Verizon 5G consists of three spectrum ranges that provide value and support for a variety of industrial use cases.

Low-band: 5G Nationwide

  • Speeds comparable to 4G LTE and the most coverage
  • < 1 GHz

Mid-band (C-band): 5G UW

  • Fast speeds and more coverage than high band
  • Between 1 and 6 GHz

5G Ultra Wideband available in select areas.

High-band (millimeter-wave): 5G UW

  • Incredibly fast speeds and targeted coverage
  • mmWave 28 GHz and 39 GHz

5G Ultra Wideband available in select areas.

Over 2022 and 2023, coverage is expected to increase to more than 175 million people in the 46 markets. By 2024 and beyond, when the remaining C-Band is cleared, more than 250 million people are expected to have access to Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband service on C-Band spectrum.

5G Business internet complements the full suite of Verizon Business tools and offerings, including OneTalk voice communications, advanced security and other business services.

C-Band is referred to as “mid-band” spectrum because it sits between low-band spectrum, like Verizon’s 700 MHz, and high-band spectrum, like our mmWave 28 GHz and 39 GHz. This band is widely used across the globe, with a mature ecosystem of chipsets, devices and network infrastructure.

Verizon was the first in the world to launch a 5G mobile network, and since then we’ve deployed millimeter-wave (mmWave)-based 5G Ultra Wideband service in parts of more than 80 cities. In March 2021 Verizon invested $52.9 billion in new C-Band spectrum, winning between 140 and 200 MHz of C-Band—more than doubling our existing mid-band spectrum holdings.

With C-Band, it's not only about the bandwidth, it's also the ability to expand our Ultra Wideband coverage to a larger population of both consumers and businesses.
