Verizon's service offers speeds of 100Mbps, 200Mbps, and 400Mbps, targeting large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises, with no traffic restrictions. For new customers, prices are locked in for 10 years, and there is no need to sign a long-term contract.

Last year, Verizon began to launch 5G services, which are similar in speed to T-Mobile's network but slower than AT&T. Verizon is preparing to expand its 5G enterprise network to the entire United States, so that companies can use video collaboration tools and edge computing. It should be noted that Verizon's 5G service is provided through a fixed wireless network.

When a company collects a large amount of data in a certain place, such as a factory, oil well, or office, edge computing can use AR and machine learning technology for analysis. At this time, data needs to be transmitted at ultra-high speeds, and 5G networks come in handy.

Verizon has teamed up with Microsoft and Nokia to help customers automate factory operations, reduce costs and increase data speeds using private 5G networks.
