Verizon has signed a major agreement with Array Digital Infrastructure, gaining access to 4,400 tower sites across the U.S. The move is aimed at expanding and enhancing Verizon’s 5G network, particularly in underserved and rural areas, while streamlining tower operations for cost efficiency.
Under the multi‑year partnership, Verizon will be able to collocate its equipment on Array’s nationwide tower portfolio, accelerating deployment of advanced wireless technologies without the time and expense of building new sites. The deal also provides long‑term pricing stability, allowing Verizon to optimize its network investments over time.
Verizon’s Vice President of Engineering, Phillip French, called the agreement a key part of the company’s network strategy, emphasizing flexibility and efficiency in managing tower assets. Array Digital Infrastructure sees the partnership as a growth opportunity, reinforcing its position as a leading U.S. tower operator.
Analysts expect the deal to help Verizon strengthen 5G coverage and competitiveness, particularly as rivals like T‑Mobile continue to expand their mid‑band and rural 5G networks. The partnership reflects a broader industry trend of leveraging existing infrastructure to accelerate network upgrades while managing costs effectively.
