Sub-6GHz 5G is essential for blanket coverage and bandwidth, while mmWave offers higher speeds over shorter distances . As such, mmWave deployments are limited to short distances, such as a few streets, and areas that benefit most from extreme high bandwidth, such as stadiums and city centers.
Read moreDoes T-Mobile use sub-6 or mmWave?
It’s important to note that both phones only support sub-6 GHz frequencies and not mmWave —not even the mmWave frequencies that T-Mobile has already deployed in several cities around the country. In other words, these phones can “see” and work with one kind of T-Mobile 5G service, but not the other.2 Ara 2019
Read moreDoes T-Mobile use mmWave?
T-Mobile will continue building out 5G in millimeter wave (mmWave) , where it makes sense, like dense urban areas. Millimeter wave delivers massive capacity, but only over a very small footprint.
Read moreDoes T-Mobile have C-band?
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 moreWho makes 5G equipment for T-Mobile?
Among a long list of firsts, T-Mobile said it managed a SA 5G data session between commercial modems from two suppliers on a production network with Cisco, Ericsson, MediaTek, Nokia and Qualcomm Technologies .
Read moreDoes T-Mobile use sub6?
For example, T-Mobile owns the licenses to most of band 71 (600 MHz). This low-band sub- 6, which refers to frequencies below 6 GHz, performs well over long distances and in rural areas. … Mobile carriers use a combination of high-band, mid-band, and low-band spectrum to deliver widespread coverage.
Read moreDoes TMO have mmWave?
T-Mobile is using mmWave spectrum in the 39 GHz band . T-Mobile brands its mid-band and millimeter wave flavors of 5G as ‘Ultra Capacity’ versus the “Extended Range” 600 MHz deployments used for broader nationwide 5G coverage.
