These multi-billion-dollar deals with both
Ericsson and Nokia will continue to supercharge T-Mobile’s
nationwide 5G network
Today, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) announced five-year,
multi-billion-dollar agreements with both Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC)
and Nokia (NYSE: NOK) to continue advancing and expanding the
nation’s largest 5G network. Part of the network investment
following last year’s merger with Sprint, these deals enable
T-Mobile to add even more 5G coverage, capacity, speed and advanced
technical capabilities across all of its spectrum bands.
“T-Mobile already has the largest 5G network in the country,”
said Neville Ray, T-Mobile President of Technology. “These
agreements with our longstanding 5G partners Nokia and Ericsson
will help us take our 5G leadership even further, delivering
ever-better experiences for our customers for years to come.”
Building on two decades of partnership, the Un-carrier will work
with Ericsson and Nokia to expand its nationwide 5G network for
better 5G coverage and future game-changing experiences, and
advanced network capabilities like 5G carrier aggregation. T-Mobile
launched the world’s first nationwide standalone 5G network last
summer, and recently pulled off the world’s first 5G standalone
(SA) data session with New Radio Carrier Aggregation (NR CA).
T-Mobile is the first and only U.S. provider to combine the power
of Extended Range and Ultra Capacity 5G, boosting speed and
performance. T-Mobile also plans to add advanced technical
capabilities like voice over 5G (VoNR), network slicing, and
multi-user massive MIMO to its 5G network.
T-Mobile is already America’s 5G leader with the most advanced
5G network and fast 5G speeds in more places than any other
wireless provider. T-Mobile’s Extended Range 5G now covers 280
million people across nearly 1.6 million square miles — that’s more
than 2.5x the geographic coverage of AT&T and nearly 4x more
than Verizon! And with Sprint now part of T-Mobile, the Un-carrier
is widening its lead, lighting up Ultra Capacity 5G across the
country and bringing fast 5G speeds to more places than anyone
else. Ultra Capacity 5G can deliver average speeds of 300 Mbps with
peaks approaching 1 Gbps and is now available in more than 1,000
cities and towns, covering more than 106 million people! That’s 50x
more than Verizon covers with Ultra-Wideband! And at T-Mobile, 5G
access is included at no extra charge in all smartphone plans.
