Verizon is bringing 5G to businesses

Verizon and wireless network equipment provider Cradlepoint launched a new trial program, dubbed Pathway to 5G for Business, that's based on Verizon's 5G fixed wireless service with Cradlepoint's wireless router.

The program, which provides the first fixed 5G service for businesses in the US, enables participating enterprises to enjoy internet speeds around 300 Mbps, with peek speeds of up to 1Gbps, for a limited time.

The move marks Verizon's latest step to expand its presence in the 5G space, as the company unveiled its fixed 5G service targeted at the home last week.
