Verizon Business and the Norfolk International Terminal (NIT) announced an agreement to build a Verizon Private 5G Network at their Virginia facility, following the successful deployment of Verizon Private 5G at the neighboring Virginia International Terminal (VIT). Both NIT and VIT are terminals within the Port of Virginia, highlighting the scalability of private 5G networks to meet unique connectivity demands throughout a complex, data-rich environment.

The Private 5G Network will cover 270 acres of the NIT campus with dedicated Ultra Wideband spectrum, replacing spotty outdoor WiFi and enabling secure, instant voice, text and data communication within the campus through Verizon Push to Talk Plus (PTT). PTT is a mobile app ideal for industrial and commercial worksite collaboration across phones, smartphones and tablets, all through the Verizon private Network.
