T-Mobile rolls out more low band LTE in over 100 markets
Low frequency spectrum, like the 600MHz and 700MHz airwaves owned by T-Mobile, can travel farther and penetrate buildings better than the high frequency kind. And according to the carrier's CTO Neville Ray, T-Mobile added more "lowband LTE" to hundreds of sites in just the last two weeks. The rollout includes a mix of both 600MHz and 700MHz spectrum. You might recall that last April, the company spent nearly $8 billion to win 31MHz of 600MHz airwaves in an FCC auction.
In addition to expanding its low band LTE presence, T-Mobile has also plans on employing some of its 600MHz spectrum for its nationwide 5G network and expects to offer the zippy next-gen service in 30 cities by the end of this year. T-Mobile subscribers in markets like New York, Los Angeles, Dallas and Las Vegas will be among those first to experience the wireless operator's 5G service.
