Verizon to Debut 5G Residential Broadband in Sacramento, Other Markets Next Year

Verizon will launch 5G-enabled wireless residential broadband services in three to five U.S. markets next year, it said Wednesday. The first will be Sacramento, in the second half. The carrier said other markets would be announced later. It said it successfully tested 5G residential applications in 11 markets this year, and 5G residential broadband services are a potential 30 million-household market. Chief Technology Officer Hans Vestberg said the initial launches "will provide a strong framework for accelerating 5G’s future deployment on the global standards.”
