tmobile-blocks/subhead

Standalone 5G is the future of wireless, and we are leading the charge! T-Mobile recently pulled off the world’s first 5G standalone (SA) New Radio Dual Connectivity (NR DC) data call on a commercial network. If you need help translating all that (this writer sure did), it means we combined the power of 2.5 GHz spectrum (n41) with millimeter wave (n260) to boost download speeds to nearly 5 Gbps (mind-blowing fast – like download an HD movie in the blink of an eye fast)! Our team made it all happen on the only nationwide commercial SA 5G network in the U.S.

5G-powered smart glasses, holograms and Mixed Reality apps deliver an immersive new fan experience

The sports industry is always looking for new ways to engage fans and hold their attention — from bobbleheads that made their first appearance in 1960 to a riotous 10-cent beer night in 1974. But today, sports teams are going high-tech, using powerful 5G networks to transform spectator sports into interactive and immersive experiences.

Over the last decade sports leagues have made huge investments to capture all the data that inherently exists in a game. In baseball for example, the speed that a center fielder runs to catch a ball, the velocity a pitcher throws, the launch angle for each batter — all of these things have become important to fans. And broadcasters have been incorporating this data into the televised experience. But now with 5G, we can give fans at the stadium the same access to real-time stats, instant replays and a vast library of content that brings them closer to the action with more ways to enjoy the game.

T-Mobile Park, a 5G Showcase Our hometown Major League Baseball (MLB) venue in Seattle, T-Mobile Park, is fully loaded with some of the most advanced 5G technologies in wireless. And this year, we have been exploring new ways to reinvent the fan experience. We kicked off the season with new 5G-powered AR experiences that virtually transport fans onto the field so they can throw a pitch or swing a bat — real-time motion tracking and AR computing captures their movement on-screen instantaneously. And this season we began testing a 5G Mixed Reality (XR) solution, creating a space where fans can just walk in, put on a pair of smart glasses and immediately be transported into an augmented reality baseball paradise.

tmobile-blocks/wistia-embed

Using Nreal smart glasses, baseball fans can view an enhanced AR scoreboard and get real-time MLB stat cast updates. Mariners’ outfielder Mitch Haniger makes an appearance via his hologram captured by <a href="https://www.omnivor.io/">Omnivor</a>, a company that enables real time face-to-face volumetric video conversations. And a dancing Mariner Moose mascot also appears to celebrate big moments in the game. In addition to watching the live action on the field, fans can explore virtual baseball cards updated with real-time stats, or browse an extensive video library of Mariners’ game highlights. There’s even a virtual fireworks display every time the Mariners score a run. This full XR experience was built by <a href="https://www.iconicengine.com/">Iconic Engine</a>, a company doing incredible work developing the next generation of XR streaming applications. And all of this is powered by T-Mobile’s high-speed, low-latency Ultra Capacity 5G network.

This is just one more way we’re working to develop new 5G use cases for sports entertainment. At All-Star Week this year, we <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/un-carrier/all-star-week-2021">partnered with MLB</a> to bring fans a first-person view of batting practice and the T-Mobile Home Run Derby using 5G-connected POV cameras mounted on player hats and masks. The cameras were the first to deliver live, synchronized HD video and audio over 5G, and they gave fans views of the action on the field from angles previously impossible to capture. We also used our <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-and-the-drone-racing-league-launch-first-5g-enabled-drone">first 5G drone</a> built with the Drone Racing League to capture and stream on primetime TV stunning <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/5g-drones-are-reimagining-sports-entertainment?wvideo=mtkj3a96hd">first-person view footage</a> of the 8,000-seat ballpark and Field of Dreams movie site in Dyersville, Iowa. T-Mobile also enabled <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/fox-sports-mlb-at-field-of-dreams-broadcast-delivers-cinematic-viewer-experience-with-hdr-5g-live-drone-shots-301365987.html">FOX Sports and LiveU</a> to use a drone to broadcast live footage of the MLB at Field of Dreams game over our 5G network.

T-Mobile 5G, a Platform for XR Innovation  At T-Mobile we are building America’s leading 5G network, and independent reports confirm it is the <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/opensignal-global-5g-best-availability-in-the-world">largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network</a>. T-Mobile’s Extended Range 5G network covers 305 million people and our Ultra Capacity 5G network covers 165 million. With Ultra Capacity 5G, developers can tap into the low latency, high capacity and speed needed for bandwidth-intensive XR experiences.

