The Verizon 5G Network Extender for Enterprise is Verizon’s newest enterprise small cell, alongside the Network Extender 3 for Enterprise. This next-generation model adds 5G NR support, increased performance, and expanded integration options - making it the most capable Verizon indoor coverage solution available.

Designed for enterprise environments that rely on Verizon service, the extender eliminates indoor dead zones by broadcasting a dedicated 5G NR and 4G LTE signal inside your facility. It ensures consistent voice, text, and data performance where the outdoor macro network struggles to penetrate.

Features

• Reliable 5G NR & LTE Coverage Indoors: Eliminates weak signal and dead zones by generating a fresh, high-quality Verizon 5G and LTE signal throughout your building.
• Enterprise Capacity: Supports up to 64 active users and 300 idle users per device, suitable for corporate offices, schools, hospitals, and industrial environments.
• Scalable Architecture: Covers 10,000 sq ft with internal antennas per device, and can be clustered with multiple units, or integrated into a DAS via 2.2-5 ports
  for up to 75,000+ sq ft of contiguous coverage.
• Advanced RF & Management Features: 2x2 MIMO, LAA support, external antenna ports, PoE++ capability, and a local admin interface for on-site control.
• Carrier-Approved & Secure: Uses a fully encrypted IPSec tunnel to Verizon’s core network for enterprise-grade security and compliance.

How it works

The Verizon 5G Network Extender acts as a localized indoor cell tower. It connects through your internet connection and recreates Verizon’s network inside your building.

1. Secure, Encrypted Backhaul
   Uses an IPSec tunnel over your existing internet connection to securely link to Verizon’s network.
2. Broadcasts 5G + LTE Indoors
   Generates a dedicated 5G NR and 4G LTE signal, eliminating dead zones and improving voice & data quality.
3. Seamless Handover
   Devices automatically hand off between the outdoor macro network and the extender with no dropped calls.
4. DAS & External Antenna Integration
   Four 2.2-5 antenna ports allow connection to external antennas or a DAS platform, expanding coverage up to 75,000 sq ft.

System Requirements

To use the Verizon 5G Network Extender for Enterprise, the following requirements must be met:

1. Internet Connection
   Minimum 20 Mbps download / 10 Mbps upload speeds (50 Mbps / 20 Mbps recommended for optimal 5G NR and LTE performance. The extender does not require a dedicated connection, as peak utilization is rare.
2. Location
   The Verizon 5G Network Extender works in all 50 states and most areas of the United States, except for specific counties. Check the coverage compatibility list before purchasing. Note that the device is not functional outside the United States
3. GPS Connectivity
   Requires a clear GPS signal for accurate timing and location. The included magnetic mount GPS antenna must be placed near a window with an unobstructed sky view. Outdoor antennas can also be used for better signal strength.
4. Verizon Enterprise Account
   A Verizon Enterprise or Business account is necessary to activate the device. If you don’t have one, select “Registered by Waveform” at checkout, and we’ll handle the registration for you.
   
5. Compatible Devices
   Works with HD Voice (VoLTE) devices, including all iPhone 6 and newer and Samsung Galaxy S5 and later. Most Verizon-certified smartphones and IoT devices released in the last 5–7 years.
   
6. Firewall Configuration
   If installed on a corporate or restricted network, the following ports must be opened to allow communication with Verizon: Ports 50, 500, 4500, 53, and 52428. Alternatively, the extender can be placed in a Demilitarized Zone for seamless operation.

If your building doesn’t meet these requirements or you need multi-carrier coverage, consider one of our cell signal boosters instead.

The Verizon 5G Network Extender for Enterprise must be linked to a Verizon Enterprise account.

Registered by Waveform: We handle registration, provide remote monitoring, and act as your support liaison.

Unregistered: If you already manage your own Enterprise account, you can self-register; Note that this limits our insight into your device and our ability to provide comprehensive support.

Optional Accessories

PCTEL GPS Antenna with Integrated Lightning Protection
If your device is far from a window or in an area with Low-E windows, we recommend an outdoor GPS antenna for optimal signal strength. The PCTel GPS antenna doesn't include any mounting hardware, so this mount kit will take care of that for you.

To integrate an external GPS antenna with your Verizon 5G Network Extender, we recommend the following accessories:

• Lightning Surge Protector
  Protect your device from power surges with an optional surge protector installed between the GPS antenna and the extender.
  
• Waveform RS400 Coaxial Cable
  You’ll need two lengths of cable - one to connect the GPS antenna to the surge protector and another to connect the surge protector to the extender.
• Waveform SMA-Male to N-Female Pigtail Adapter
  This adapter is required to interface the N-Type connectors on the GPS antenna and coaxial cables, with the GPS port on the Verizon 5G Network Extender.

Custom Kit Configuration

While the Verizon 5G Network Extender for Enterprise functions effectively as a standalone solution, it truly shines when integrated into a larger Distributed Antenna System (DAS) or a comprehensive in-building coverage solution.

Designed with scalability in mind, the extender’s 2.2-5 ports allow seamless connectivity to external antennas or a DAS, enabling tailored coverage for facilities of any size or layout.
