After launching 5G in Los Angeles yesterday, Verizon continued their speedy deployment this month by launching service today in Des Moines. Coverage maps are not available yet, but service is expected to be available in parts of downtown, East Village and West Des Moines and around popular landmarks like the Iowa State Capitol, Hyvee Hall, Wells Fargo Arena, Pappajohn Sculpture Park, Principal Park, Jordan Creek Town Center and MercyOne West Des Moines.
Des Moines is the 20th city in which Verizon has launched their service this year. Nicki Palmer, Verizon’s senior vice president of technology and product development, said recently that the carrier is on schedule to reach their goal of launching service in a total of 30 cities by the end of the year. They have not announced all 10 of the cities that will round up that group of 30, but they have confirmed that Charlotte, Cleveland, Columbus, Little Rock, Memphis and Salt Lake City are on the list.
