- Engineers have deployed 5G Ultra Wideband service using Millimeter Wave (mmWave), its premium, high-band spectrum which allows for extremely fast speeds and massive capacity as well as C-band spectrum designed for high capacity and wide coverage. 5G Ultra Wideband service is now available around
East Lake ,Temple Terrace , MacDill,Ybor City ,Downtown Tampa , throughout the Town and Country area,Hyde Park ,Tampa Heights , the Gray Gables area, theSouth Seminole Heights area,Busch Gardens ,Adventure Island and theUniversity Mall area. - Tampa’s exceptional 5G coverage uses a combination of mmWave spectrum and Verizon’s recently acquired C-band spectrum. Verizon engineers are using 60 MHz of C-band spectrum to deliver 5G service to customers. By the end of the year, customers in
Tampa will be able to take advantage of more than twice that amount of spectrum as it becomes available for 5G Ultra Wideband. That additional bandwidth will turbo charge the service, offering significantly higher speeds, much greater capacity to accommodate more customers and more robust services - Lastly, the addition of 5G service and the many additional wireless solutions allow far more data to travel on the wireless network in
Tampa . That exponential increase in data carried into and out of the cell sites serving the community requires upgraded fiber optic cable links. Fiber optic cables are used to move data between cell sites and connect those sites to the rest of the network. Verizon has increased the capacity on the fiber connections in many cell sites in theTampa area so they can carry 10 times the amount of data.
