Verizon 5G now available in parts of Los Angeles

Verizon is one step closer to realizing its goal of having 5G service available in more than 30 US cities by the end of the year. On Monday the carrier announced that it has turned on its 5G network in parts of Los Angeles, marking the 19th city to get its new network. The carrier has launched 5G ultra wideband access in downtown, Chinatown, Del Rey and Venice.

Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband service is now available in Los Angeles, Boston, Houston, Sioux Falls, Dallas, Omaha, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, Providence, St. Paul, Atlanta, Detroit, Indianapolis, Washington DC, Phoenix, Boise, Panama City, and New York City.

5G access is also expected to come to Charlotte, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Des Moines, Little Rock, Memphis and Salt Lake City. Additional 5G Ultra Wideband cities will be announced before the end of the year.

Verizon also announced back in April that the Galaxy S10 5G will support 5G.

"The Galaxy S10 5G on Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband network will give our customers access to incredible speeds and the latest and greatest streaming, augmented-reality, gaming, and consumer and business applications that bring us into a future powered by 5G," said Ronan Dunne, executive vice president and president of Verizon's consumer group. "With the rollout of 5G in more than 30 markets by the end of 2019 and the upcoming launch of Samsung's first 5G Galaxy smartphone, we are pulling further ahead of the competition in 5G."
