Verizon said that it has successfully completed tests of Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) technology in its live network in Minnesota and Texas, adding that the testing “showed effective completion of data sessions with both LTE and 5G [New Radio] services running simultaneously over low band spectrum.”
DSS allows 5G to run in multiple bands simultaneously with LTE. Verizon has long said that DSS is the foundation of its strategy to expand 5G beyond millimeter-wave-based deployments in urban centers and take the technology nationwide.
