Verizon is partnering with Boingo Wireless to leverage their expertise with distributed antenna systems, small cells, and Wi-Fi to expand 5G service indoors and in public spaces like airports. The companies are working on a "hyper-dense network" for indoor spaces. Verizon also sold Tumblr to Automattic two years after acquiring the social network, sued a city to avoid 5G fees, and inked a contract with Massachusetts to provide multi-vendor public safety services using its private wireless network.
