In providing third quarter fiscal reporting this week, T-Mobile executives provided an update on the progress of integrating the Sprint network and migrating customers to the new T-Mobile network, and discussed further financial synergies gained through the combination of Sprint and T-Mobile.
T-Mobile currently offers nationwide standalone 5G service using its 600 MHz spectrum and is rapidly deploying Sprint’s 2.5 GHz holdings to balance capacity and coverage in its 5G network. CEO Mike Sievert said 2.5 GHz 5G is currently available in 400 towns and cities covering 30 million people. By year-end, he expects mid-band 5G in 1000 towns and cities covering 100 million people with the goal of nationwide coverage by the end of 2021.
