Verizon extends 5G network slicing portfolio
Verizon Business has added a new fixed wireless access option built on its standalone 5G core, aimed at customers who need stronger upload performance. Branded 5G Network Slice, Enhanced Internet, the service offers enterprise internet access with advertised speeds of 45Mb/s up and 200Mb/s down, traffic priority during network congestion, and no data caps.
Verizon pitches the service at organisations moving large volumes of data between edge and cloud, including AI inference, computer vision and other machine learning workloads. The company says the product comes with service level agreements tied to consistent connectivity and low latency, and can be managed remotely through the Verizon Business Internet Portal. Target sectors include media and entertainment, construction, distribution and healthcare. The offering is available in selected US areas, with broader coverage planned, and joins earlier 5G network slicing services for video calls and emergency responders launched in late 2024 and April 2025.
