“Only T-Mobile is delivering a nationwide standalone 5G network to customers today, and we’re blazing a trail with new performance-boosting capabilities that generate incredible speeds and deliver on our vision to create the highest capacity network in the country,” said Neville Ray, President of Technology at T-Mobile.
5G Carrier Aggregation (NR CA) allows T-Mobile to combine multiple 5G channels (or carriers) to deliver greater speed and performance. T-Mobile merged three 5G channels – two channels of 2.5 GHz Ultra Capacity 5G and one channel of 1900 MHz spectrum – creating an effective 210 MHz 5G channel.
NR CA is live in parts of T-Mobile’s network, combining two 2.5 GHz 5G channels for greater speeds, performance and capacity. Customers with Samsung Galaxy S22 will be among the first to experience a third 1900 MHz 5G channel later this year.
