Today, Verizon launched 5G Ultra Wideband service in four
additional U.S. cities. Customers in parts of Washington DC,
Atlanta, Detroit, and Indianapolis will now be able to access
Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network, joining Chicago, Denver,
Minneapolis, Providence and St. Paul as Verizon’s first 5G mobility
cities.
Business customers and consumers can access the Verizon 5G Ultra
Wideband network with one of five 5G-enabled devices – the LG
V50 ThinQ 5G™, the moto z3 and z4 combined with
the 5G moto mod, the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G or the
Inseego MiFi® M1000 – the most 5G devices available on any 5G
network.
“Verizon continues its steady expansion of 5G Ultra Wideband
service and is excited to bring the 5G future to Atlanta, Detroit,
Indianapolis and Washington, DC,” said Kyle Malady, Verizon’s chief
technology officer. “Customers in these cities are at the forefront
of game-changing technology, with access to download speeds and
bandwidth that will power the future of consumer, business and
government mobile applications. Similarly, cities that embrace new
technology, like 5G Ultra Wideband, have a leg up in competition to
attract businesses and create jobs.”
Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband service will be available this
year in more than 30 cities including: Boston, Charlotte,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas, Des Moines, Houston,
Kansas City, Little Rock, Memphis, Phoenix, San Diego, and Salt
Lake City. Additional 5G Ultra Wideband cities will be announced
later this year.
Verizon continues to lead the world in 5G deployment. It was the
first in the world to offer commercial 5G service, with the launch
of 5G Home in October 2018, and the first company in the world to
offer customers a commercially-available 5G network and a
commercially-available 5G-enabled smartphone when it launched 5G
Ultra Wideband service in Chicago and Minneapolis along with the
moto z3 and the 5G moto mod in April 2019.
5G in Public Spaces
The bandwidth and speed benefit of Verizon’s 5G
Ultra Wideband service is available today in dense, urban areas
where people tend to congregate – public parks, monuments, outside
museums, on college campuses and in stadiums. The areas where
customers can experience the power of Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband
service include parts of Millennium Park in Chicago and The
National Mall in Washington, DC, inside US Bank Stadium in
Minneapolis, and on the campus of Brown University in Providence.
Verizon 5G service lets residents, businesses, government agencies
and visitors to these spaces access the advantages of 5G Ultra
Wideband and maximize their experience in the digital
world.
