Fastest 5G Network in the World Just Launched in San Francisco
14 Octobre 2020 - 6:55PM
Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband service is live in parts of San
Francisco. This marks a huge leap forward in this new era of
technology-led disruption and innovation. In addition, Verizon’s 5G
Ultra Wideband1 service, built on millimeter wave spectrum, is
seeing doubled download speeds - reaching up to four Gbps in some
locations2 - thanks to carrier aggregation. Verizon is also
launching 5G Nationwide service for over 200 million people across
more than 1800 cities around the country, including residents of
California. To see where Verizon 5G service is available in
California, visit our coverage maps page.
"As the City of San Francisco begins down a long road to
recovery from an unprecedented public health and economic crisis,
we're proud to see our member, Verizon, step up to lead the
development and deployment of 5G broadband across the City and
beyond,” said Jennifer Stojkovic, sf.citi Executive Director.
“Bridging the digital divide and providing access to economic
opportunity for all San Franciscans has long remained a goal for
the City and is now more important than ever in our recovery
efforts. Today, Verizon has brought us that much closer to the
vision of a connected City for all.”
“With 5G coming to San Francisco, the internet of things will
change our city's museums with faster connectivity to tell expanded
narratives,” said Monetta White, Executive Director, Museum of
African Diaspora. “We look forward to leveraging 5G technologies to
reach across the global African Diaspora, empowering our audience
to experience our museum in new ways while allowing us to deliver
innovative and impactful experiences.”
“Verizon has been a strong partner with Boys & Girls Clubs
of San Francisco. Their generous partnership has directly supported
our STEM education programs as well as exposes our middle and high
school youth to careers in the ever-expanding and innovative
technology sector,” said Rob Connolly, President, Boys & Girls
Clubs of San Francisco. “When San Francisco’s shelter-in-place
order was put into effect, Verizon was one of the very first
corporate partners to reach out with critical support. We are proud
to partner with Verizon, a company that continues to think
creatively about how they can utilize their technology and tools to
better serve the San Francisco community.”
Verizon customers in San Francisco should expect to see 5G Ultra
Wideband service around the following areas: Mission Bay, Yerba
Buena Gardens, Marina Green Park, outside Oracle Park, Palace of
Fine Arts, and Huntington Park (Nob Hill area). To see the complete
5G Ultra Wideband coverage area in the city go to:

Verizon continues to provide unprecedented performance with its
5G Ultra Wideband service, the fastest 5G in the world3 that was
built from the ground up for industrial and commercial use
cases.
Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband boasts speeds multiple times faster
than 4G. As the technology matures, it is expected to be able to
handle data volumes 100 times larger than today’s 4G service, and
provide ultra-low latencies, which is the time it takes for a
signal to make a round trip from point A to point B. Customers in
San Francisco can now experience ultra-fast wireless speeds and
take advantage of new immersive customer experiences never before
available wirelessly.
“We have been out front leading the 5G revolution and driving
the technology that will create transformational experiences for
customers,” said Kyle Malady, Chief Technology Officer at Verizon.
“Our goal with this game-changing technology is to reshape the
world around us. With today’s launches, we are another step farther
along on that journey.”
5G nationwide coverage on Verizon
Today, Verizon also announced its launch of 5G Nationwide to
customers in California. Verizon’s 5G Nationwide runs on lower
spectrum bands than 5G Ultra Wideband, using an advanced technology
called Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS). Dynamic Spectrum Sharing
allows 5G service to run simultaneously with 4G LTE on the same
spectrum band. With DSS, when customers move outside Verizon’s 5G
Ultra Wideband coverage area, their 5G-enabled devices will remain
on 5G technology using lower bands of spectrum.
This new technology allows Verizon to use its full portfolio of
current spectrum resources to serve 4G and 5G customers, maximizing
their experience on the Verizon network. Customers can use
Verizon’s network in a variety of ways - from virtual learning to
real-time gaming - that requires the ability to allocate spectrum
resources in real-time.
