Boston, Verizon partner on smart cities projects
Boston and Verizon have been working together for several years on smart city projects, and last month they decided to expand their partnership. The two announced that they would work together to expand Verizon’s wireless and fiber optic networks in the city and collaborate on additional smart city projects. Under a new 10-year agreement, Verizon will significantly expand its wireless small cell network to boost network speed and capacity to its existing 4G LTE network in the city and set the stage for the eventual deployment of 5G services in Boston.
