Will Verizon Meet Their Goal of 175 Million People Covered by Year’s End?

Verizon Wireless has just announced that their ultra fast, ultra reliable 5G Ultra Wideband service is now covering more than 175 million people. This is a goal they accomplished 1 month early. They also will be offering nationwide 5G Ultra Wideband in Q1 of 2023. The C-Band rollout is still being drawn out, but is actually ahead of schedule by about 13 months. 

“Our customers don’t stand still and neither does our network. Today, more than one out of every two Americans now have access to 5G Ultra Wideband. We know our customers rely on our service every day and we work for them – continuously enhancing, expanding and improving our wireless network,” said Hans Vestberg, Chairman and CEO of Verizon. “And as proud as I am to have crossed this milestone, I am equally proud of the way we are building our network – with the most advanced technologies, industry leading security, a robust fiber underpinning and a robust and varied spectrum portfolio. We are building this right. We are building this as a platform for innovation for years to come.”

Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband has been compared to wired broadband for its performance. Download speeds, for example, have shown up to one gigabit per second. This allows customers to do anything from “downloading huge documents and seamlessly streaming movies in HD audio and video, to playing console quality games and conducting video chats, video conferencing and FaceTime calls with clear sound and video.”

But Wait, There’s More!

Over the coming months, the company plans on continuing its build out of the 5G Ultra Wideband network using C-band spectrum. This will take place more so in rural and suburban areas. Verizon will also enhance capacity by activating 100 MHz of C-Band spectrum in many markets, which is a big increase from the 60 MHz of spectrum available when deployment first began. Eventually, all of its licensed spectrum will be made available, up to 200 MHz, which will provide exceptional speed and capacity.

Engineers have not forgotten about the mmWave spectrum. This provides exponential capacity in areas with significantly dense populations such as venues, stadiums, arenas, airports, major metro areas, office complexes and more. Private network deployments will also benefit from mmWave. Enterprise customers would opt for this if they need the fastest, most robust 5G service available for their applications.

Providing increased security, reliability and customized experiences for customers is very important to Verizon.  Advancements will be taking place which include:

  • Fully deploying the 5G core with Verizon’s proprietary cloud platform built specifically for telco workloads 
  • Advancing the fiber network to handle exponential increases in data traffic 
  • Continuing massive virtualization of the network to add programmability and flexibility into the network 
  • Using artificial intelligence to drive reliability and performance 
  • Continuing to develop edge computing capabilities to drive down latency
  • Continuing to advance antenna configurations to drive speed and efficiency

What is the Aviation Industry Saying About 5G?

It’s been months since Verizon and AT&T got the approval to roll out their 5G C-Band networks to customers. This was done despite some concerns from airplane pilots and the FAA. Now the topic of whether or not 5G frequencies can cause interference with aircraft tools is back in the spotlight. 

The FAA monitored service for some time before coming to an agreement with the cellular carriers. In the initial rollout, they agreed that power levels would be limited and exclusion zones created around 50 key airports. 

Thankfully, no “catastrophic disruptions” have occurred in the time C-Band service has been in play. Still, several international airlines like Air India suspended their flights to major U.S. airports for the first 48 hours it was available. 

It’s probable that the agreed-upon exclusion zones helped mitigate some problems, but the proposed zones didn’t stop aviation officials from voicing concerns and pushing for more delays. The C-band rollout may have been proven to be a non-event, however this doesn’t mean there are not legitimate concerns. 

The FCC has been testing back and forth since 2020. This is around the time they had first proposed auctioning off the new spectrum. Their tests allegedly showed that the new C-band spectrum, which operates in the 3.7–3.98GHz range, was far enough away from the 4.2–4.4GHz frequencies used by radar altimeters. FCC’s experts said this 0.22GHz (220MHz) gap would be more than enough to avoid interference.

The FAA disagreed with these findings and referenced a 2020 research paper by the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA). The RTCA is an independent technology standards group representing the air transportation industry. The study showed that 5G telecommunications in the C-band spectrum could cause “harmful interference” to radar altimeters due to spurious emissions and “bandwidth pollution.”

The study conceded that the frequencies were far enough apart from each other that problems shouldn’t occur. However, the issue was that increased 5G usage was likely to result in a strong enough concentration of signals that they could “bleed through” into neighboring frequency bands.

