Verizon continues to upgrade Colorado Springs' best network
28 Mars 2023 - 3:00PM
Verizon has recently made major upgrades to the network serving
customers in Colorado Springs, CO. These upgrades are part of a
multi-year redesign of its network architecture to stay ahead of
exponential data usage increases, upgrade the technology in the
network, and to pave the way for personalized customer experiences.
Network upgrades in Colorado Springs include deploying new cell
sites to extend coverage and capacity in local communities. They
also include adding more capacity on fiber optic cables to move
more data through the network and adding bandwidth to the cellular
network to accommodate new services like wireless internet service
for homes and businesses. Specifics on the upgrades include:
- Nearly half (47%) of people in
Colorado Springs are covered with 5G Ultra Wideband service. That
coverage has been expanded recently with the addition of 5G Ultra
Wideband service as far north as Monument and as far south as
Fountain.
- In addition to adding more 5G service
using C-band spectrum, Verizon is also deploying 5G service using
Millimeter Wave (mmWave), its premium, high-band spectrum which
allows for extremely fast speeds and massive capacity.
Verizon has 5G Ultra Wideband service using mmWave in the downtown,
Briargate North, New Point Center, and Knob Hill areas.
- Colorado Springs’ exceptional 5G
coverage uses a combination of mmWave spectrum and Verizon’s
recently acquired C-band spectrum. Throughout Colorado
Springs, Verizon engineers are using 100 MHz of C-band spectrum to
deliver 5G service to customers. By the end of the year, customers
in Colorado Springs will be able to take advantage of even more
spectrum as it becomes available for 5G Ultra Wideband. That
additional bandwidth will turbo charge the service, offering
significantly higher speeds, much greater capacity to accommodate
more customers and more robust services.
- Lastly, the addition of 5G service and
the many additional wireless solutions allow far more data to
travel on the wireless network in Colorado Springs. That
exponential increase in data carried into and out of the cell sites
serving the community requires upgraded fiber optic cable
links. Fiber optic cables are used to move data between cell
sites and connect those sites to the rest of the network.
Verizon has increased the capacity on the fiber connections in many
cell sites in the Colorado Springs area so they can carry 10 times
the amount of data.
“Today’s world calls for faster speeds, ultra secure connections
and improved coverage in more places. We’re dedicated to bringing
the best and latest technologies to local communities, and to
keeping our customers connected through 5G,” said Phillip French,
Vice President of Engineering and Operations for Verizon.
With these and other technology advancements on Verizon’s
network, customers are able to use more data in more ways. This
multi-service network powers
- Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that do very little networking
and stay in place,
- smartphones with infinite opportunities to use data in a highly
mobile environment,
- home and business internet which provides connectivity via the
wireless network for homes, offices and retail environments,
and
- complex solutions like Augmented Reality or enterprise
real-time video and data analysis that require massive computing
capabilities.
As 5G technology advances and is even more widely adopted by
consumers the variety of solutions that will use Verizon’s network
will continue to evolve as well.
