Verizon recently completed successful trials of Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) technology in Texas and Minnesota. The trials, conducted in a live network environment, showed effective completion of data sessions with both LTE and 5G NR services running simultaneously over low band spectrum.
“The most recent successful trials of our DSS technology demonstrate we are on track to launch 5G Nationwide in 2020,” said Adam Koeppe, Senior Vice President of Technology Planning at Verizon. “DSS will allow us to run 5G technology on the same spectrum bands as LTE without inefficiently wasting spectrum resources. It will complement Verizon’s primary strategy of offering a keenly differentiated 5G Ultra Wideband service on mmWave spectrum which will remain our deployment priority.”
