Advanced 5G Network Capabilities
5G delivers greater performance with faster speeds and lower latency (quicker response time) than previous wireless network generations. Additionally, the benefit of carrier aggregation (CA) allows the Boost Mobile network to offer customers more speed and capacity nationwide. This means customers can receive and send more data faster, the company explained.
Enhanced Performance and Speed with Carrier Aggregation
"As the first network operator to commercially launch simultaneous 2x uplink and 4x downlink carrier aggregation, Boost continues to push the boundaries of network technology," said Boost Mobile.
Carrier aggregation allows Boost to combine more spectrum channels (or carriers) to deliver greater speeds and performance. Boost said it merged 100 MHz of spectrum across four spectrum channels, enabling it to handle more traffic.
