Verizon will launch a 5G mobility service based on 3GPP’s 5G New Radio standard in Chicago and Minneapolis on April 11, a major milestone in a process that started more than two years ago, Vice President of Network Engineering Mike Haberman told RCR Wireless News.
In October Verizon turned up its fixed wireless 5G Home service, based on the company’s Verizon Technical Forum standard, in four markets–Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles and Sacramento, using its 28 GHz millimeter wave spectrum. This offering averages around 300 Mbps with peak speeds in the 1 Gbps range.
