DALLAS, June 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T's* 5G
network is now live for consumers in 28 additional markets across
the country and covers more than 160 million people. With today's
launch, AT&T now offers access to 5G on its best unlimited
wireless plans for consumers and businesses in a total of 355
markets in the U.S.2
In parts of some markets, AT&T has enabled dynamic spectrum
sharing (DSS) technology which allows carriers to share the same
channel between both 4G and 5G users simultaneously, based on
demand, creating a seamless experience for customers. Through
DSS, AT&T can deploy 5G faster and more efficiently to help
more customers take advantage of 5G technology, sooner. This
technology helps create an intelligent and robust network for
customers.
"DSS is an important steppingstone on our path to nationwide
5G," said Igal Elbaz, SVP of
wireless and access technology. "We were the first U.S. carrier to
deploy this technology in our network, and it's now playing an
important role as we work toward a nationwide 5G footprint this
summer."
