After the recent merger with Sprint, T-Mobile now has more variety of spectrum across all three bands than any other national carrier , with significant holdings in the low- and mid-bands needed to deliver 5G far and wide.
Read moreDoes T-Mobile use C-band spectrum?
T-Mobile, for example, uses 600 MHz, 2.5 GHz and 39 GHz for 5G , and when the second tranche of C-band becomes available in 2023, it will have an average 40 MHz of C-band at its disposal. And it just picked up 3.45 GHz spectrum in the FCC’s most recent auction for 5G services, where it spent nearly $3 billion.
Read moreHow much mid-band spectrum does T-Mobile have?
T-Mobile has 292 MHz of mid-band spectrum. This is one of our big advantages over our competitors. Here’s why. For some time, we’ve been using a “layer cake” analogy to describe the network approach we pioneered.

According to wireless testing firm Rohde and Schwarz, the C-band is all frequencies between 4 and 8GHz . When US wireless geeks talk about C-band, though, they’re talking about 3.7 to 4.2GHz—and specifically, in this case, the range from 3.7 to 3.98GHz.

About that spectrum: T-Mobile has 160 MHz on average in the 2.5 GHz layer. It picked up 40 MHz in the C-band auction, but that’s in the second tranche, which won’t be available until 2023 . … Leading up to the availability of that C-band spectrum, T-Mobile can convert more of that Sprint PCS spectrum to 5G.

Ultra Capacity (UC) 5G Band n41 (2.5 GHz)
Read moreIs C-band mid-band?
The terms C-band and “Mid-band” are often used interchangeably . It is more accurate to describe the C-band frequency range as a component of the larger 3.3 – 4.2 GHz mid-band spectrum. Mid-band resides within frequency range 1 (FR1), located squarely between low-band FR1 and the “millimeter wave” (FR2) RF spectrum.
