T-Mobile is rolling out one of the biggest ever improvements to its 5G network right now،
Remember when T-Mobile was announcing major 5G developments, expansions, breakthroughs and innovations virtually every few weeks, every few years or so? While those days are (largely) gone for pretty good reason, given that Magenta's cutting-edge network has clearly reached a point of relative maturity much sooner than many industry experts probably anticipated, it remains still a small margin for improvement mainly across the country.
That's all the Un-carrier needs to further widen the 5G speed and availability gap against its main rivals, which is expected to happen “over the coming days” thanks to a set of spectra purchased at auction from the beginning. 2022.
What took T-Mo so long?
For political reasons, the country's second largest wireless provider (by number of subscribers) did not initially have access to the 2.5 GHz spectrum licenses for which it spent more than $300 million. dollars, and had to resort to various legal actions and lobbying to finally get its money from the 5G airwaves.
Despite opposition from the competition, this has clearly happened, and while no one can give T Mobile it's time wasted, everything is fine when it ends well. This happy ending to a decidedly unusual spectrum saga means that “tens of millions” of people stand to benefit from “immediate” improvements in their phone's performance, at least according to the mobile network operator that is already widely regarded as the American speed champion.
Believe it or not, these nationally high speed scores reported by research and analytics companies like Ookla, Rootmetrics, and Opensignal are almost guaranteed to increase in future tests, and more importantly, real ones. Real-world users will probably notice this. big upgrades in just a few days.
Where is T-Mobile's 2.5 GHz spectrum deployed?
This, dear readers and friends, is the best part of this announcement. As incredible as it may seem, what T Mobile paid a bargain price of $304 million in 2022 covers not only every U.S. state but “nearly every county” in the country.
This obviously doesn't mean that everyone will have access to new spectrum and thus be able to enjoy faster 5G download speeds everywhere and at the same time, but T-Mo says there's “a good chance you'll get a 5G boost where you travel, work or play” no matter where you live.
Of course, this will help if you frequently “travel, work, or play” in a rural area, which is the main goal of this huge new Ultra Capacity 5G network expansion. It's even better if you live in a state like Louisiana, where the benefits of the latest spectrum deployments will be felt in as many as 92% of all counties, or in Pennsylvania, where T MobileGoogle's additional 5G capacity is expected to improve the network experience for “more than” 1.7 million people, including half a million rural residents.
In total, Magenta has implemented all the designs necessary to deliver major performance improvements to nearly 60 million customers across nearly 300,000 square miles nationwide “over the next few days,” which are two mind-blowing figures that clearly speak louder than all the others. words contained in the company's press release and our own short article here.
And then there are about 20 million more people who will benefit from significant 5G speed increases down the road. T Mobile must build new towers to accommodate cutting-edge 2.5 GHz technology in many locations. This is how a market leader and industry pioneer works!
