WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Verizon Communications Inc plans to turn on around 2,000 additional towers in February to expand 5G C-Band deployment after talks with U.S. regulators, sources said.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said Friday it had agreed Verizon and AT&T could safely turn on more towers for C-Band 5G deployment. Verizon turned on about 5,100 towers in January and will be able to deploy about another 2,000 in February, the sources said.