Such interference could cause the radar altimeters in most commercial aircraft to show incorrect readings. This is why the FAA’s list of 5G-excluded airports includes many smaller regional fields that are prone to heavy fog and extended periods of low visibility.

According to a recent report by IEEE Spectrum, complaints about altimeter failures rose significantly following the January 19 deployment of the new C-band spectrum. A few instances occurred during multiple flights over Tennessee. Pilots experienced altimeter errors that made it impossible to maintain assigned altitude.” Another pilot reported having lost its autopilot completely and another who received errors upon landing at an airport. 

Specifically, 93 reports related to radar altimeter problems were filed between January and May this year. “January alone saw almost twice as many complaints of malfunctioning altimeters as the previous five years combined,” an analysis from IEEE Spectrum noted. 

The FAA told IEEE Spectrum that it has received around 550 submissions since January, although it’s only investigated about half of them so far. The agency couldn’t rule out 5G interference in about 80 reported incidents. However, it was quick to add that none of those incidents that could have been caused by 5G had any impact on systems related to aircraft safety. Regardless, the increasing number of reports has pilots and others within the aviation community spooked. 

Fortunately, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), which advises the President on telecommunications and information policy issues, has been working with the Defense Department, mobile carriers, and the aviation industry to continue studying the impact of the new 5G frequencies.

The NTIA reports that there was a “low level of unwanted 5G emissions” in the frequencies used by so-called radar altimeters. To be clear, the report isn’t saying that aircraft instruments are immune from 5G interference. Instead, it confirms that the precautions exercised by the aviation industry and the mobile network operators have been helping.

That being said, we won’t be seeing Verizon’s Ultra Wideband or AT&T’s 5G Plus network at major airports anytime soon. Since these higher-tier 5G services mostly use the C-band spectrum, the carriers have to wait until the FAA has given them approval to proceed. That should only happen once all of the potentially impacted radar altimeters have been patched or replaced.

The FAA notes that radio-altimeter manufacturers have been working swiftly to develop and test filters and installation kits for aircrafts. The work will mostly be completed by next July.

When Will There Be More 5G Coverage?

More announcements of 5G expansions are coming in from carriers this week. We already heard about Verizon and their C-Band and now news is coming from AT&T about their mid-band spectrum. T-Mobile is even adding more coverage in California for its 5G Home Internet services.  

AT&T 5G is now covering 70 million people. In January they said they planned to cover 200 million people with its various mid-band spectrum positions by the end of 2023.

For T-Mobile, they’re covering over six million homes throughout the state of California with their recent expansion. The reason for this concentration in California is because so many homes there are still without access to reliable broadband service. 

“Broadband customers are stuck – millions of families across the country still have little to no choice when it comes to home internet. For decades, customers have been stuck with terrible customer service, price hikes and surprise fees from their internet providers,” said Mike Katz, Chief Marketing Officer at T-Mobile. “Today, we’re taking another step to change that, increasing access to T-Mobile Home Internet throughout California. With the Un-carrier, residents across the Golden State can get reliable, affordable home broadband without all the traditional ISP BS. That’s why more than a million customers nationwide have already switched to T-Mobile Home Internet.”

T-Mobile says that more than 40 million households are eligible for 5G Home Internet. Availability is based on network capacity, which is increasing all the time. Check if T-Mobile Home Internet is available for your home at https://www.t-mobile.com/isp

AT&T said it is six months ahead of schedule on mid-band 5G deployment. Now they expect to cover nearly 100 million people by the end of the year with this spectrum. 

On the broadband front, AT&T Fiber added 316,000 subscribers. The carrier added 289,000 subscribers last quarter and touts that this is the 10th straight quarter adding more than 200,000 net subscribers. As with its efforts on 5G, the carrier has been working to improve its fiber network and has begun upgrading its network to offer multigigabit connections. 

All carriers seem hopeful that their expansions will hang on to existing customers and pull in more from their competitors. Be sure to compare data plans and fine print before you commit to anything! With recent tests done by third parties like OpenSignal, T-Mobile is still at the forefront. However, only time will tell who will come out on top by the end of the year.

What Does More C-Band Mean to Verizon Customers?

Despite what T-Mobile says about their own 5G network, Verizon continues to call its 5G Ultra Wideband, “the nation’s most reliable 5G network.” It may become more reliable now. Verizon has gained headway in their efforts by deploying more C-Band spectrum. It’s now using 100MHz in many US markets. This is almost double what they had been working with prior to this point. 

