Boost Mobile Network experienced speeds up to
1 Gbps with nationwide 4x downlink and 2x uplink carrier
aggregation
LITTLETON, Colo., June 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ --
What? Boost rolled out
nationwide1 simultaneous four-carrier
aggregation downlink and two-carrier aggregation uplink,
supercharging speeds for customers with compatible handsets across
the Boost Mobile Network.
Why? 5G delivers greater performance with faster speeds
and lower latency (quicker response time) than previous wireless
network generations. Plus, the added benefit of carrier aggregation
allows the Boost Mobile Network to offer customers more speed and
even more capacity nationwide. This means customers can receive and
send more data faster.
Who Benefits? Boost customers across the country with a
compatible device, like the Samsung Galaxy S24 family.
Boost has commercially launched simultaneous four-carrier (4CC)
downlink and two-carrier (2CC) uplink aggregation on
the Boost Mobile Network, offering the capability of
lightning fast download and upload speeds to Boost customers, with
a compatible device.2 In recent tests,
peak speeds have reached up to 1
Gbps.3
"As the first network operator to commercially launch
simultaneous 2x uplink and 4x downlink carrier aggregation, Boost
continues to push the boundaries of network technology," said
Eben Albertyn, EVP and chief
technology officer of the Boost Mobile Network. "We pride ourselves
in supporting our Boost subscribers with the most advanced wireless
technology available, offering an enhanced customer experience with
increased speeds."
Carrier aggregation allows Boost to combine more spectrum
channels (or carriers) than ever before to deliver greater speeds
and performance. Boost merged 100 MHz of spectrum across four
spectrum channels, meaning Boost took four data highways and put
them together into a massive superhighway where more traffic can
move faster than before. Customers with a device from the Samsung
Galaxy S24 family will be the first to experience simultaneous 4CC
uplink and 2CC downlink with more devices to follow.
Customers who want to experience the lightning fast exchange of
data with the Boost Mobile Network's recently launched 4CC uplink
and 2CC downlink technology can head to BoostMobile.com or
BoostInfinite.com to purchase a compatible device, like the
Samsung Galaxy S24.
Four-carrier aggregation downlink and two-carrier aggregation
uplink are just the latest in a number of network milestones Boost
has achieved over the last year. Most recently it was announced the
Boost Mobile Network offers 5G Voice or VoNR (Voice over New Radio)
to more than 200 million Americans nationwide, the first and
largest commercial deployment of this technology to date and 5G
broadband service to over 240 million Americans.
