On Monday, T-Mobile announces that it has invested nearly $3 billion in mid-band 3.45GHz spectrum that will add to its Ultra Capacity 5G, which covers 210 million Americans. T-Mobile plans to cover 260 million with Ultra Capacity 5G this year and hopes to reach 300 million by the end of 2023.
Both Verizon and AT&T made headlines last month when there was discussion that C-band 5G networks set to go live were interrupted by concern from both US airlines and the FAA of interference with aircrafts’ altitude instruments, critical during low-visibility landings. These concerns have since been resolved with active communication between carriers, key airports, airlines, and the FAA.
