A 5G standalone (SA) network uses a 5G core and is specifically designed for 5G service. Some other networks were designed for 4G and have 5G capabilities to bring 5G service to market more quickly. 5G SA service offers ultra-low latency, greater capacity, faster speeds and more reliable and secure service.

T-Mobile announced today that it has achieved 5G data download speeds on its SA network in excess of 4.3 Gbps using eight aggregated channels of high-band mmWave spectrum without requiring low- or mid-band signals to anchor the connection. Four channels of aggregated mmWave spectrum were used to provide data download speeds in excess of 420 Mbps.

TMobile worked with Ericsson and Qualcomm on the test and although mmWave spectrum can provide the fastest 5G data speeds thanks to its huge capacity, these signals do not travel long distances and are easily blocked by obstacles. That's why it used its layered approach that covers the country with low-band 5G and delivers fast data speeds with mid- and high-band Ultra Capacity service.

T-Mobile achieved 5G SA data download speeds above 4.3 Gbps by aggregating eight channels of mmWave spectrum. In testing, T-Mobile delivers 5G data download speeds of over 4.3 Gbps.

TMobile is working with mmWave on 5G standalone for use in crowded stadiums and arenas, and eventually for fixed wireless service. But thanks to the acquisition of Sprint, TMobile was able to acquire the 2.5 GHz mid-band airwaves that Sprint was sitting on. TMobile has used the spectrum to help expand its 5G mobile network, allowing the operator to offer fast 5G service to more of its customers than its competitors who have begun developing their 5G services using mmWave signals with a limited scope.

TMobile's 5G network currently covers more than 330 million people across two million square miles. 300 million people nationwide are covered by T-Mobile's faster Ultra Capacity 5G technology. Ulf Ewaldsson, President of Technology at TMobilesaid: “We have been industry leaders – deploying the first, largest and fastest 5G standalone network across the country – and now we continue to push the boundaries of wireless technology. »

Ewaldsson also said: “We've always said we would use millimeter waves where it makes sense, and this test allows us to see how the spectrum can be used in different situations, like crowded venues or to power devices like fixed wireless systems. access when combined with standalone 5G.
