T-Mobile Lights Up High-speed Mid-band 5G in Over 80 Cities

T-Mobile has lighted up its mid-band 5G spectrum in over 80 cities and towns. Consequently, millions of T-Mobile cellular users tin now access 5G services at gigabit per second (one Gbps) height 5G speeds in these cities and towns.

The Un-carrier is planning to whorl-out loftier-speed mid-band 5G in thousands of towns past the end of this year. T-Mobile has clarified that the company will bring this loftier-speed 5G to rural and suburban communities too.

Concluding year, T-Mobile had launched its nation-broad 5G network. At launch, T-Mobile covers an estimated 250 million customers across ane.iii million square miles. Equally such, T-Mobile's 5G network is bigger than the combined networks of its major competitors, AT&T and Verizon.

T-Mobile is now building on this coverage with the improver of the mid-band 5G spectrum to increment speeds. Unsurprisingly, T-Mobile boasts of property more than quantities of mid-band 5G spectrum than its competition.

In fact, Neville Ray, President of Engineering at T-Mobile clarified that T-Mobile holds about twice as much low and mid-ring spectrum as AT&T. Compared to Verizon, T-Mobile boasts of three times more low and mid-band 5G spectrum holdings.

What is the Mid-band 5G spectrum?

Carriers consider the mid-band 5G spectrum to be the all-time spectrum to offering 5G services with higher speeds and meliorate coverage.

Mid-band 5G spectrum relies on microwaves of 2.v GHz to 3.seven GHz frequency. Mobile service carriers prefer this spectrum as it allows higher speeds and deeper penetration.

Mid-band 5G spectrum currently allows up to gigabit-per-second (1 Gbps) speeds. Likewise, the service expanse under this spectrum's coverage ranges upward to several miles in radius. This spectrum ring as well excels at indoor penetration, which translates to faster indoor 5G speeds.

As tested by T-Mobile, users are receiving around 300 Mbps speeds on this supercharged 5G spectrum. However, the peak speeds are reported to exist around the 900 Mbps to 1 Gbps mark. These speeds are around 7.5 times higher than the average 4G/LTE speeds.

In contrast, mmWave 5G has poor indoor penetration and coverage.

T-Mobile Lights up Mid-Band 5G spectrum afterward Sprint Merger.

Sprint and T-Mobile had officially merged in April this twelvemonth. Later, T-Mobile sped up engineering projects to calorie-free up high-speed mid-band 5G in Philadelphia and New York City.

The Un-carrier so focused on launching mid-ring 5G in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C. The visitor boasts that its engineering teams are rolling out around 1000 sites per month on mid-band 5G.

It is no wonder that T-Mobile is boasting of bringing this loftier-speed mid-band 5G to thousands of cities and towns by the end of this year.
