Verizon announced that it is working with Boingo Wireless, a leading distributed antenna system (DAS), small cells and Wi-Fi provider, to bring 5G Ultra Wideband service indoors and to public spaces – places like airports, stadiums and arenas, office buildings, hotels, etc.
Verizon and Boingo are working together to architect a hyper-dense network designed for large and small indoor spaces as part of Verizon’s ongoing 5G network expansions.
Verizon is bringing its 5G service to more cities and public locations with more 5G devices. On August 23rd 5G Ultra Wideband service will be available in parts of Greater Phoenix, Ariz. This is the tenth U.S. city to get Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband mobility service since April.
Initially, Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband service will be concentrated in Downtown Phoenix around several well-known landmarks. When customers move outside Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband coverage area, the 5G-enabled devices hand off the signal to Verizon’s 4G network.
