Verizon's Nicola Palmer: We set the 5G bar high with millimeter wave spectrum

摘要

Verizon's chief network engineering officer and head of wireless networks, Nicola Palmer, told an audience at 5G North America in Austin TX that Verizon will be first to launch 5G residential broadband service in the U.S. and also shared the news that Verizon chairman and CEO had just announced on CNBC in New York that Los Angeles would be one of the first cities to get the service, joining Sacramento and two other yet to be named cities. Delivering a keynote outlining Verizon's path to 5G and the results of the company's successful millimeter wave spectrum field trials conducted last year, Palmer said the ongoing development and deployment of 5G is one of the great technology challenges of our time. "5G has the potential to change the ways we all live, work, learn and play," she said. "We believe 5G will actually usher in the fourth industrial revolution."
