| Meanwhile, it’s full speed ahead for T-Mobile at 2.5 GHz. In 2022, T-Mobile will extend its 2.5 GHz footprint from a population of 200 million to 250 million, and by 2023, it will reach 300 million people with Ultra Capacity 5G. “By the time we’re at 300 million, our competition has publicly stated they will try and get to where we are today, so that’s a very distinct advantage,” Ray said.But to get to that next 100 million people covered, “that’s a massive undertaking,” because the geography really starts to “thin” from a POPs standpoint, Ray said. To put that into perspective, moving from 200 million to 300 million POPs requires five times the geographic coverage area, “so that’s a lot of sites and work that has to happen,” he said.One of the things T-Mobile has been working on for well over a year now is the ability to pair 600 MHz spectrum on the uplink with 2.5 GHz on the downlink. That extends the reach and in-building coverage capabilities by up to 30%, according to T-Mobile’s tests. Having that low- band capability to extend the reach of mid-band is very important, Ray said.It gets a little dicey when trying to decipher exactly when and where that’s going to be available for end users. The network will be fully upgraded by the end of this year to support that carrier aggregation combination, he said. The handsets will be receiving the upgrades over the air, in the form of software updates, going into 2022, but he wasn’t’ real specific on that timing. Some handset upgrades may get done this year, but the initial emphasis is on the network. “I think the handset piece is going to follow in Q1 of next year,” he said.Ray said he’s confident the situation on the C-band spectrum will get resolved over time, and T-Mobile is supportive of the industry in terms of ensuring the aviation concerns can be addressed and mitigated. In the meantime, it has AWS and PCS assets that are mostly used for LTE, and that’s part of the balancing act of migrating more customers over to 5G. -- ???????? | |||
