T-Mobile announced plans to start a 5G rollout in 2019 and aims to reach full nationwide coverage in 2020. The operator will expand and strengthen its LTE coverage and use a portion of its USD 8 billion mother lode of low-band 600 MHz spectrum to deliver 5G coverage from coast to coast.
On top of its nationwide deployment, T-Mobile 5G will enable high bandwidth and massive throughput in urban areas using a combination of mid-band and millimeter wave spectrum.
T-Mobile expects to deploy 5G in its low-band 600 MHz spectrum quickly across its existing nationwide macro network. Beyond improved speeds for mobile devices, T-Mobile expects to see a whole new class of innovative mobile applications and products emerge, built for broad 5G coverage.
Along with device and infrastructure partners, T-Mobile will help drive 3GPP certification for 5G in 600 MHz. As 5G standards are defined, chipsets are delivered, and equipment comes to market, T-Mobile will quickly deploy 5G nationwide in a large swath of unused spectrum.
