As carriers and vendors around the world race to trial 5G technologies ahead of standardization, CEO Marcelo Claure, during a call this week with investors, detailed an upcoming Sprint 5G trial.
Sprint has extensive spectrum holdings in the 2.5 GHz band, which Claure said would be viewed as “the low band spectrum of 5G. Our densification and optimization plan is also building the foundation for 5G.”
Densification and access to new, high-capacity spectrum in largely untapped bands are considered to be foundational elements of an ultimate 5G standard.
