T-Mobile Successfully Tests Multi-Band 5G in the Wild

Jan 7, 2019, 9:48 AM by Rich Brome @richbrome

T-Mobile has successfully tested 5G technology on three different radio frequency bands, including 600 MHz (band 71), in a real setting outside of a lab. The company is working toward offering 5G service nationwide in 2020. T-Mobile worked with Ericsson and Intel to complete the recent test, which involved three users participating in a video call, using 600 MHz, 28 GHz and 39 GHz bands. While the GHz bands offer greater speed and capacity, the 600 MHz band offers better "blanket" coverage. During the tests, the teams generated a 5G signal capable of covering more than a thousand square miles from a single tower.

T-Mobile recently announced that its mid-band 5G network now covers over 200 million people, a threshold that the industry acknowledges as "nationwide" coverage. (Mid-band 5G offers an ideal balance of fast data speeds and broad coverage compared to 5G in other bands.) In an interview with Phone Scoop, T-Mobile executives detailed how they plan to maintain the company's lead in mid-band 5G even as Verizon and AT&T launch mid-band 5G early next year.

AT&T, Dish Big Winners in FCC's Latest Mid-Band Auction

Jan 14, 2022
The US FCC (Federal Communications Commission) just announced the winners of its auction 110, for prime new mid-band radio spectrum ideal for 5G. AT&T and Dish spent the most, each splurging for enough licenses to cover the entire continental US.

Following C-Band 5G Debacle, FCC Considers Regulating Radio Receiver Performance

Apr 21, 2022
The FCC has launched an official proceeding to investigate how it can best address the issue of radio receiver performance. The FCC has historically regulated radio transmitters, but paid little attention to the technical aspects of radio receivers.

AT&T Launching Location-Based Routing of 911 Calls Nationwide

May 10, 2022
AT&T is the first US carrier to launch location-based routing of 911 emergency calls to the appropriate call centers on a nationwide basis. Previously, 911 calls were routed to call centers based on the cell tower location, and then a more precise phone location transmitted to that call center.

Verizon Ready to Light up More Mid-Band 5G Using Band 48

Jun 14, 2022
Verizon has successfully tested 5G technology in two different modes within band 48, also known as CBRS. At 3.5 GHz, this valuable mid-band spectrum is close to the C Band spectrum that Verizon recently deployed.

Typo???

"During the tests, the teams generated a 5G signal capable of covering more than a thousand square miles from a single tower."

"A thousand square miles" means the radius of the range of the tower would need to be at least 17.84 miles??????

Even the current 4G towers don't reach that far. And we have been told that the range of 5G compared to the current 4G towers will be much less that would mean more 5G towers to cover the same amount of area.

Perhaps more than a hundred square miles might be the intended meaning???
Which would translate into a radius of 5.64 miles.
