Verizon Wireless says it is aiming to wind down its 2G CDMA 1x network by the end of December 2019. Approximately 92% of Verizon's wireless traffic travels over LTE now. Those still using the 1x network are mostly legacy machine-to-machine and other business customers who only need occasional network access to deliver small amounts of data, such as remote water meters. Verizon is working with those customers to transition them over to LTE, though it won't abandon them. The December 2019 shutoff is more of a guideline than a hard kill date. Once the 1x shutoff is complete, Verizon will refarm the spectrum for LTE.
