Operator Verizon has increased its C-band spectrum in “many markets in the United States” to 100MHz. This is a significant increase from the 60MHz used in the 5G market to date.
The company said the addition of spectrum for 5G Ultra Wideband allows Verizon to offer higher speeds to more customers. In addition, the company can offer its 5G home broadband and business internet services to more customers in more places.
Kyle Malady, executive vice president and president of Verizon Worldwide Networks and Technology, said:
“Going from using the 60MHz to 100MHz C-band (which will eventually be available in many markets in the US) allows us to support more network traffic, provide better performance for our customers, and add new products and services on top of it Mobile and fixed wireless access solutions.”
Verizon plans to further increase its spectrum. Over the next few years, Verizon plans to give customers access to up to 200MHz of C-band spectrum. This means that more and more users will gradually use 5G services on their mobile devices.
Of course, as the service increases, so does the price. Just last month, Verizon raised prices on wireless plans, adding an “economic adjustment fee” to customers’ bills.
