entertainment.
“We’re thrilled to introduce Verizon’s first
commercial 5G mobile hotspot engineered specifically for 5G data
connectivity in partnership with Verizon,” said Dan Mondor,
Chairman and CEO of Inseego. “By delivering massive amounts of data
at breakthrough speeds, 5G will enable many transformative
applications that once seemed impossible. The new MiFi M1000 makes
those ‘use cases’ a reality by connecting data-hungry users to
incredible speeds, with enterprise-grade security.”
For businesses:

teams easily, with the ability to connect up to 15 devices
