T-Mobile has confirmed the deployment of an iPhone compatible '4G' network inside Moscone West, reports 9to5Mac. The company issued the following statement after reports that customers walking by the Moscone Center were getting 3G connections on their iPhones.
While upgrading coverage inside the West side of the Moscone Center, T-Mobile has also deployed 4G HSPA+ service in the 1900 MHz band to test the live network on a small scale. As part of the company's previously announced $4 billion network modernization effort, T-Mobile plans to launch 4G HSPA+ service in the 1900 MHz band in a large number of markets by the end of the year, which will make our 4G network compatible with a broader range of devices, including the iPhone.
NOTE: The time and location of this test is just coincidental.
In May T-Mobile announced that a network modernization effort would launch 4G HSPA+ service in the 1900 MHz band (iPhone compatible) this year and the deployment of long term evolution (LTE) service in 2013.
