Three new cities are now live with Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband service: Little Rock, AR, Kansas City, MO and Cincinnati, OH. These cities join the list of 31 5G Ultra Wideband cities launched in 2019. Verizon’s 5G mobility service is built right and a truly powerful experience that has the potential to significantly impact industries as diverse as public safety, health care, retail and sports including this week’s big game.
“We’re continuing to expand our 5G Ultra Wideband service to more customers, starting 2020 where we left off in 2019,” said Kyle Malady, chief technology officer for Verizon. “Our 5G Ultra Wideband network uses millimeter wave spectrum and is specifically designed to provide customers significantly faster download speeds and greater bandwidth than what is delivered in today’s 4G world. What we’re building is transformational and will change the way we live, work and play.”
