BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Dec. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- 2017 was a tremendous year for innovation and technology advancement on Verizon's network. We continued leading the industry in reliability, coverage and speed, and made significant strides toward the network of the future for our customers, investing in the latest technologies and software platforms, and pushing boundaries in both 4G LTE Advanced features and 5G technology. Here are some highlights.
4G LTE Advanced industry firsts for customers
4G LTE Advanced features provide increased capacity and even faster speeds for consumers, taking advantage of many new technological advancements to use our network assets more efficiently and harness unlicensed spectrum. Many of these enhancements are also foundational stepping stones on the way to 5G and provide tangible benefits today while laying the groundwork for our next generation network.
In 2017, we built on our rich history of industry breakthroughs with some "new firsts":
Pioneering 5G
Along with our ecosystem partners, we continued to explore the possibilities of future of 5G technology trials and use cases. The technology will unleash amazing capabilities and innovation through massive bandwidth and gigabit speeds, even lower latency – response time in the blink of an eye – and scalability in the billions of IOT devices.
Accelerated densification
We are the national leader in network densification – increasing network capacity through the deployment of additional fiber backhaul, small cells, distributed antenna systems (DAS) and numerous in-building solutions.
There when it really matters most … with leading edge technology for emergency first responders, consumers
Our engineers prepare year-round to ensure the nation's most reliable network stays strong in the face of storms, earthquakes, wildfires and anything else – keeping people connected when they need it most.

Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria devastated communities throughout the South and Puerto Rico, and wildfires destroyed record amounts of land in northern and southern California.
We provide the cutting-edge technology public safety officials and first responders use every day, and we're right there beside them during times of crisis.
Third party accolades continue to add up
We engineer our network for our customers, not to win accolades, but third-party awards continue to recognize our industry leadership.
Special Events
We were there for our customers at major events, providing the connection attendees needed to share their special moments.
"Even by our own high standards, 2017 has been an incredible year for our network and team. We deliver predictable excellence for our customers, which means the most 4G LTE coverage, unrivaled reliability and the consistently fast speeds our customers need," said Nicola Palmer, Chief Network Engineer and Head of Wireless Networks, Verizon. "In 2018, you won't see us settle for anything less than extension of the industry leadership and technological innovation we're known for, being the first to deliver what's next for our customers, partners and the public safety community."
Looking ahead, Verizon plans to continue to focus on innovation, investing in the latest technology and deploying its Intelligent Edge Network, which combines dense fiber, software defined networking (SDN) and high-capacity spectrum.
