But two devices from Pivotal Commware can make those installations easier and less expensive. By Sascha Segan Verizon's ultra-fast 5G has a real estate problem. Pivotal Commware may have the solution. Millimeter-wave "ultra wideband" 5G is very fast and has huge bandwidth. It's the only kind of 5G Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg wanted to talk about in his CES keynote this week; I didn't hear him mention his company's "nationwide" 5G.

And the technology doesn't penetrate walls well, so it mostly runs straight up and down streets rather than around buildings. https://www.pcmag.com/news/with-its-small-cheap-repeaters-pivotal-is-the-partner-verizon-needs-for ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Sun, 17 Jan 2021
