On the heels of agreeing to spend $3.5 billion to acquire formerly-leased 600 MHz spectrum in 17 partial economic areas, T-Mobile US CFO Peter Osvaldik joined the virtual Oppenheimer 25th Annual Technology, Internet and Communications last week to give an update on how T-Mo’s spectrum holdings, network approach and go-to-market can help it continue to grow long term.
T-Mobile US operates a 5G Standalone network using 600 MHz spectrum–the operator calls this “Extended Range 5G”–alongside a 2.5 GHz network using spectrum that came with the Sprint merger. This mix gives T-Mo wide-area coverage with the low-band and a beneficial blend of coverage and capacity with the mid-band.
