Verizon achieves 4.3 Gbps in C-band millimeter wave test

Verizon spent more than $45billion, gaining an average of 161 MHz C-band spectrum nationwide, including 60 MHz A-band spectrum, covering 46 markets and will begin to provide it later this year. Before the spectrum was cleared, the operator had deployed Ericsson and Samsung‘s C-band devices and conducted C-band tests in several different markets and laboratories to work in different aggregation combinations in various environments. As for more detailed plans for C-band testing, it is not disclosed.

Verizon is expected to provide 100 million people with C-band services by the first quarter of 2022. It is expected to cover more than 175million people by 2023.