With more spectrum in use, customers should see significantly higher speeds. The cell towers will also be able to handle a much greater capacity to accommodate more devices and more robust services. It even opens up Verizon’s 5G Home broadband and Business Internet services to more customers. 

“This increase from using 60MHz to 100 MHz of C-band – which we will ultimately have available in many markets across the US  – allows us to support more network traffic, deliver even better performance to our customers and add new products and services on top of the mobile and fixed wireless access solutions we provide today,” said Kyle Malady, EVP and President, Global Networks and Technology.  “Reaching new levels of innovation and digital transformation in our society requires a fundamental transformation of the networks our world runs on. The continued evolution of our network is paving the way for this tremendous growth.”

Verizon started by running trials. Engineers achieved download speeds up to 1.4 Gbps near active cell sites. At distances further from the towers (distance not specified), they got up to 500 Mbps.  Once agreements with satellite providers cleared C-Band spectrum, they were finally able to make it available months earlier than expected (it was originally scheduled to be cleared in December 2023).  

This is only the start of customers gaining access to more spectrum. More spectrum should be cleared in the coming months and years. Verizon expects that customers will have access to between 140-200 MHz of C-Band spectrum across the nation.

What Frequency Bands Does 5G Use?

If you’re in the market for a 5G cellular modem or router, you may want to consider its supported frequency bands. There are three types of 5G. Sub-6 (also called FR1) refers to low band frequencies below 6GHz, and mmWave (also called FR2) refers to frequencies over 24GHz. You also have mid band, or the C-band, which covers 4GHz to 8GHz. However, carriers are more focused on the range of 3.7 to 4.2GHz.

When 5G was initially rolled out, it used Sub-6 5G that stayed mainly below the 2GHz range. These frequencies were already used by 4G/LTE and even older 3G networks, so carriers had the necessary licenses to use them. This made it quick and easy for AT&T and T-Mobile to roll out 5G on top of their existing networks.

To this day, the most widely available 5G service in the U.S. is running on low band frequencies. Not only because it was the first service available, but because it covers the most distance. The downside is that in a lot of cases, the connection is only as good as LTE. 

C-band is the next best for 5G. While the distance it covers is not as much as Sub-6, it does offer a better 5G experience. In comparison, mmWave runs off the higher frequencies so it does not travel as far. This however, is the truest version of 5G with its significantly faster speeds, lower latency, and high reliability. 

Here’s a breakdown of the bands to look out for in the device specifications:

Sub-6/ 5G NR: n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n12, n20, n25, n28, n38, n40, n41, n46, n48, n66, n71, n77, n78, n79, n83

C-band: n77, n78, n79

mmWave: n257, n258, n259, n260, n261

Due to its availability, a majority of the 5G products we carry will only support Sub-6/ NR (New Radio) bands. There are a handful that will also support all C-band frequencies. To check those out, see below.

Should you be lucky enough to have mmWave coverage in your location, stay tuned for the Cradlepoint W4005.

How Satellites Can Help With the 5G Rollout

News from the world of satellites comes as U.S. wireless operators try to get more of their C-band spectrum rolled out to users. The reason is that companies like Intelsat and SES have licenses to this spectrum. SES just announced this week that they would be willing to assist with the launch of a satellite. The plan will be to clear out this spectrum so that wireless carriers could begin utilizing it for their 5G networks. 

The SES-22 launched from SpaceX’s Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral in Florida on Wednesday. It will deliver TV and radio content to millions of American homes and provide other critical data transmission.

The FCC began this accelerated C-Band clearing program and SES Chief Development Officer Christophe De Hauwer was brought in to lead SES’ efforts. SES’s responsibilities include ensuring ground stations are correctly pointed and tuned, technology is upgraded where needed and filters are installed to protect customers against interference.  

“It’s definitely a complicated program,” De Hauwer said. “It’s the orchestration of the whole thing… It’s a very big spreadsheet.”

The first phase involved the lower 120 MHz that was cleared last year. This second part requires clearing the lower 300 MHz of spectrum so that everything can be packed into the upper 200 MHz.

