After initially announcing its plans to offer mobile 5G in 2018, AT&T identified Dallas and Waco, Texas, and Atlanta Georgia, as the first cities where it will deploy network services based on the 3GPP non-standalone 5G New Radio (NR) standard. The operator said it would name more focus cities “in the coming months.”
When AT&T first announced its 5G intentions in January, it wasn’t clear what type of end-user equipment would be in market to support 5G. In its most recent statement, AT&T noted, “We will add more 5G capable mobile devices and smartphones in early 2019 and beyond.”
