T-Mobile has increased 5G capacity and coverage Nationwide. The telco now offers services to 260 million customers with Ultra Capacity 5G and 323 million with Extended Range 5G. With this, T-Mobile achieves its mid-band 5G year-end target weeks ahead of schedule and gets closer to its aim of providing Ultra Capacity 5G coverage to 300 million people by the end of 2023.
Deploys Mid-Band Carrier 1900 MHz
T-Mobile is adding more capacity for even faster speeds as its coverage grows. In addition, T-Mobile is boosting its 5G network with a new nationwide layer of 1900 MHz mid-band spectrum.
3 Carrier Aggregation (3CA)
In addition, the telco has started turning on three-carrier aggregation (3CA), which combines three carriers of mid-band 5G spectrum and, in tests, delivered peak speeds topping 3 Gbps on T-Mobile's 5G Standalone Network. Customers using the Samsung Galaxy S22 can experience 3CA in parts of the Network now. The three-carrier aggregation will become available on more devices and spread nationwide in future.