SES is launching a total of five satellites to make this second phase happen, De Hauwer said. The launch this week carries one satellite, while two more launches later this year will carry two each. This will give SES enough capacity to support its customers, which are moving into the higher frequencies aligned with the new satellites. The first satellite is expected to be operational for SES customers in August.

After SES completed Phase 1 ahead of the December 2021 deadline, they announced a deal with Verizon to speed up the process. Their efforts earned almost $1 billion in accelerated relocation payments by doing so. They’re expecting to earn another $3 billion in accelerated payments by meeting the Phase 2 December 2023 deadline ahead of schedule.

Satellite companies weren’t happy of course to make these moves, but the FCC offered the accelerated relocation payment plan, and they took it. Naturally, they don’t want their own services to be affected – something that would affect customers of content providers like CBS, Disney and Viacom. They lease capacity from the satellite companies. In turn, they work out deals with cable companies to get their programming on the air.

When Will the FAA Allow 5G Enhancements Around Airports?

It has been months since Verizon and AT&T agreed to temporarily limit their 5G expansion plans due to concerns about how the new wireless standard could interfere with aircraft tools. All this time, the Federal Aviation Administration has been working with the cellular carriers to find a solution to using 5G safely at and around airports. They are currently in a “phased approach” to the 5G launch.

On Friday, they all reached an agreement that will allow the carriers to expand their 5G service around some airports while continuing to temporarily hold off elsewhere. This will allow companies time to retrofit their aircrafts with equipment that is less susceptible to 5G interference. Part of the plan is to have those with the most vulnerable (to 5G interference) regional aircrafts be required to retrofit the planes with radio frequency filters by the end of the year.

As both the FAA and carriers work together they have also identified certain airports near which the telecommunications companies will be able to enhance their service with the least risk of causing disruptions to flight schedules.

Per the press release, acting FAA Administrator Billy Nolen said, “We believe we have identified a path that will continue to enable aviation and 5G C-band wireless to safely co-exist.” 

The latest release noted that AT&T and Verizon had previously agreed to limit the service until July 5 and have since offered “to continue with some level of voluntary mitigations for another year.” When that time is up, it’s expected that airlines and other operators will be done with the work required to enhance their aircraft with the appropriate equipment. This would then allow the wireless companies “to operate their networks in urban areas with minimal restrictions.” 

“Today’s announcement identifies a path forward that will enable Verizon to make full use of our C-Band spectrum for 5G around airports on an accelerated and defined schedule,” Verizon Chief Administrative Officer Craig Silliman said in the Friday press release. “Under this agreement reached with the FAA, we will lift the voluntary limitations on our 5G network deployment around airports in a staged approach over the coming months meaning even more consumers and businesses will benefit from the tremendous capabilities of 5G technology.”

An AT&T spokesperson also commented, stating that the company is moving toward seeing all voluntary restrictions lapse by next summer.

“Through close coordination with the FAA over the last several months, we have developed a more tailored approach to controlling signal strength around runways that allows us to activate more towers and increase signal strength,” the AT&T spokesperson said. “Though our FCC licenses allow us to fully deploy much-needed C-Band spectrum right now, we have chosen in good faith to implement these more tailored precautionary measures so that airlines have additional time to retrofit equipment.”

What Are the Results of the Opensignal Speed Tests on C-band?

Opensignal - 5G, 4G, 3G Internet & WiFi Speed Test - Apps on Google Play

Opensignal has released some findings from tests performed using mid-band services from AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. This is their first major report since AT&T and Verizon launched their first C-band service back in January. 

Prior to C-Band coming out, T-Mobile was and still is using its 2.5GHz nationwide 5G network. This was from the spectrum they obtained via the Sprint merger. 

Now that the carriers are on more level playing fields, Opensignal determined it was time to put them all to the test. The Opensignal team has measured the impact of each carrier’s C-Band rollout on their nationwide performance within its new Quantifying the impact of C-band on 5G mobile experience in the U.S.

Results show that Verizon Wireless customers came out on top with the initial C-Band rollout. Thanks to the C-band coverage, the carrier’s average nationwide 5G download speed increased by 15Mbps. This spiked from 55.7Mbps shortly before the launch to 70.6Mbps following it. That’s a boost of more than 26% in download rates. Upload speeds on the other hand showed no clear change. Sadly, for AT&T customers, the results before and after the C-band launch were not much different on download or upload speeds. 

