Verizon upgrades network for Columbus customers
31 Maio 2023 - 10:00AM
Verizon has recently made major upgrades to the network serving
customers in Columbus, OH. These upgrades are part of a multi-year
redesign of its network architecture to stay ahead of exponential
data usage increases, upgrade the technology in the network, and to
pave the way for personalized customer experiences. Network
upgrades in Columbus include deploying new cell sites to extend
coverage and capacity in local communities. They also include
adding more capacity on fiber optic cables to move more data
through the network and adding bandwidth to the cellular network to
accommodate new services like wireless internet service for homes
and businesses. Specifics on the upgrades include:
- Engineers have deployed 5G Ultra
Wideband service using Millimeter Wave (mmWave), its premium,
high-band spectrum which allows for extremely fast speeds and
massive capacity as well as C-band spectrum designed for fast
speeds, high capacity and wide coverage. With the recent
deployments and upgrades, 96% of people in Columbus now have access
to 5G service from Verizon. Verizon Engineers have deployed 5G
Ultra Wideband service using its C-band spectrum designed for high
capacity and wide coverage. Most notably, Verizon’s 5G Ultra
Wideband service is now available in the Arena District,
Franklinton, South Columbus, West Columbus, Hilliard, Ohio State
Campus area, Whitehall, Blacklick, Clintonville, Delaware,
Westerville, Polaris, Powell, Grove City, and Sunbury.
- Columbus’s exceptional 5G coverage
uses a combination of mmWave spectrum and Verizon’s recently
acquired C-band spectrum. Verizon engineers are using 60 MHz
of C-band spectrum to deliver 5G service to customers. By the end
of the year, customers in Columbus will be able to take advantage
of more than twice that amount of spectrum as it becomes available
for 5G Ultra Wideband. That additional bandwidth will turbo
charge the service, offering significantly higher speeds, much
greater capacity to accommodate more customers and more robust
services
- Lastly, the addition of 5G service and the many additional
wireless solutions allow far more data to travel on the wireless
network in Columbus. That exponential increase in data carried into
and out of the cell sites serving the community requires upgraded
fiber optic cable links. Fiber optic cables are used to move
data between cell sites and connect those sites to the rest of the
network. Verizon has increased the capacity on the fiber
connections in many cell sites in the Columbus area so they can
carry 10 times the amount of data.
“We know customers count on us, and we work everyday to ensure
we deliver for them. Our reliable, secure network connects
families, friends, homes and businesses in Columbus, OH with
best-in-class 5G Ultra Wideband technology,” said Dean Brauer, Vice
President of Engineering and Operations for Verizon.
With these and other technology advancements on Verizon’s
network, customers are able to use more data in more ways. This
multi-service network powers:
- Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that do very little networking
and stay in place,
- smartphones with countless opportunities to use data in a
highly mobile environment,
- home and business internet which provides connectivity via the
wireless network for homes, offices and retail environments,
and
- complex solutions like Augmented Reality or enterprise
real-time video and data analysis that require massive computing
capabilities.
As 5G technology advances and is even more widely adopted by
consumers the variety of solutions that will use Verizon’s network
will continue to evolve as well.
