T-Mobile recently announced it now covers 200 million people with its 'Ultra Capacity' 5G, reaching the milestone weeks ahead of schedule and years ahead of the competition.
T-Mobile claims that its 'Ultra Capacity' 5G, the super-fast, fast-as-home-wifi-speed-with-your-phone 5G now covers 80% its customers. This is all on top of T-Mobile’s Extended Range 5G, which covers 308 million people across 1.7 million square miles.
The secret to T-Mobile’s Ultra Capacity 5G is mid-band 2.5 GHz spectrum. When other U.S. operators went all in on millimeter wave (mmWave), T-Mobile executed a multi-band spectrum strategy using low-band Extended Range to blanket the country and Ultra Capacity to bring fast 5G speeds to the maximum number of people – now covering 200 million with plans to reach 300 million people (more than 90% of Americans) in the next two years.
Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile
Only T-Mobile is delivering a 5G network capable of truly transforming the smartphone experience – 5G’s first killer app – and that’s just the beginning. With Ultra Capacity 5G nationwide, we’re unleashing innovators across the country to build new 5G applications that will change the world.
Neville Ray, President of Technology at T-Mobile
That means an amazing 5G experience for people across the country, whether they’re in a city like New York or one like Helena, Montana. Our Ultra Capacity 5G is delivering just that, and I’m incredibly proud of the T-Mobile team working to deploy this network ahead of schedule for our customers.
