Verizon is looking to implement a fiber alternative to scale 5G deployments Verizon is considering Integrated Access Backhaul (IAB) technology as a way to deliver 5G service to areas where it's prohibitively expensive to run fiber cabling.
IAB will allow the telecom to link a tower that has fiber running to it with another tower that doesn't via a wireless connection – enabling Verizon to expand its 5G footprint to areas that are harder to reach using fiber optic cabling.
Reducing fiber costs through the use of IAB will help Verizon increase the speed and scale of its 5G deployment.
