T-Mobile Rolls Out of Four-Carrier Aggregation to Boost 5G SA Speeds

T-Mobile has announced the rollout out of four-carrier aggregation on its 5G standalone network, delivering peak speeds topping 3.3 Gbps. Four-carrier aggregation is live in parts of T-Mobile's network now and will be available nationwide in the coming weeks.

5G carrier aggregation allows T-Mobile to combine multiple 5G channels (or carriers) to deliver greater speed and performance. The Un-carrier is now merging four 5G channels of sub-6 GHz spectrum – two channels of 2.5 GHz Ultra Capacity 5G, one channel of 1900 MHz and one channel of 600 MHz spectrum. That's like taking four separate highways and turning them into a massive superhighway where traffic can zoom faster than before. Customers with the Samsung Galaxy S23 will be the first to experience four-carrier aggregation with more devices to follow.

"T-Mobile is blazing the trail for wireless customers around the globe, delivering new capabilities that unleash the true potential of 5G," said Ulf Ewaldsson, President of Technology at T-Mobile. "With the only nationwide 5G standalone network in the country, T-Mobile is the ONLY provider bringing game-changing technologies like four-carrier aggregation to customers across the country."


Although four-carrier aggregation is not available for iPhone just yet, users on iOS 16.4 or higher can get 5G SA with speeds up to 3 Gbps.
