T-Mobile today said it plans to roll out a 5G network<\/a> in the United States starting in 2019, with a target of 2020 for full nationwide coverage.<\/p>\n

\nThe third-largest U.S. carrier said it will use part of its newly acquired 600 MHz low-band spectrum<\/a> to deliver 5G coverage from coast to coast. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe 600 MHz spectrum will allow 5G to be deployed nationwide, bringing the ultimate experiences to T-Mobile\u2019s enterprise customers and consumers throughout the United States,\u201d said Borje Ekholm, President and CEO, Ericsson. \u201cWe will support T-Mobile US with 5G radio development for this spectrum. Commercial availability of the product will be aligned with 3GPP standardization and ecosystem support.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

5G networks will pave the way for faster data speeds and lower latency on smartphones and other cellular-enabled devices. Last year, AT&T said it reached speeds above 10 gigabits per second<\/a> in early 5G lab trials, and it has even promised speeds up to 100 times faster<\/a> than 4G LTE.<\/p>\n

5G isn’t expected to become a reality until at least next year, as 3GPP is still working to establish the first set of 5G standards<\/a> by 2018.<\/p>\n

T-Mobile will help drive 3GPP certification for 5G in 600 MHz. As 5G standards are defined, chipsets are delivered, and equipment comes to market, T-Mobile will quickly deploy 5G nationwide in a large swath of unused spectrum.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

T-Mobile expects the first smartphones compatible with the 600 MHz spectrum to be released later this year.<\/p>\n

In February, Verizon said<\/a> it will begin offering gigabit broadband internet over a wireless 5G connection to pilot customers in 11 select U.S. markets during the first half of 2017. AT&T is also rolling out “5G Evolution”<\/a> speeds in over 20 major metro areas, but as widely reported, it’s not really 5G<\/a>.<\/p>\n