Opensignal noted that these differences with AT&T and Verizon weren’t exactly surprising. You simply need to compare the rate at which the carriers rolled out service and the number of users they were capable of reaching in this short amount of time. Verizon was able to reach more customers in their rollout than AT&T. 

Next, Opensignal measured the head-to-head performance of each carrier’s respective mid-band 5G offering. As you’ll see below, T-Mobile won with the highest download rate. They however lost on the upload rate to Verizon, which came in a close second on download speed. 

In their report, Opensignal stressed that, even when limiting its measurements to mid-band connections only, there’s more at work here than raw speed. The company says the other biggest factor is available spectrum ranges and their impact on network capacity. The more spectrum that’s available, the more users can connect before everyone’s download, and upload speeds begin to decline from congestion. It’s helpful to note that both AT&T entered the mid-band 5G game with 40MHz of available spectrum, while Verizon owns 60MHz. Comparatively, T-Mobile is believed to have deployed between 60MHz and 80MHz, with as much as 100MHz available for eventual deployment. 

The last item Opensignal looked at were the mid-band download rates of Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile in five major cities: Chicago, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and Phoenix. AT&T was purposely left out since their mid-band was only available in Chicago. T-Mobile’s extensive network came out the winner here. It was only a close call when it came to results from Los Angeles.

In conclusion, Opensignal reminded readers that it is still very early days for competitive mid-band 5G in the U.S. However, it already detected average download rates on mid-band 5G that are “much faster — three to four times when connected to mid-band 5G on AT&T and Verizon compared to the average 5G download speeds our users experienced on the two carriers before they activated their C-band networks.” 

Thanks to the lead T-Mobile has over the other carriers, they’re likely to stay on top. Although, as Opensignal put it, “data shows that Verizon and soon AT&T now have the required mid-band spectrum to start the chase.”

What is the Latest on Verizon’s C-band Deployment

Last week, we reported that Verizon Wireless would be adding more C-band coverage to 30 additional markets this year. This is happening about a year ahead of schedule. 

With a budget of more than $45 billion, Verizon obtained C-band at a FCC auction and received an average of 161 MHz nationwide, including 60 MHz in the top 46 markets, which is where it’s already deployed covering 100 million people. Additional markets covered by the so-called “A block” licenses in the 3.7-3.8 GHz range, weren’t expected to be ready until the December 2023 time frame.

Verizon can utilize those A block licenses now to deploy its 5G Ultra Wideband service “on at least 60 MHz of spectrum and up to 100 MHz of spectrum in some areas.” Those include large metro areas of Atlanta, Baltimore, Washington D.C., and Denver.

The second part of the C-band rollout, which is an additional 180 MHz of spectrum between 3.8 GHz-3.98 GHz, remains on track to be cleared in December 2023, according to a Verizon spokesperson.

In addition to the amount paid for the licenses, Verizon owed clearing costs to ready the band plus incentive payments. This enticed satellite operators to speed up the process and they made the spectrum available earlier.

Roger Entner, principal and founder of Recon Analytics, says he expected things to play out as they are. Following the auction, the FCC encouraged satellite players and license winners to negotiate for faster clearing times.

Due to the quicker schedule, Entner says Verizon is paying additional money to those like SES, however the carrier declined to disclose details on the contracts.

Verizon will also likely be quick to gain access to any A-block spectrum that is not covered by current agreements.

“You can bet they are heavily negotiating with the other satellite providers to also clear that out and so that they can accelerate this even further,” Entner said, adding those payments would be less as there’s a time value component – say for six months early versus a year.

With so much competition from T-Mobile lately, it’s clear why Verizon has been moving so quickly to deploy C-band service. They started by increasing coverage from zero to 90 million when it launched on January 19. Then, it increased by 5 million one week later, and now they are up to more than 100 million.

“This early spectrum clearance is just the latest development that allows us to bring 5G Ultra Wideband to our customers faster,” said Kyle Malady, EVP and president of Global Network and Technology, in the announcement. “We’ve been able to accelerate deployment because we’re driving more efficiency and coverage from the C-band spectrum, leveraging opportunities like the one we are announcing today, and leveraging our already in place infrastructure. In my career with Verizon, I have never experienced a network deployment move so quickly.”

A-block Licenses

While AT&T focused on less expensive B and C block licenses, Verizon set its sights on A block licenses during Auction 107. This is part of the key to 5G C-band access. 

