T-Mobile also announced today that it’s launching new capabilities with 5G carrier aggregation (NR CA), combining two channels of 2.5 GHz mid-band spectrum for greater speed and capacity.
Read moreWhat is considered mid-band?
Spectrum in the 1 GHz – 6 GHz range is mid-band spectrum and it is considered ideal for 5G because it can carry plenty of data while also traveling significant distances. The GSMA describes spectrum in the 3.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz range as particularly appealing.
Read moreWhat is mid-band spectrum?
It’s the mid-band spectrum, the middle layer of the cake, that brings together the best of both worlds: long range for broad coverage, with high capacity and speed and the ability to penetrate walls . This is why mid-band has been called the “sweet spot” spectrum for 5G.

4G LTE B2 (FD 1900) Band 2 is an LTE operating frequency Band . LTE is designed to work across a number of frequency bands – E-UTRA operating bands- currently ranging from 450 MHz up to 3.8GHz.

While AT&T and Verizon anxiously await their expensive C-band spectrum release, T-Mobile has the best overall 5G network thanks to its wide sub-6 at both 600MHz and 2.5GHz coverage with room to grow with mmWave and C-band spectrum in the coming years.
Read moreWho has millimeter wave 5G?
Millimeter-wave: High speed, but with a downside The first flavor is known as millimeter-wave (aka mmWave). This technology has been deployed over the course of the last few years by Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile , though it’s most notable for being the 5G network Verizon has previously touted across the country.
Read moreWhat is 5G millimeter wave?
Millimeter waves — often referred to as mmWaves or high-band 5G — are frequencies starting at 24 GHz and beyond . As radio waves increase in frequency, each wave narrows in length. Because of its high frequencies, mmWave has a limited range of only 300 to 500 feet and struggles to penetrate buildings.10 Eyl 2021
