5G is coming, Verizon has confirmed that it will launch 5G mobile services "early 2019"
According to foreign media reports, Verizon has confirmed that it will launch 5G mobile services when compatible terminals are available "early 2019." "With the availability of mobile terminals in early 2019, Verizon will quickly launch 5G mobile services for the first time." A Verizon spokesperson told LightReading this Thursday. Verizon said it will start providing gigabit "residential broadband" 5G fixed wireless services in the second half of this year, using Verizon's own 5GTF standard. In its second quarter earnings conference call on Tuesday, the company’s outgoing CEO Lowell McAdam revealed that Houston will become its third 5G fixed wireless service market, and another market will be announced later this year. Hans Vestberg (now Verizon CTO), who will be Verizon CEO on August 1, said that Verizon plans to upgrade its "multi-purpose" Intelligent Edge network as soon as possible to support 3GPP 5G NR standards for mobile services. This involves software upgrades to the 28GHz millimeter wave base stations that Verizon has used for fixed services. Hans Vestberg said that Verizon is deploying optical fiber to support at least 50 5G markets in the United States, which he called "2019 ambition." AT&T this week in its second quarter earnings conference call, reiterated that it will launch standards-based 5G mobile services in 12 cities in the United States by the end of 2018. Both AT&T and Verizon claim to be the first to launch 5G mobile services in the United States. AT&T said it will launch its "mobile puck" at the end of 2018. It is reported that "mobile puck" is a 5G router that can send millimeter wave signals to other terminals of users via WiFi. And Verizon seems to be waiting for the launch of 5G mobile phones in 2019. Qualcomm said last week that 5G "mobile hotspots" are expected to be launched by the end of this year, and 5G mobile phones will be launched in the first half of 2019. The earliest 5G mobile phones are expected to be released at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in February 2019.
