Verizon in a millimeter wave groove, CTO Malady says, according to FierceWireless

From FierceWireless:

C-band deployments may be front and center as 2021 progresses, but Verizon continued to build millimeter wave 5G sites throughout the pandemic and has gotten into a good rhythm to support high traffic areas, according to CTO Kyle Malady.

In March Verizon said it expected to build 14,000 additional mmWave sites by the end of the year, while allocating an additional $10 billion over three years for C-band deployment. It spent big to acquire 161-megahertz on average nationwide of the midband spectrum at the FCC’s recent auction and as of 2020 had more than 2,000-megahertz of mmWave.

Speaking Monday at a Wells Fargo investor conference, Malady noted that unlike C-band, where existing macro grid infrastructure will serve initial deployments, “millimeter wave is a different story. I need to build.”

That means zoning, laying fiber, getting access to light poles and other infrastructure and deploying equipment.
