Verizon recently announced the latest three cities with access to its 5G Ultra Wideband millimeter wave (mmWave) network: Sacramento; Seattle; and Pensacola, Florida.
Pensacola is notable because it will enable a 5G network that Verizon has started deploying at Tyndall Air Force Base. The 5G network at Tyndall is part of a broader 2019 contract Verizon has with the Air Force covering 10 bases throughout the Southeast.
According to Andres Irlando, SVP and president for Verizon Public Sector, Verizon is already offering 5G at seven of those 10 bases.