“Their game plan is coming nicely to fruition,” Entner said of Verizon’s focus on those licenses. “They’re getting the markets faster.”

According to Entner, Verizon is getting a full 100 MHz of C-band earlier than expected in certain locations. To users in some cities smaller than the top 46 Partial Economic Areas (PEAs), this could mean faster bandwidth speeds even sooner than those in the largest markets would receive. The reason for this is that, of the earliest available A block C-band, Verizon has 60 MHz in those 46 markets while AT&T has 40 MHz. They are essentially sharing the 100 MHz A-block until 2023, which is when AT&T is expected to shift to the B/C block license channels. After that, Verizon will obtain its full amount of A block spectrum.

Even so, Verizon can always negotiate to have full access in any of the markets smaller than the top 46, Entner noted. That was made evident when Verizon recently announced the full 100 MHz for some markets.

C-band

As it’s been said multiple times before, Verizon needs to step up their competition and pushing up its C-band deployment to cover more people with mid-band 5G is going to be the key to this. 

“Verizon really needs this,” Entner said of the faster C-band deployment timeline.

The carrier gained new subscribers last year, but not net accounts. Essentially, their growth was solely from existing customers adding new lines, Entner explained. 

“That is not sustainable, it’s like wringing water out of an already dry sponge,” Entner said.

Most might say this is because of the premium price Verizon has been known to charge for their service. This has become more challenging for the carrier as third-party speed results continue to show T-Mobile as the 5G network leader for speeds and coverage.

“And when the claim and reality become divergent, you have a problem,” Entner said.

Consumer perception and lack of account growth is “why they [Verizon] really need C-band and C-band fast, so that they can close the gap with T-Mobile,” he continued. “So that T-Mobile can’t say ‘I have a faster network and I’m cheaper’ to consumers.”

Speeding up the deployment of C-band could help Verizon to catch up with T-Mobile. Although they have big plans to reach 300 million people with mid-band spectrum by the end of 2023. Verizon only expects to cover 250 million by the end of 2024.

For comparison, AT&T is set to cover 200 million people by the end of 2023 with mid-band 5G, including 3.45 GHz spectrum.

How to Get More 5G with the Cradlepoint W1850

Cradlepoint and Verizon announced last week that they certified the W1850 5G Wideband Adapter to provide more connectivity options to Business Internet customers. Not only does this device support 5G, but it supports Verizon’s Ultra Wideband (UWB) network, which provides connectivity to the C-band spectrum. This is the spectrum at which 5G speeds can seriously exceed those of LTE and 5G on the low-band spectrum. 

As stated in a recent article from Verizon, this is a significant milestone for Verizon’s 5G Fixed Wireless Access strategy. 

“Enterprise and business market customers can now harness the power of 5G UWB, and with this device, get the speed and flexibility they need, especially those with a distributed or hybrid workforce.”

Verizon understands what businesses need and they are working with Cradlepoint to meet customer demands. Part of this process will be to make 5G UWB available to 175 million users by the end of this year. That can only be achieved with a reliable mid-band capable modem like the Cradlepoint W1850 adapter. 

“Businesses are looking for partners that can provide fit-for-purpose solutions that unlock the full potential of 5G,” says Massimo Peselli, senior vice president of Global Enterprise, Verizon Business. “The collaboration we’ve announced today with Cradlepoint unlocks the potential of cellular for businesses and delivers Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband to businesses of all sizes, enabling them to take advantage of C-Band spectrum. Our strategic relationship has allowed us to deliver enterprise class solutions that, among other things, enable IT organizations to manage the entire Wireless WAN lifecycle.”

Cradlepoint has always been a trusted partner in helping customers to reach their business goals via managed wireless WAN solutions. They have over 15 years of experience working with carriers across the globe and can fit the needs for various fixed and mobile applications, accommodating one to multiple users. Together with Verizon Wireless, they have a collaborative relationship that provides customers the tried and tested solutions they are looking for. 

“Cradlepoint 5G Wireless WAN solutions have been specifically designed to support the Verizon 5G mid-band networks and have gone through extensive testing and certification from Verizon,” says Justin Blair, Vice President Carrier Business Development at Cradlepoint. “Cradlepoint has in-depth experience supporting enterprise adoption of 5G services—whether you need low, mid or high band—we will have you covered regardless of your use case.”
