Earlier today, T-Mobile made an important announcement with its 5G network. The Un-carrier revealed that its network achieved another first in a test leveraging 5G standalone mmWave on its production network. This is all, of course, thanks to its collaboration with Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Through this collaboration, T-Mobile was able to aggregate eight channels of mmWave spectrum and reached 4.3 Gbps download speeds without the use of low-band or mid-band spectrum. T-Mo was also able ... [read full article]

Next, we’ll need them to actually roll out mmWave antennas so that we can all take advantage of that extra capacity!
