Between fastballs, curveballs, homeruns, and stolen bases, fans need a network that can keep up with it all. Our upgrades deliver exactly that and more, extending beyond the stadium to bring an enhanced experience to customers throughout Arlington.
- 100% 5G coverage inside Globe Life Field, including T-Mobile’s fastest Ultra Capacity 5G (5G UC) and 200MHz of mmWave 5G.
- Peak download and upload speeds of 1.6 Gbps and 100 Mbps during a game, fast enough to download movies like “The Sandlot” in just 5 seconds!
- Permanent 5G upgrades enhancing coverage and capacity in key locations across Arlington’s entertainment district like Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center, Texas Live!, Choctaw Stadium and more.
At present, nearly all the Arlington area is covered with T-Mobile's fastest 5G UC, too, and the Un-carrier will deploy mobile Cell on Wheels (CoWs) and Cell on Light Trucks (CoLTs) solutions, like the ones it uses to mitigate the impact of Hurricane Beryl on its network, to strengthen its network backhaul if the need arises during the MLB All-Star Week.
