Verizon has been expanding its 5G Home broadband offering across the U.S., with the service available in parts of 52 cities as of early August. According to Verizon Consumer Group’s Chief Revenue Officer Frank Boulben, the service, which runs on Verizon’s millimeter (mmWave) network — branded as Ultra Wideband — is part of the carrier’s larger goal of becoming a full connectivity provider and to address common consumer pain points.
“We want to be a full connectivity provider for households and families,” Boulben told RCR Wireless News. “That means offering mobility services, as well as home broadband, whether it’s with Verizon Fios, 5G Home or 4G LTE internet. We have multiple brands covering the entire market.”
