T-Mobile Quickly Expanding Mid-band 5G

Sep 2, 2020, 1:33 PM by Rich Brome @rbrome.bsky.social

T-Mobile today announced the launch of 5G in valuable 2.5 GHz mid-band spectrum in 81 "new cities and towns". Many of the new areas are suburbs of the eight major cities already launched: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C.. However some all-new areas include select neighborhoods near Tampa, Boston, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, and Portland (Oregon). T-Mobile says it is adding mid-band 5G to 1,000 cell towers per month, brining the service to "thousands of cities and towns across the country" by the end of the year. The company is also adding more mid-band spectrum to cell towers already enabled with mid-band 5G, for even greater capacity and data speeds. T-Mobile is the only major carrier with significant mid-band spectrum, which offers a good balance of speed and coverage for 5G service, compared to other bands.

Going Places

From what I’ve seen, T-Mobile is heavily invested in investing: expanding their network and utilizing all the resources they have at their disposal. I believe this is what Sprint could’ve been years ago had they followed Nextel’s lead in doing business and creating infrastructure. Better late than never.
