      • 5G Business Internet is an ‘up to’ bandwidth service. The maximum bandwidth allowed will be associated with the speed tier selected for your service (e.g., 400 Mbps). There is no minimum bandwidth level. Consult with your Verizon Account Manager about your specific use cases to ensure appropriate speed tier selection.
      • Any customer owned networking equipment residing within the router’s Local Area Network must have networking physical interfaces capable of supporting the subscribed services downlink speeds.  Customer networking devices should, at a minimum, support 1 Gigabit Ethernet to accommodate internet speeds in excess of 100 Mbps.
      • Latency: We suggest consulting your Verizon Account Manager for the latest information on end-to-end latency.
    Downlink Bandwidth when using 4G LTE fallback +
      • If 5G access is not available, 5G Business Internet will automatically provide access to Verizon’s 4G LTE network to continue support of data traffic. When in 4G mode, the following guidelines are suggested:
      • Downlink bandwidth: up to 70 Mbps
      • The 4G LTE fallback will automatically revert back to 5G when it becomes available.

    Note: For a list of compatible third-party devices, click here

    • Obtain a device/SIM compatible with the Verizon Network (note IMEI and ICCID for ordering process).
    4G vs. 5G: What's the difference? +

    Generally, 5G networks perform with higher speeds, greater capacity, lower latency (the time it takes for information to travel between two endpoints and back) and lower jitter (the variation in time it takes for data to travel across the network) than legacy 4G networks but there are tradeoffs. The mid and high frequency bands–used for 5G Business Internet–have lower propagation characteristics so the radio waves don’t travel as far. Conversely, low frequency bands–used for LTE Business Internet–have higher propagation characteristics, so radio waves can travel farther and through obstacles, but at slower speeds. 

    How does Verizon Business Internet position my organization for the future? +

    Quickly and powerfully connect locations as needed

    New branches, campus expansions, temporary locations— organizations often need powerful connectivity on the fly for their newest locations. These locations can use Verizon Business Internet to simplify and speed up connectivity to the internet.

    Digital transformation

    With Verizon Business Internet, you’ll begin your digital transformation journey. As technology evolves, organizations plan to leverage transformative technologies such as edge computing, and utilize Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and devices in new ways, potentially achieving both scale and efficiency beyond what was currently possible, potentially even realizing new organizational models.

    Your one partner for connectivity

    We have a broad range of solutions and partnerships in place designed specifically to bring inherent benefit to our customers that choose to trust us with their business, which is why so many successful Fortune 500 companies and public sector organizations partner with Verizon.

    Does my Local Area Network (LAN) configuration impact the service? +

    You are responsible for your LAN configuration which should support the bandwidth option you selected for the service and connecting your downstream equipment to the gateway.

    For example, if the devices and their applications residing within the LAN are set for lower bandwidth than what was purchased for your Business Internet speed tier, they will perform at that specific speed and not the speed tier purchased for the Business Internet. 

    Services and/or features are not available in all countries/locations, and may be procured from in-country providers in select countries. We continue to expand our service availability around the world. Please consult your Verizon representative for service availability. Contact us.
