Walmart wants Verizon 5G network to support in-store health hubs
Walmart reportedly plans to offer in-store digital health services based on next-generation mobile connectivity.
According to Pymnts, Walmart is negotiating with Verizon to provide a 5G wireless network that the discount giant would test in two stores to support a digital health offering for both employees and customers. If the pilot were to prove successful, Walmart would roll out the health service to all 4,700 U.S. stores, creating in-store hubs for medical treatment and services.
Walmart has been actively trying to dive more deeply into health care with offerings such as freestanding facilities devoted to health-and-wellness. The retailer recently opened its second Walmart Health location, adjacent to a Walmart Supercenter in Calhoun, Georgia.
