What’s the news: T-Mobile lit up a
supercharged 5G experience in another 121 cities and towns with
mid-band 5G, delivering up to gigabit-per-second peak speeds and
average download speeds around 300 megabits-per-second for capable
5G devices. And, this faster 5G experience will be in thousands of
cities and towns by end of year. To celebrate, T-Mobile is giving
away $100,000 on Twitter over the next several months, with
#5Gsfor5G.
Why it matters: Mid-band spectrum
provides the ideal balance of coverage and speed, and the
Un-carrier has more mid-band spectrum than anyone else in the U.S.
T-Mobile is rapidly lighting up 2.5 GHz mid-band spectrum, bringing
customers in those areas average speeds that are 7.5x faster than
LTE today.
Who it’s for: Wireless customers who
want an amazing 5G experience on America’s largest 5G network.
Better, faster, stronger … the Un-carrier’s 5G rollout continues
to run circles around AT&T and Verizon’s. Yep, T-Mobile
(NASDAQ: TMUS) is back at it again, supercharging 5G with mid-band
in another 121 cities and towns, adding capacity and more blazing
fast speeds to the country’s largest nationwide 5G network. To
celebrate, T-Mobile is giving fans a chance to win five Gs ($5,000)
in the #5Gsfor5G sweepstakes and will give away $100,000 in total
over the next several months.
The Un-carrier’s mid-band (2.5 GHz) 5G is the very best kind of
5G, delivering both broad coverage and super-fast speeds averaging
around 300 Mbps — that’s 7.5x faster than LTE today — with peaks of
up to 1 gigabit-per-second. With today’s announcement, this
supercharged 5G experience is live in a total of 210 cities and
towns across the country with thousands more on the way by end of
year.
“The Un-carrier already has America’s largest 5G network, and
it’s only getting bigger, better and faster by the day thanks to
the mid-band spectrum we’re rolling out across the country,” said
Neville Ray, President of Technology at T-Mobile. “It would be easy
to deliver fast speeds that are only available less than 1% of the
time, like Verizon, but T-Mobile’s strategy is different. With more
low and mid-band spectrum than anyone in the U.S. and dedicated
airwaves for 5G, only T-Mobile is delivering 5G with both coverage
and speed.”
T-Mobile is making it rain, 5G style. Over the next several
months, T-Mobile is giving away $100,000 in its #5Gsfor5G
sweepstakes on Twitter. @TMobile will give away $5,000 (five G’s!)
to five lucky fans during each giveaway over the next several
months. The first opportunity to win kicks off tomorrow, September
30 at 10am PT on @TMobile. To enter, fans must tag @TMobile and use
#5Gsfor5G and #Contest.
More Towers, More Spectrum, More Better
T-Mobile isn’t just lighting up mid-band in new cities, it’s
also strengthening the places that already have it deployed by
lighting up more towers and spectrum. In New York City, one of the
first places to get mid-band 5G (2.5 GHz) from the Un-carrier,
T-Mobile has already added 10x more mid-band sites since May. The
additional sites added 25x more mid-band 5G coverage and 10x more
mid-band capacity than before. Now, customers in all five boroughs
of NYC can access this faster 5G experience. And this is only the
beginning. T-Mobile is continuing to commit more mid-band spectrum
to its 5G sites across the country, which means 2.5 GHz speeds and
capacity will continue to rapidly improve for customers over the
coming months and years.
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 with even
more speed and capacity. In places where mid-band 5G is deployed,
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 can 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). At T-Mobile, customers with a
5G phone can get broad 5G coverage and blazing fast speed at the
same time. On other carriers, like Verizon, fast 5G speeds come at
the expense of coverage and are only available in small pockets of
a few dozen cites. With mid-band 5G, customers with a 5G phone at
T-Mobile can already experience 5G’s benefits — both coverage and
speed at the same time — in so many more places across the country
than Verizon customers.
While Verizon and AT&T finally acknowledged the need for low
and mid-band spectrum for 5G coverage, they don’t have clear
spectrum like T-Mobile does. T-Mobile is the only one building 5G
with clear, dedicated spectrum across low, mid and high bands. And
that’s important because 5G devices will use a lot of capacity.
Verizon and AT&T’s path to broadening 5G is to steal bandwidth
away from other smartphone customers through Dynamic Spectrum
Sharing (DSS). The other guys will split their low and mid-band
spectrum between 4G and 5G, effectively sharing lanes from their
current 4G smartphone highway. Meanwhile, T-Mobile is adding 5G
lanes to its network with our dedicated low-band 600 MHz spectrum
and mid-band 2.5 GHz from Sprint. While Verizon bet (wrong) on
super-fast but super-limited mmWave spectrum for 5G, T-Mobile
always believed 5G would live in all spectrum bands with its “layer
cake” multi-band strategy.
Following the close of the merger with Sprint, the Un-carrier is
continuing to move at a furious pace to bring the companies’
networks together and deliver faster 5G than before to customers
all across the U.S. — from big cities to rural communities.
T-Mobile is lighting up 1,000 mid-band 5G sites a month, so
customers will find this faster 5G experience in thousands of
cities and towns by end of year.
