U.S. operator Verizon confirms that premium package users can enjoy C-band 5G signals
It is reported that users need to purchase Premium Unlimited unlimited data premium packages to enjoy the C-band 5G signal. C-Band refers to the 3400~3800MHz frequency band (n77, n78). This frequency band has sufficient bandwidth, fast speed, and low latency. It is the most supported frequency band by global operators. Previously, Verizon tried to use 4G network equipment to transmit 5G signals, but the effect was not as good as the network speed when 5G was turned off, so consumers were dissatisfied.
Verizon recently paid US$45.4 billion for the C-band in the FCC spectrum auction, setting a record, so the company had to promote its high-priced 5G package to guarantee revenue. The company predicts that in 2030, the proportion of its premium package users with unlimited data will increase from 21% to 50%.
