Verizon today launched 5G service in Washington DC, Atlanta, Detroit, and Indianapolis.
The mmWave service works best outdoors, and is available in areas where people tend to congregate, such as public parks, monuments, outside museums, on college campuses and in stadiums.
In Washington DC, the network covers parts of over 30 neighborhoods and landmarks, including the National Mall, The White House, George Washington University, Capital One Arena, Union Station, Dupont Circle, and the Georgetown Waterfront.
In Atlanta, coverage includes parts of Downtown, Midtown, Tech Square, Mercedes Benz Stadium, and Centennial Olympic Park.
In Detroit, service will initially be concentrated in parts of Dearborn, Livonia, and Troy. Verizon will be expanding 5G coverage in all of these cities in the months ahead.
The four cities launched today join Chicago, Denver, Minneapolis/St. Paul, and Providence.
Verizon has promised to launch 5G in over 30 cities by the end of the year.
