The company expects to debut 5G service on its 2.5 GHz spectrum during the first half of 2019. The company plans to use Massive MIMO cells and other technologies to increase the speed and capacity of its existing LTE sites by a factor of 10. The company will later add its 800 MHz and 1.9 GHz spectrum to its 5G strategy.
