Matt Ellis, Verizon’s CFO, recently spoke about how C-band and mmWave would be a part of Verizon’s home Internet offerings, and the wireless giant also maintains that the relationship between Qualcomm and Verizon is as strong as ever.

By leveraging E-UTRAN New Radio Dual Connectivity (EN-DC) technology which combines 40 MHz of 4G frequencies and 100 MHz of 5G frequencies on C-band spectrum, Samsung was able to hit mindblowing download speeds.

Brouillette will report to Ronan Dunne, the Chief Executive of the Verizon Consumer Group, the biggest revenue generator for the company.

AT&T will look to put its 1,621 licenses in the 3.7-3.98 GHz band won from auction to use as Verizon is in the middle of its deployment and T-Mobile has a large advantage in the C-band space due to the spectrum it acquired when merging with Sprint.

The deal will lease space on existing towers which aligns with the goal of Verizon’s previous comments to overlay its mid-band spectrum for 5G over its 4G LTE grid already in place.

When it is all said and done, Verizon spent nearly $53 billion on C-band at the latest auction, and it is now looking to grow through the deployment of 5G, fixed wireless solutions powered by 5G, mobile edge computing (MEC) capabilities, and unlimited plans.

Beginning on December 8, 2020, the C-band auction went 97 rounds with the assignment going 43 rounds before ending. Each of the licenses, all 5,684 of them, were sold in the highest-grossing spectrum auction in FCC history.

The concerns now revolve around the investment leftover by companies to deploy 5G after spending so much on spectrum.

Pivotal continues to move forward and has started providing mmWave solutions for 5G since its formation including for major brands such as Verizon.

SBA Communications is reporting success thanks to the increase in business from the T-Mobile-Sprint merger.
