“The depth of our spectrum portfolio, now the strongest in
the industry, allows us to quickly expand access to a world-class 5G experience
for our mobile and fixed broadband customers, providing high speeds, low
latencies and enormous capacity,” said Adam Koeppe, Senior Vice President of
Technology Planning at Verizon. “These lab trials demonstrate the exceptional
network performance our customers will receive as we are able to integrate our
newly acquired C-band spectrum with mmWave spectrum.”
The lab work, which focused on optimizing the customer
experience using C-band spectrum in combination with mmWave spectrum, comes
after a recent announcement of new agreements with Verizon’s tower partners,
Crown and SBA Communications, which provide for process improvements including
standardizing and reducing forms and minimizing legal reviews. Additionally,
Verizon has already started installation of C-band equipment from Ericsson and
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd to speed deployment of its 5G Ultra Wideband and
fixed wireless broadband service. These combined efforts, along with ongoing
lab trials to optimize 5G technology on C-band spectrum will allow Verizon to
offer expanded mobility and broadband services to millions more consumers and
businesses as soon as the spectrum is cleared.
In the first quarter of 2022, Verizon expects to put into
service the new 5G C-band spectrum in the initial 46 markets and to provide 5G
Ultra Wideband service to 100 million people. Over 2022 and 2023, coverage is
expected to increase to more than 175 million people and by 2024 and beyond,
when the remaining C-band spectrum is cleared, more than 250 million people are
expected to have access to Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband service on C-band
spectrum.
