As of Monday November 14, T-Mobile has made Ultra Capacity 5G on 5G SA (Standalone) available nationwide. This bold move by the Un-Carrier just topped the charts for 5G advancement by offering even faster speeds and lower latency for customers. This can improve your gaming experience, as well as any application that requires near real-time responsiveness.
The upgrade also opens up new possibilities for 5G carrier aggregation (NR CA), which means combining different layers of 5G spectrum together for greater speed and capacity. This year the carrier will begin combining three channels of Ultra Capacity 5G. According to tests, they were able to produce peak speeds topping 3 Gbps. Customers with the Samsung Galaxy S22 will be the first to leverage this new capability in the coming weeks, and it will expand to additional devices in the near future.
“5G is making a meaningful impact today – changing the way people use their smartphones, bringing choice and competition to home broadband, improving disaster response and so much more … but we’re only scratching the surface on what 5G can do,” said Neville Ray, President of Technology at T-Mobile. “Transformative 5G networks are here, and T-Mobile is leading the charge with not just the largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network, but the most advanced as well. We’re driving the industry forward with 5G standalone and delivering a level of performance for customers that can’t be achieved otherwise.”
T-Mobile is the network leader, delivering a 5G network that is larger, faster and more reliable than any other in the US. The Un-carrier’s Extended Range 5G now covers 321 million people across 1.9 million square miles – more than AT&T and Verizon combined. 250 million people nationwide are covered by T-Mobile’s super-fast Ultra Capacity 5G, and the Un-carrier plans to reach 300 million people with Ultra Capacity next year.
