Verizon`s mmWave 5G footprint has been extremely limited compared to competitors low-band rollouts. Verizon’s chief executive noted that the technology team is now rolling out 5G in an environment with “unconstrained supply” for mmWave, which was not the case last year as the carrier was one of the first to deploy high-band 5G and the ecosystem pushed to be ready.In terms of pace, Vestberg also pointed to the recent expansion of Verizon’s Ultra Wideband 5G service to parts of 19 new cities. The service, which uses high-band millimeter wave spectrum that Verizon sees as a differentiator, is now in limited areas of 55 cities. Verizon also almost doubled the size of the footprint in most of the cities where its mmWave 5G service already launched as part of the “enormously big rollout,” Vestberg said.Verizon notably timed the launch of its low-band nationwide 5G service with the debut of Apple’s first 5G-capble lineup of iPhones last week, but that performance is not expected to be much different than 4G. The carrier’s mmWave 5G, meanwhile, is meant to provide “an unparalleled experience” according to Vestberg, who joined Tim Cook on stage at Apple’s event.Still, Vestberg said none of this changes what Verizon has said about its revenue trajectory for 5G, or when it expects to make money from its multi-billion dollar 5G investment, with the different business cases it has. He reiterated Verizon doesn’t expect to see revenues from 5G Home or mobility until 2021, with 5G MEC revenues anticipated in 2022.In its earnings report Verizon said it now expects capital spending to land at the high-end of the $17.5 billion to $18.5 billion range it expected for 2020. As of the end of the third quarter, Verizon’s capital expenditures for 2020 were $14.2 billion. That money has been used to support increased traffic on Verizon’s 4G LTE network, its mmWave and low-band 5G buildouts, and significant fiber deployments in more than 60 markets. -- ???????? | |||
