Envrmnt -- Verizon's extended reality organization -- has created a simple-to-use, web-based tool to build powerful AR experiences

Get seamless signal on Atlantic Ave., from subway to street to arena. We overlap the signals of our antennas in the station, on the buildings and inside the arena, so you stay connected.

Hans Vestberg, executive vice president and president of Global Networks and chief technology officer for Verizon, provides an easy-to-understand explanation of 5G.

If you think of the evolution of our mobile network, 1G was Voice, 2G – Texting, 3G – Data & Apps, 4G – Mobile Video.

These were incremental advancements. 5G is transformational. We talk about 5G as the fourth industrial revolution.

5G offers a huge leap forward in latency and bandwidth. Its low latency means super-fast speeds and reaction times. Its high bandwidth means massive amounts of data.

It will make all sorts of things possible like remote robotic surgery, autonomous cars, super connected cities, smart manufacturing, cool AR and VR experiences, stuff people haven’t even dreamt up yet.

Now it’s important to know, 5G is not going to replace 4G. In fact, we are constantly coming up with new ways to make our 4G LTE network better and we won’t stop doing that.

When it comes to 5G, you’ll continue seeing noise about what everybody else is doing but you’ll see their idea of 5G is different than ours.They talk about much more improvements, theirs is incremental. What we are building is transformational.

Here at Verizon we not only have the best network for today, but also for tomorrow.

It’s why we always say, "we don’t wait for the future, we build it."

When there’s extra demand, we bring extra coverage. We installed 32 antennas along River Street to help add coverage to the main cell tower downtown.

In South Florida, a power outage doesn’t mean a signal outage. We put generators on the majority of our cell sites down here to make sure you have coverage when you need it.

The view makes this road beautiful; small cells help make it safe. We installed 12 small cells across the canyon to give visitors a signal throughout the drive.
