accelerates 5G network deployment
“Verizon recently partnered with Pivotal Commware, Inc., a Verizon Ventures portfolio company, to conduct trials in Dearborn, Michigan that improve 5G coverage and performance for residents and visitors by strategically placing intelligent repeaters to enhance and boost Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wide Band signal.”
“As we’ve known since our very early trials, high band spectrum provides more limited coverage from macro cells. Introducing repeaters like the ones we are trialing from Pivotal will help us expand the footprint of our new 5G Ultra Wide Band network and provide another tool in the toolbox for robust network design.”
"Pivotal’s solution is an innovative way to efficiently enhance the design of the network and improve service in hard to reach areas."

Verizon Aims to Expand its 5G Fixed Wireless Range Through Repeaters, Adds New 5G Market
by Phil Britt
"In the Detroit market, Verizon is now trialing repeaters for 5G Home through a partnership with Pivotal Commware, Inc. The use of millimeter wave spectrum for 5G Home restricts the range of the service. These repeaters aim to enhance that range by amplifying, then retransmitting the signal, and thus allow Verizon to expand its 5G Home marketable reach per 5G cell site. This trial focuses on larger, multi-unit dwellings such as apartments or dormitories."
