As of June 14, DISH is offering 5G broadband service to over 20 percent of the U.S. population.
“This is a big moment for DISH as we connect customers across the country with America’s first and only cloud-native Open RAN network,” said Dave Mayo, executive vice president of network development, DISH Wireless. “This milestone was achieved through the collaboration, ingenuity and hard work of the DISH team and our numerous partners, including AWS, Cisco, CommScope, Dell, Fujitsu, Intel, JMA, Mavenir, Nokia, Oracle, Palo Alto, Qualcomm, Samsung and VMware. We’re the only major network in the world built primarily with American vendors.”
