Verizon’s 5G network is now in parts of 35 cities, while its fixed wireless 5G Home product is currently in six markets. The plan is to be in more than 60 cities with its mobile Ultra Wideband 5G service by the end of 2020, and it expects to be in 10 markets with its 5G Home fixed wireless access (FWA) service this year.Its model will include nationwide, he added. “Think about our model being a millimeter wave that’s transformative – no one is even close to it in the world – then we will have a national coverage on top of that.” In addition, “we have the best 4G network in the world. I don’t think that our customers will be disappointed with us. We build things that are transformative.”Mobile edge compute (MEC) is going to be at 10 sites this year, and Verizon is working with IBM and SAP, two very important application providers. A lot of the use cases are about real-time decision making. A big manufacturing facility can use MEC to enable robotics, for example. IoT devices with 5G will enable new ways of delivering a service. Regarding a 5G iPhone from Apple that’s expected in the second half, Vestberg said he couldn’t comment on Apple’s plans but that will be a big event when it comes. The U.S. market has a high penetration on iOS, Apple’s operating system, and customers are reluctant to change from one OS to another – iOS versus Android. A 5G phone from Apple is “a very important event,” he said."But if that feels more like playing defense than offense, it is because, well, it is. And longer term, Verizon’s overreliance on millimeter wave spectrum leaves them vulnerable," Moffett said. "Their 5G deployment strategy leaves them well positioned only in dense urban setting, and indeed, only in dense urban gathering places. They remain exposed for coverage everywhere else. Even if they win big in the year-end auction for C-Band, they will be at least a few years behind T-Mobile. That will hurt especially in the Business market, where they are dominant today.” -- ???????? | |||
