Verizon’s Commitment to New York City
Verizon invested nearly $4.6 billion dollars in the state of New
York in 2021. That investment resulted in new macro cell sites,
small cell sites and cellular repeaters which added coverage and
capacity to the network and is helping to manage the
ever-increasing data usage from NY customers. That capital
investment along with Verizon’s 2022 investment fueled the
deployment of 5G Ultra Wideband across NY including in Long Island,
NYC, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, and the greater Buffalo area.
Verizon's 5G service also enhances the customer experience in
sports and entertainment venues in NY including CitiField, MSG, the
Bills Stadium, The National Tennis Center and many more. In
addition to deploying 5G Ultra Wideband, network investment was
used to increase capacity and coverage on Verizon’s 4G network
which will continue to support customers’ use long into the future.
Additionally, Verizon's investment fueled growth of FIOS service in
all five boroughs in NYC, Long Island and in Upstate NY, and led to
increased 2 gigabit upload and download speeds for customers in
NYC.
Over the last decade, working through nonprofit partners and a
suite of programs and resources, Verizon Innovative Learning has
committed $1 billion in market value to support digital equity and
inclusion within education for some of the most vulnerable
populations across the country. The initiative is celebrating 10
years of providing free technology, internet access and resources
to schools and educators across America, including Title I
schools.
In New York City, over 26,000 students have been reached across
29 schools through the Verizon Innovative Learning Schools program.
This academic year, the program has welcomed over 3,500 new
students in the NYC Department of Education school district.
Additionally, all educators and students have access to Verizon
Innovative Learning HQ, our free next-gen online education portal
that provides XR content, professional development, and lesson
plans. These efforts are part of Citizen Verizon, the company’s
responsible business plan for economic, environmental and social
advancement. Through Citizen Verizon, the company has a goal to
provide 10 million youths with digital skills training by 2030.
Verizon realizes the importance of technology in helping small
businesses succeed, which is why the company has a goal to support
1M small businesses by 2030. Verizon Small Business Digital Ready,
a free online curriculum, was designed to give small businesses the
tools they need to thrive in today’s digital economy, including
access to personalized lesson plans, coaching from experts and
networking opportunities with diverse, industry-specific
businesses. Since its launch in September 2021, more than 6,000 New
York-based businesses have been onboarded to the program.
Supporting first responders who serve New
YorkDuring 2021, the Verizon Frontline Crisis Response
Team deployed multiple times in support of public safety agencies
in New York to provide mission-critical communications capabilities
to the first responders on the front lines of emergency response
operations. Verizon Frontline devices and solutions ranging from
mobile hotspots, routers, smart devices and drones, to deployable
satellite solutions, such as Satellite Picocells on Trailers
(SPOTs), were deployed in support of New York first responders.
This support has continued during 2022, as the Verizon Frontline
Crisis Response Team has already participated in several public
safety operations and training events alongside New York public
safety agencies. This ongoing support is provided at no cost to
local agencies and represents a continuation of Verizon Frontline’s
commitment to investing and innovating in partnership with public
safety and government.
