T-Mobile has announced that will begin to rollout its next generation 5G network in 2019. The company plans to use a portion of its recently acquired low-band 600 MHz spectrum to deliver 5G coast to coast.
T-Mobile’s 600 MHz 5G network will deliver increased radio efficiency, immense numbers of connected devices, lower latency and improved battery life and reliability, all of which Mobile 5G will make possible. T-Mobile expects to deploy 5G in its low-band 600 MHz spectrum quickly across its existing nationwide macro network, in contrast with the carriers’ millimeter wave spectrum plans, which would require a number of small cells so massive that providing broad coverage would be impossible.
“The 600 MHz spectrum will allow 5G to be deployed nationwide, bringing the ultimate experiences to T-Mobile’s enterprise customers and consumers throughout the United States,” said Borje Ekholm, President and CEO, Ericsson. “We will support T-Mobile US with 5G radio development for this spectrum. Commercial availability of the product will be aligned with 3GPP standardization and ecosystem support.”
T-Mobile also noted that its 5G network will enable high bandwidth and massive throughput in urban areas using a combination of mid-band and millimeter wave spectrum. The network is targeted for full nationwide coverage in 2020.
