Verizon launches first 5G mobile service in Chicago, Minneapolis

Verizon has confirmed the start of its 5G mobile service, in parts of Minneapolis and Chicago. The launch came a week ahead of schedule. Customers can access the service with the new 5G mod for the Moto Z3 smartphone and receive speeds of up to 1 Gbps. 

Verizon claims it is the first in the world to offer the 5G mobile service with a smartphone. Earlier launches, such as AT&T last year, used hotspot devices. Last year Verizon launched a fixed-wireless over its own 5G standard, for customers to use at home. The mobile service uses global 5G standards and Verizon expects to expand the service to more than 30 US cities in 2019.
