T-Mobile has become the first U.S. wireless provider to launch a nationwide 5G Advanced network, built on its existing 5G Standalone (SA) infrastructure.

This advancement is designed to enable high-speed, low-latency, and highly reliable connectivity across the country, opening new possibilities for consumers, developers, and enterprises.

The 5G Advanced upgrade includes several key capabilities:

enhanced and enriched experiences: Faster upload and download speeds using carrier aggregation and new technologies like L4S, improving applications such as AR/VR, cloud gaming, and video conferencing.

intent-based experiences: Through network slicing, T-Mobile can allocate specific network resources to critical tasks, such as first responder communications (T-Priority), cybersecurity services (T-Mobile SASE), and point-of-sale systems at major events.

AI-scaled experiences: AI and machine learning are embedded throughout the network, allowing predictive optimization, real-time adaptability, and energy-efficient operations without sacrificing performance.

pervasive experiences: With RedCap (Reduced Capability) support, the network expands to new device types like wearables, industrial sensors, and smart infrastructure, accelerating the Internet of Things (IoT) growth.

T-Mobile’s rollout of 5G Advanced positions the company ahead of competitors and lays the groundwork for future 6G development. Additional information can be found on T-Mobile’s coverage page and investor website.
