Verizon continues to upgrade Riverside's best network
30 Mars 2023 - 3:00PM
Verizon has recently made major upgrades to the network serving
customers in Riverside, CA. 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 Riverside 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:
- Verizon engineers have been aggressively deploying 5G Ultra
Wideband in the areas of Riverside and San Bernardino. That
coverage has been expanded recently with the addition of new macro
cell sites and small cell sites which provide service using both
Verizon’s C-band coverage layer spectrum and Millimeter Wave
(mmWave) spectrum, its premium, high-band spectrum which allows for
extremely fast speeds and massive capacity. Service covers
communities including 60 Freeway in the Badlands area, I-15 through
the Cajon Pass, and the city of Fontana. Additionally, 5G service
is available at the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa, Market Street
through downtown Riverside, providing service to Riverside City
Hall, Superior Court of California, County of Riverside - Hall of
Justice, Riverside County Office of Education, Riverside Community
Hospital, and Riverside City College.
- Riverside’s exceptional 5G coverage uses a combination of
mmWave spectrum and Verizon’s recently acquired C-band spectrum.
Until this year in Riverside, Verizon has been restricted to using
60 MHz of the spectrum they secured, but by the end of this year,
customers in Riverside will be able to take advantage of 100 MHz of
C-band, almost doubling the spectrum available for 5G Ultra
Wideband. That additional spectrum 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 Riverside. 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 Riverside 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.
