INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
By the end of 2019, Verizon 5G had launched service in 31 cities across the US
As the network expands in 2020, more customers will experience the promised 1Gbps speeds - but there are other benefits to 5G.In a meeting
room deep in the Sands Convention Center at CES 2020, Verizon consumer wireless group CEO Ronan Dunne explained to TheIndianSubcontinent how
all the great tech we saw at CES 2020There are plenty of 5G phones on sale right now - but which are the best?Verizon isn't the only 5G
next step is to build out its own fully virtualized 5G network core
In essence: lower-priority data like authentication will be on the 4G network, while the upcoming 5G core will be dedicated to big-data
at the heart of 5G Home has been delayed, but they expect to see it arrive by the middle of 2020
Once that happens, Verizon will have an extra push for 5G Home in the second half of the year.We saw Verizon 5G Home at a demonstration for
its launch in Chicago and, while the speeds we saw of 147.2 Mbps speeds were nominally better than typical home internet, we came away with
questions about its capability in real-world deployments
Would trees or other signal occlusions between tower and customer homes limit those speeds? Or would the signal decline over distance from
the signal emitter?5G Home has a lot of potential for its simplified installation (no more laying cable) and its potential for more
streamlined improvements (over-the-air upgrades instead of replacing old cable with better new lines)
