(Reuters) - Dish Network will tap Dell Technologies Inc for key parts of the new 5G network it is building in the United States, the companies said on Thursday.

Dish has committed to U.S. regulators to covering 70% of the country's population with its network by mid-2023 and will launch its first 5G service in Las Vegas, Nevada later this year.
