What’s the news: Ahead of Super Bowl LIV, T-Mobile amped
its 5G in Miami, adding millimeter wave to its low-band 5G, and
rolled out permanent network improvements across the city to get
ready for the big game.
Why it matters: Nearly 150,000 football fans will come to
Miami ready to share and stream every special moment. Residents and
visitors will benefit from the permanent enhancements long after
the big game ends.
Who it’s for: Everyone who lives in or visits Miami … for
the Super Bowl and beyond.
As pro football gets set to crown its latest champion, T-Mobile
(NASDAQ: TMUS) has put the final touches on its network in Miami to
make sure customers have an incredible mobile experience. Over the
last year, T-Mobile permanently boosted network capacity at venues
throughout Miami so customers can share their game day moments in
real time. T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile customers already have
the biggest 5G network in Miami. And now, customers with capable 5G
smartphones can get a speed boost from millimeter wave 5G in places
like Hard Rock Stadium and Bayfront Park.

“All these network upgrades mean T-Mobile customers in and
around the city can snap, share and stream from the big game with
great coverage and serious speed,” said Neville Ray, President of
Technology at T-Mobile. “And long after the Super Bowl has come and
gone, T-Mobile customers will continue to have the biggest 5G
footprint in Miami and across the rest of America with the ONLY
nationwide 5G network. And we’re just getting started! If the
merger with Sprint is approved, we’ll build on this 5G foundation
to deliver transformational broad and deep 5G for all.”
With 150,000 people predicted to travel to Miami for Super Bowl
LIV events, T-Mobile focused network enhancements where the biggest
crowds will be, including Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Beach Convention
Center, Bayfront Park, Miami Beach and Miami and Fort Lauderdale
airports. And almost all the updates are permanent, so Miami
residents and visitors can enjoy the improvements long after the
Super Bowl is over.
T-Mobile more than doubled LTE capacity at Hard Rock Stadium so
customers can stream, tweet, post and chat about every big moment
from the game. To enhance indoor capacity at key venues throughout
Miami, T-Mobile built new distributed antenna systems (DAS) and
deployed small cells throughout the city to provide additional
performance boosts in places that can be difficult for towers to
reach.
Almost all of Miami is covered with T-Mobile’s far reaching
low-band 5G and fast LTE, so whether customers watch the game from
the couch or the beach they’ll be ready to share the action. In
addition to launching broad 5G coverage last month, T-Mobile has
newly deployed millimeter wave 5G for customers with capable
smartphones in parts of Miami, including nearly all of Bayfront
Park and at Hard Rock Stadium in the lower bowl, parking lot and
main entrances.
To ensure customers with compatible smartphones know where they
can access 5G in Miami, T-Mobile has an interactive map of its
nationwide low-band 5G to show where coverage is available down to
the neighborhood level and created new millimeter wave maps for the
city.
Only T-Mobile has a nationwide 5G network that works for more
people in more places. The Un-carrier’s 5G network covers more than
1 million square miles, with much of that in rural America. This
foundational layer of 5G provides far reaching coverage that can
travel into buildings and work indoors and out. And now, the
Un-carrier has millimeter wave 5G deployed in parts of seven cities
for speedy, hotspot-like coverage outdoors in dense urban
areas.
If T-Mobile’s merger with Sprint closes, the New T-Mobile will
have the ability to build on this foundation by adding critical
mid-band spectrum for far reaching coverage and performance as well
as additional millimeter wave spectrum for blazing fast speeds in
dense urban areas. Only this combination of low, mid and high
spectrum will deliver a 5G network with both coverage breadth and
depth of performance. T-Mobile expects devices capable of tapping
into low, mid and high band spectrum to become available this year
and expects to launch more than 15 new 5G smartphones in 2020 with
a variety of price points and features.
