While the launch date remains unknown, two lucky cities in Indiana and Texas will be the first to get “5G.” If you’re wondering why I wrapped that in quotes, it’s because the network will “only” hit 400Mbps—that is much slower than true 5G, which is supposed to reach 1Gbps.
AT&T has further elaborated on its 5G plans and will be paving the way for the next-gen tech in the US with an initial rollout of what it is calling “5G Evolution” in Austin and Indianapolis. What is 5G Evolution? Basically, its the name of a new high-speed network that is supposed to reach top speeds of around 400 Mbps. This isn’t quite ‘real’ 5G, which is said to hit 1Gbps with ease, but it is a push in the right direction. AT&T says this is just the beginning and that it will continue to do special tests of its 5G technology in the months to come. AT&T also claims that this network could even potentially reach the gigabit range by the end of the year.
