Verizon Accelerates 5G Network Deployment
25 Junio 2020 - 09:00AM
Verizon continues to expand 5G Home Internet service across the
country. Beginning today, customers in parts of Houston will have
access to enhanced 5G Home service. The super fast Internet is
perfect for those who are working from home, homeschooling kids,
binging content or powering a smart home. Recently Verizon expanded
5G Home service to Detroit and enhanced service in Indianapolis and
Los Angeles. By the end of 2020, 5G Home Internet will be available
in 10 cities nationwide. 5G Home availability can be found here:

New Network trials will accelerate 5G Home and mobile
deployment to more places
Verizon recently partnered with Pivotal Commware, Inc., a
Verizon Ventures portfolio company, to conduct trials in Dearborn,
Michigan that improve 5G coverage and performance for residents and
visitors by strategically placing intelligent repeaters to enhance
and boost Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wide Band signal.
“Compared to lower spectrum bands, 5G over mmWave offers far
more speed and throughput, is more energy efficient, experiences
less signal interference over the air, and has a much greater
capacity for expansive scalability,” said Kevin Smith, Vice
President of Network Planning for Verizon. “As we’ve known since
our very early trials, high band spectrum provides more limited
coverage from macro cells. Introducing repeaters like the ones we
are trialing from Pivotal will help us expand the footprint of our
new 5G Ultra Wide Band network and provide another tool in the
toolbox for robust network design.”
A network repeater takes signals from nearby cell sites,
amplifies the signals from those sites and retransmits them to
previously underserved areas. Pivotal’s solution is an innovative
way to efficiently enhance the design of the network and improve
service in hard to reach areas.
The trials in Dearborn focus on providing coverage to larger,
multi-unit dwellings such as apartments or dormitories with
multiple buildings and floors where repeaters are particularly
helpful. By installing repeaters between the cell site and the
location, the 5G signal can be cost-effectively retransmitted to
cover additional areas. Repeaters are small, consume less power
than a small cell or macro site and do not require a fiber
connection. This makes them a lower cost, quicker path to
supplementing traditional cell sites.
“The enhancement of our 5G Home service and Pivotal’s repeater
technology are the latest examples of accelerating our 5G network
deployment to more quickly deliver the experience our customers are
hungry for,” said Smith.
