T-Mobile US is laying claim to an industry first: Testing the aggregation of six component carriers in sub-6 GHz spectrum.
The carrier recently completed the testing, working in partnership with Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies, in its live production 5G network. T-Mo said that they were able to achieve download speeds of 3.6 Gbps in sub-6 GHz spectrum.
The test involved aggregating two channels of 2.5 GHz, two channels of PCS spectrum and two channels of AWS spectrum, according to T-Mobile US, which produced an “effective 245 MHz of aggregated 5G channels.”!
