T-Mobile’s Biggest Network Investment Ever … Put to Work to Bring 5G to Our Military Communities

T-Mobile’s nationwide LTE coverage has nearly tripled in the last three years and now covers 322 million people – nearly every American – serving our military well. And, Un-carrier customers get it all on a network with download speeds that are 16% faster than Verizon and 18% faster than AT&T on the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ since launch, according to Speedtest.⁴ Plus, T-Mobile is the sole provider of LTE coverage at Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, thanks to the Un-carrier’s groundbreaking deal with the Navy to build a network from the ground up connecting the men, women and families stationed there to those back home.

T-Mobile is putting its biggest network investment ever – more than $8 billion in nationwide spectrum – to work for our military and the communities they call home. In 2018, T-Mobile will invest more than half a billion dollars to expand LTE capacity and coverage around military bases and the communities they call home. And, the Un-carrier is laying a foundation for 5G in those communities by rolling out 5G-ready infrastructure. When this breakthrough, next-generation technology is ready, our military won’t be left behind because T-Mobile is planning to bring nationwide 5G to everyone, everywhere.
