\tVerizon launched mmWave 5G in three more cities this week, hitting a total of 21 as it moves toward its goal of covering at least 30 cities by the end of the year.<\/p>\n
As with its other mmWave deployments, the operator said coverage in Los Angeles, California; Des Moines, Iowa; and Hoboken, New Jersey is limited to select neighbourhoods, including downtown areas and key landmarks including stadiums.<\/p>\n
The rollouts came at the pace of one per day. At Qualcomm\u2019s recent Snapdragon Summit, Verizon\u2019s chief product development officer Nicola Palmer told Mobile World Live deployments will continue at a steady pace in 2020.<\/p>\n
At the time, Palmer said the operator will continue to focus on mmWave deployments, but noted it is also aiming to bring 5G to its low-band spectrum assets using dynamic spectrum sharing.<\/p>\n
Rival AT&T also deployed mmWave 5G in 21 cities and last week switched on low-band coverage [1] in ten cities. T-Mobile US offers mmWave coverage in six cities, along with a nationwide low-band network [2].<\/p>\n
Sprint offers mid-band coverage [3] on 2.5GHz spectrum in nine cities.<\/p>\n[1] https:\/\/www.mobileworldlive.com\/featured-content\/top-three\/att-takes-on-t-mobile-us-with-low-band-5g\/
