Verizon’s C-Band turn-up has resulted in a 5G network that is “nothing like its predecessor,” Signals Research Group concludes in a new report.
SRG tested Verizon’s 5G “Ultra Wideband” network, which now encompasses both the carrier’s C-Band and millimeter-wave spectrum. That network is markedly different — and much higher performing — compared to the incarnation of the carrier’s 5G network that relies on Dynamic Spectrum Sharing between LTE and 5G, the testing and analysis firm added.
