T-Mobile has launched LTE-U on its home turf in Bellevue, as well as Brooklyn, Dearborn, Las Vegas, Richardson, and Simi Valley. Customers with compatible smartphones in these cities should see the benefits of this network automatically: LTE-U takes advantage of unused frequency from the 5 GHz band of spectrum (typically used by Wi-Fi routers) for faster LTE service. T-Mobile has also announced that they are the first to field test License Assisted Access (LAA); results showed blazing 741 Mbps download speeds using 80 MHz of aggregated spectrum.
…T-Mobile is the first national wireless provider to make LTE-U available to customers. LTE-U uses publicly available 5 GHz airwaves to bolster existing LTE capacity and give a speed boost to what is already America’s fastest, most advanced 4G LTE network. T-Mobile LTE-U is live in select locations in Bellevue, WA; Brooklyn, NY; Dearborn, MI; Las Vegas, NV; Richardson, TX; and Simi Valley, CA, with more rolling out later this year. For T-Mobile customers, LTE-U is all goodness—delivering even more capacity and faster speeds. And there’s no need to turn on or download anything. It just works for T-Mobile customers in LTE-U locations with compatible smartphones!
