T-Mobile and Governor Jeff Landry Reveal Massive $290 Million 5G Network Upgrade in Louisiana - Seite 3

Another important initiative benefiting the state of Louisiana is T-Mobile's Project 10Million, which offers free internet connectivity and mobile hotspots to eligible students to help close the digital divide. The company has connected over 41,000 students, from over 40 school districts across Louisiana and is also offering school districts free and heavily subsidized data plans and access to affordable laptops and tablets through Project 10Million and its other education initiatives.

Finally, T-Mobile has also increased investments in network hardening nationwide by more than 30% over the past two years to reduce service interruptions and has expanded backup power sources to ensure redundancy in case of severe weather or other emergencies. To prepare for major weather events, T-Mobile has also added 50% more heavy-duty disaster response satellite vehicles to its ready-to-respond fleet as well as expanding its community support fleet with new, fully loaded RV command centers and heavy-duty Wi-Fi vehicles.

T-Mobile Lights Up Louisiana

To celebrate today's announcement and everything the Un-carrier has done to provide Louisiana with exceptional network capabilities, T-Mobile is lighting the Pelican State up with magenta spotlights at some T-Mobile stores across Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Shreveport, Hammond, Alexandria, and Lafayette. T-Mobile is also offering anyone in Louisiana - customers and non-customers alike - a chance to win four new iPhone 15 or Samsung Galaxy S24 devices. For your chance to enter, follow the magenta lit road to participating stores between April 18 and 26!

T-Mobile is the leader in 5G, delivering the country's largest, fastest and most awarded 5G network. The Un-carrier's 5G network covers more than 330 million people across two million square miles - more square miles than AT&T and Verizon combined. More than 300 million people nationwide are covered by T-Mobile's super-fast Ultra Capacity 5G with over 2x more square miles of coverage than similar mid-band 5G offerings from the Un-carrier's closest competitors.
