Already Nationwide, T-Mobile Supercharges 5G Speeds for Millions More People in Over 80 New Cities & Towns

What’s the news: The Un-carrier has started lighting up
its optimal mid-band 5G spectrum (2.5 GHz), giving customers up to
gigabit-per-second peak 5G speeds in more than 80 new cities and
towns … with thousands more coming this year.
Why it matters: Mid-band is *the* 5G spectrum, and
T-Mobile has more of it than anyone in the US. As part of its plan
to blanket America with broad and deep 5G, the Un-carrier is
lighting up this ideal 5G spectrum at an aggressive pace, giving
customers average speeds 7.5X faster than LTE today. And this is
just the beginning as T-Mobile commits even more mid-band spectrum
to 5G this year and next.
Who it’s for: Wireless customers who want an amazing 5G
experience with the largest 5G network.
5G you can find 0.4% of the time is like a racecar that can’t
leave your driveway. T-Mobile’s 5G is the perfect blend of coverage
and speed. After launching nationwide 5G last year, T-Mobile
(NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced that supercharged mid-band 5G is
live for millions more people in parts of 81 new cities and towns
across the country, delivering peak download speeds of up to 1 Gbps
and average speeds of around 300 Mbps … that’s 7.5x faster than
today’s average LTE speeds. With today’s announcement, this
supercharged 5G experience is live in nearly 90 cities and towns,
and the Un-carrier plans to continue lighting up this optimal 5G
spectrum at an aggressive pace, reaching thousands more by end of
year. And that isn’t just big cities, rural and suburban
communities across the country will get to enjoy the benefits of
this faster 5G experience too.
“T-Mobile has the competition in the rear-view mirror on 5G, and
they’re only getting farther behind. While the other guys are
playing catch-up, we’ve had nationwide 5G since last year, and
we’re now adding faster speeds across the country with mid-band
5G,” said Neville Ray, President of Technology at T-Mobile. “This
is our 5G strategy in action. Mid-band is *the* 5G spectrum, and
T-Mobile has more of it than anyone. We have nearly twice as much
low and mid-band spectrum as AT&T and nearly triple that of
Verizon. And that means T-Mobile is the only one capable of making
the world’s best 5G network a reality.”
T-Mobile has the first and largest nationwide 5G network,
covering over 250 million people across 1.3 million square miles –
that’s bigger than AT&T and Verizon’s 5G networks combined.
Now, with its supply of ideal mid-band 5G spectrum (2.5 GHz), the
Un-carrier is building on that nationwide 5G foundation, increasing
capacity and boosting speeds for millions of customers. In many
places, mid-band 5G average download speeds are already around 300
Mbps with peak speeds approaching 1 Gbps. T-Mobile’s 2.5 GHz 5G
delivers blazing fast speeds and expansive coverage with signals
that go through walls, windows and trees, unlike 5G networks
limited by mmWave spectrum. Each mid-band 2.5 GHz 5G site can cover
tens of thousands of times the area that one mmWave site can cover,
and can also penetrate obstructions (like walls).
In April following its merger with Sprint, T-Mobile quickly lit
up mid-band 5G in Philadelphia and New York City, with Atlanta,
Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and Washington D.C. launching
soon after. The Un-carrier is continuing to move at lightning speed
to bring the companies’ networks together and deliver faster 5G to
people all across the U.S. Engineering teams are on track to light
up 1,000 sites per month with 2.5 GHz 5G, and by the end of the
year, customers will find mid-band 5G in thousands of cities and
towns across the country. And this is only the beginning. T-Mobile
is continuing to commit more mid-band spectrum to these 5G sites,
which means 2.5 GHz speeds and capacity will continue to improve
for customers over the coming months and years.
