T-Mobile has invested $304 million in Auction 108 – the FCC’s recent 2.5 GHz spectrum auction – taking home more than 7,000 county-based licenses covering 81 million people primarily in rural areas.

This new spectrum will enable T-Mobile to expand Ultra Capacity 5G coverage to new communities and significantly increase bandwidth in many places Ultra Capacity 5G already covers. Following licensing, the Un-carrier will begin deploying the new spectrum for 5G, boosting performance for customers.

Following Auction 108, T-Mobile can now expand Ultra Capacity 5G and deliver greater performance and connectivity to those in underserved areas, for customers of both its mobile and broadband Internet services, bringing much needed choice and competition to millions more Americans.

T-Mobile’s Extended Range 5G covers nearly everyone in the country – 320 million people, delivering more 5G coverage than Verizon and AT&T combined. 235 million people nationwide are covered with super-fast Ultra Capacity 5G, and T-Mobile expects to cover 260 million in 2022 and 300 million next year.
