The platform also ensures capital efficiency for Verizon’s 5G deployment.
IDC’s Schoolar said Verizon Wireless has made significant progress, now offering 5G coverage to 100 million people on its C-band spectrum and on track to cover 175 million people by the end of the year. It is expected. This is about a year earlier than previously predicted.

Electric is building its own 5G-enabled LTE private network to enable a variety of new features, including new wildfire safety technology that can shut off power before broken power lines hit the ground. “SDG&E also believes that this private wireless system will not only help more effectively manage growing amounts of renewable power and grid-connected energy storage systems, but also meet the growing demand from electric vehicle charging. That’s what I think.”
