Today, Verizon announced a huge leap forward in this new era of
technology-led disruption and innovation by expanding coverage of
the 5G service built to be the 21st century infrastructure that
will shape the future.
Verizon is driving 5G forward by deploying blazing-fast 5G Ultra
Wideband1 service, built on mmWave spectrum, in 19 additional US
cities, 19 stadiums and six airports, and doubling download speeds
on the fastest 5G service in the world2 — reaching 4 Gbps peak
speeds in some locations3. Verizon is also turning on 5G Nationwide
service for more than 200 million people nationwide and developing
exciting new solutions with partners who seek the same level of
performance and operational excellence including the National
Football League (NFL), The New York Times, and Riot Games. Verizon
will be offering the first iPhone with 5G, and introducing powerful
new capabilities to customers with Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband and
Nationwide networks.
“We were first in the world to 5G and we are continuing to drive
5G forward. Our job, our passion, is to push the boundaries of
what’s possible, to bring the ecosystem together and to create
experiences consumers and enterprises never even knew they needed
or wanted,” said Hans Vestberg, Verizon CEO. “From the start, our
focus has been on building a transformational 5G network that will
drastically reshape society. Today’s announcement brings us one
step closer to that future.”
“We couldn’t be more proud to share this news alongside Apple on
this historic day, giving iPhone customers access to speeds and
experiences only made possible through 5G. 5G just got real,” he
added.
Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband
available in more places
Verizon continues to lead the industry with its 5G Ultra
Wideband service - the fastest 5G in the world - that was built
from the ground up for industrial and commercial use cases. It’s
important to remember that not all services are created equal.
Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband boasts throughputs multiple times
faster than 4G and, as the technology matures, it is expected to
handle data volumes 100 times larger than today’s capabilities, and
ultra-low latencies, which is the time it takes for a signal to
make a round trip from point A to point B. Verizon’s use of mmWave
spectrum, the backbone of 5G Ultra Wideband, is essential to these
revolutionary capabilities. 5G Ultra Wideband is now available in
19 new cities, 19 new stadiums and arenas, and six new
airports.
New 5G Ultra Wideband cities:
Customers in 55 cities can now experience ultra-fast wireless
speeds, allowing them to download and stream movies and TV shows in
seconds, videoconference and collaborate remotely in near real
time, and take advantage of new immersive customer experiences
never before available wirelessly. By the end of 2020, Verizon
plans to launch 5G Ultra Wideband in more than 60 cities. The
newest 5G Ultra Wideband cities with access to the fastest 5G in
the world include:
- Arlington, TX
- Ann Arbor, MI
- Anaheim, CA
- Baltimore, MD
- Fort Wayne, IN
- Hartford, CT
- Jersey City, NJ
- Las Vegas, NV
- Louisville, KY
- Milwaukee, WI
- Oklahoma City, OK
- Philadelphia, PA
- Raleigh, NC
- Richmond, VA
- San Francisco, CA
- Sarasota, FL
- St. Louis, MO
- Syracuse, NY
- Tucson, AZ

Stadiums and arenas:
Today, Verizon also added 19 new locations to the growing list
of 43 stadiums and arenas with Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network.
When fans are in these locations, they can enjoy super-fast
wireless service, immersive experiences and additional in-stadium
enhancements. And, until those stadiums are filled to capacity with
cheering fans again, 5G Ultra Wideband has the potential to bring
in-stadium experiences to fans at home.
The list of new stadiums and arenas with access to Verizon’s 5G
Ultra Wideband network include Citi Field, FedExForum, the Golden 1
Center, Lambeau Field, Progressive Field, Mercedes-Benz Superdome,
Red Bull Arena, SoFi Stadium, and State Farm Stadium. For more
locations check out: https://www.verizon.com/coverage-map/.
Airports:
Travelers flying through Chicago O’Hare International Airport,
Des Moines International Airport, John Glenn Columbus International
Airport, Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport, Minneapolis-St
Paul International Airport, Salt Lake City International Airport,
and San Antonio International Airport can have access to Verizon’s
5G Ultra Wideband network in parts of the airports.
Driving innovation and advancements in 5G
Ultra Wideband technology
In addition to expanding its 5G Ultra Wideband footprint,
Verizon continues to innovate and introduce advanced technologies
on its 5G network that will help customers reach never-before-seen
mobile capabilities and create new use cases across the consumer
and business landscape.
Here’s how it’s done: Using carrier aggregation, a technology
that combines multiple channels of spectrum to provide greater
efficiency for data sessions transmitting over the wireless
network, Verizon combined eight separate channels of mmWave
spectrum to achieve record-setting multi-gigabit speeds in parts of
some cities. Using this technology, customers will see double the
download speeds they have historically experienced on 5G Ultra
Wideband, with peak speeds up to 4Gbps possible in some
locations.
Customers will also see a boost in speeds with two carrier
aggregation now available for uploads. Carrier aggregation allows
customers on 5G Ultra Wideband to achieve unprecedented mobile
speeds and brings the massive bandwidth available with mmWave
spectrum to life.
5G Nationwide coverage on Verizon
Today, Verizon also announced its launch of 5G Nationwide
service, covering more than 200 million customers. 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 both 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.
New 5G experiences on Verizon
Customers using new iPhone models on Verizon’s 5G network will
have access to experiences and applications from the National
Football League (NFL), The New York Times, Riot Games and others,
which will take advantage of the unprecedented speed, massive
capacity and ultra low lag time Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband
offers.

“Delivering the 5G network that is the foundational technology
that will revolutionize nearly all aspects of our lives stems from
tried and true world-class engineering, a solid technical
foundation, and scaled deployment of emerging technologies,” said
Kyle Malady, Chief Technology Officer at Verizon. “Just as we did
with 4G, we are not only speeding deployment, but also advancing 5G
technology itself. We will continue to push the limits of this
technology to unleash the full potential of 5G.”
