WHY VERIZON THINKS 5G IS STILL RELEVANT DURING LOCKDOWN
Tuesday, 25 August 2020
The coronavirus has shattered the economy, forcing people to stay at home. Millions of people have been laid off work, and everyone faces the uncertainty associated with the pandemic, which has resulted in more than three-quarters of a million people’s death. It's in this that service providers like Verizon are opting for the 5G service.
The year 2020 was supposed to be the year of 5G. However, the next-generation technology, found in costlier phones and premium phone plans, feels out of place due to the economic uncertainty and the fact that getting 5G speeds instantly doesn't matter since you are stranded at home.
"We plan, plan, plan -- all of a sudden, nobody saw this coming," said Kyle Malady, chief technology officer of Verizon.
Malady says demand for 5G devices continues to look favorable, with interest from early adopters. And though things may look depressing now, the company is working on applications that take advantage of the capabilities of 5G over the long term.
