T-Mobile has had quite the year. While adding customers every quarter and launching Binge On, the carrier is expanding its network throughout the United States. Customers are getting what can easily be called the best experience in the wireless industry. The new year is just over one week away, but T-Mobile wants to gloat on its 2015 success before 2016 arrives.
Neville Ray, T-Mobile’s Chief Technology Officer, highlighted what T-Mobile accomplished in 2015:
- We’ve more than doubled our LTE footprint—to reach 304 million Americans this year
- T-Mobile Extended Range LTE will improve our LTE signal for customers across 300 markets, big and small
- T-Mobile Wideband LTE is now live nationwide, with peak speeds in excess of 150Mbps
- We’ve launched T-Mobile Advanced Messaging, Video Calling, Binge On and more
- And we’ve delivered the Fastest 4G LTE in the nation throughout it all!
Aside from being the nation’s fastest 4G LTE network for seven straight quarters, T-Mobile is proudly proclaiming that its footprint grew nearly 1 million square miles (or 219 new markets altogether). Whether you’re in a small town or a large city, T-Mobile is doing everything possible to bring its network to you. And that means utilizing the 700MHz spectrum the carrier bought from Verizon earlier in the year. The same thing goes for the spectrum from MetroPCS: T-Mobile customers are getting the very best of the the carrier has available.
T-Mobile won’t be slowing down in 2016. Ray mentioned what the carrier intends to do next year as well:
- We’ll continue innovating wireless to support Americans’ evolving uses for the mobile internet.
- We’ll continue extending T-Mobile LTE into new suburbs, towns and destinations for the first time.
- We’ll continue building more speed and capacity, and roll out new technologies like 4×4 MIMO and 3-band carrier aggregation.
- And, of course, we’ll participate aggressively in the upcoming broadcast spectrum auction, while continuing to champion more innovation with LTE-Unlicensed (LTE-U).
Among the final things covered in the year-end recap was 5G, the next form of high-speed data that will succeed 4G LTE. T-Mobile made it clear that “industry standards don’t even exist for 5G yet,” but the carrier will be ready to deliver 5G effectively when available. For now, T-Mobile is telling everyone to be cautious in believing what other carriers say about 5G.
