Verizon on Tuesday announced that it’s adding 5G service running over Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum. Verizon, together with Ericsson, announced that it’s completed a 5G data session using CBRS General Authorized Access (GAA) spectrum. Verizon said it will support 5G on both shared spectrum and Priority Access License (PAL) CBRS spectrum, an area of heavy Verizon investment in 2021.
“With this successful trial and CBRS licenses in markets across the nation, Verizon is positioned to expand its 5G network to this new spectrum in parallel with its ongoing 5G deployment on C-band,” it said.
