   Two years into Verizon's 'ultra wideband' 5G rollout, citywide   
   coverage, even in its initial launch cities, is still a dream. But two   
   devices from Pivotal Commware can make those installations easier and   
   less expensive.

   Verizon's ultra-fast 5G has a real estate problem. Pivotal Commware   
   may have the solution.   
      
   Millimeter-wave "ultra wideband" 5G is very fast and has huge   
   bandwidth. It's the only kind of 5G Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg wanted   
   to talk about in his CES keynote this week; I didn't hear him mention   
   his company's "nationwide" 5G. But it's very short range, to the point   
   where Verizon has to put a panel every 1,500 feet or less to establish   
   in-city coverage. And the technology doesn't penetrate walls well, so   
   it mostly runs straight up and down streets rather than around   
   buildings.
