Verizon Business announced two new next-generation business devices, including the Verizon Business Internet Gateway -- its first Wi-Fi 7-compatible business internet gateway device for fixed wireless access (FWA) for C-Band -- as well as the tri-band 5G Business Receiver supporting 5G mmWave, C-Band, and 4G LTE. A formidable duo, the business internet gateway and 5G business receiver together can significantly improve the business customer experience with advanced specs and intuitive design.
Fi 7 compatibility incorporates the advantages of the latest wireless standard, including more bandwidth, accelerated connectivity, greater reliability, responsiveness that approaches wired connectivity, and robust security and privacy.
Fi 7 compatibility, the Business Internet Gateway will offer support for private networks, NSA and SA, network slicing and more. Other features include the following:
DL 4x4 MIMO for all LTE & NR Bands
4 Carrier Aggregation Supported on NR Bands to support higher DL throughput
4 SMA Ports for External Antennas
2.5Gbps WAN Port
Accessories ecosystem including battery backup, wall mount and external antenna mounting hardware
Verizon Business also rolled out its 5G Business Receiver, which offers tri-band support for 5G mmW, C-Band and LTE CAT21. The receiver, supporting both indoor and outdoor applications, optimizes for the best coverage by utilizing a smart antenna design that automatically and seamlessly toggles between Verizon networks.
Last year, Verizon announced access to its total amount of C-Band spectrum, a mid-band spectrum that offers a transformative mix of performance and coverage, offering significantly broader range and penetration than high-band spectrum and speeds significantly greater than low-band 5G.

Verizon Business Internet Gateway’s Wi-Fi 7 compatibility is a major development for the industry, but this device’s broader strength is its ability to provide faster, more stable service for our business customers. We designed the router with external antenna support for added flexibility in challenging signal locations in buildings. In addition there is a robust accessory ecosystem including a battery backup for power outage situations.
