T-Mobile has announced that it plans to offer access to its 5G network starting in 2019, with a complete roll out by 2020. While details are scarce at the moment the company did say it will dedicate a part of the new 600 MHz spectrum it acquired for $8 billion at a federal auction last month, and that they’re taking a different route than its main rivals by focusing on nationwide mobile 5G, not fixed 5G deployments.
The latter is in reference to Verizon and AT&T’s trials for fixed wireless Internet service using 5G to serve homes and businesses, which would compete against high-speed Internet offerings by cable companies.