This amazing 5G network is a platform for innovation that is giving sports franchises and developers new opportunities to reinvent the fan experience. To fuel this innovation and support startups and developers, we have a number of initiatives including the award-winning <a href="http://t-mobileaccelerator.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">T-Mobile Accelerator</a>, <a href="https://5goilab.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">5G Open Innovation Lab</a> and <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/business/ventures" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">T-Mobile Ventures</a> investment fund. Omnivor, for example, is one of the first companies we began working with last year at the 5G Open Innovation Lab.

Stay tuned for more as we kick things into high gear with even more innovators, developers and entrepreneurs building the next big thing in 5G-powered sports entertainment. Game on!

Drones are connecting us in new and better ways to our world

We’ve had a love affair with drones since they first began appearing in retail stores, vaulting themselves to the top of our gadgets and electronics wish lists. Drones let us take to the sky. They give us a birds-eye view of new places from a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/11/us/drone-bowling-alley.html" target="_blank">bowling alley</a> in Minneapolis to the MLB At Field of Dreams Presented by GEICO <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://tmobile-newsroom.wistia.com/medias/mtkj3a96hd" target="_blank">site in Iowa.</a> Used for years in the entertainment industry, drones delight us with visually stunning aerial shots. And in the world of sports, broadcasters have long used drones to give spectators a closer look at the live action on the field.  This year NBC Sports <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/249753/nbc-sports-to-use-drone-in-kentucky-derby-coverage" target="_blank">used a drone</a> to broadcast coverage for the first time from the Kentucky Derby. Now, 5G drones are taking this to the next level to transform the world of sports entertainment.

Today <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://thedroneracingleague.com/" target="_blank">Drone Racing League</a> (DRL) is creating a new era of sport using 5G technology to give tens of millions of fans a more immersive experience like no one has ever seen before. This week, DRL used its newly built 5G-enabled drone to capture and stream stunning first-person view (FPV) footage of the 8,000-seat ballpark and Field of Dreams movie site in Dyersville, Iowa. From the 5G drone, baseball fans get a detailed tour of the site, starting with a close-up view of the movie house and baseball field, before zipping over the corn to reveal the newly constructed MLB field. After flying down the first baseline, fans get an up-close view of the scoreboard and dugout before panning out to a 360-degree birds-eye view of the field. According to Nicholas Horbaczewski, DRL Founder & CEO, FPV transforms the fan experience by giving audiences a view from inside the drone as if they themselves were in flight.

DRL and T-Mobile <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-and-the-drone-racing-league-launch-first-5g-enabled-drone" target="_blank">have built</a> one of the first racing drones in the world to have an embedded 5G module capable of 5G live streaming video directly to the Internet. By leveraging the faster speeds of a 5G network, sports fans can experience FPV footage from drones in stunning clarity. With the ultra-fast speeds of 5G, large amounts of data can quickly be transferred between the action on the field and the drone, delivering it in real-time to sports fans. <a href="https://youtu.be/dn83uUjXfZ8"></a>

core/embed

In its next phase of development, the DRL embedded 5G module will one day connect the drone’s command and control functions to enable flight over the T-Mobile 5G network. The eventual goal is for pilots to be able to navigate complex obstacle courses over a 5G network while racing at blazing fast speeds. But for this to be achieved, 5G racing drones will need to pass a stringent test in latency – that’s the response time for data to travel between the pilot and the drone. Achieving ultra-low latency is required for such fast speeds, and it’s a challenge that T-Mobile and DRL engineers say they are excited to solve.

As we look ahead at the development of 5G drones in sports and other industries, John Saw, EVP of Advanced & Emerging Technologies at T-Mobile, <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/fueling-5g-drone-innovation">says</a> the key for drone services to become ubiquitous is having a highly reliable, responsive broad coverage 5G network to manage all the traffic. This kind of low latency 5G network will enable traffic management systems to approach real-time situational awareness thereby allowing for quick coordination of drones in the air.

With so many possibilities for drones, from bringing immersive new experiences to sports fans to delivering medical supplies to rural communities, we can’t wait to see how 5G technology and drones will connect us in new and better ways to our world.

Top ranked HBCU unveils one of the first virtual reality campuses in the nation bringing students the benefits of both virtual and in-person learning

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — August 3, 2021 — This fall students at Fisk University will attend in-person classes at one of the first virtual reality (VR) campuses in the nation. Fisk University, HTC VIVE, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) and VictoryXR have teamed up to launch a first-of-its-kind interactive 5G-powered VR human cadaver lab for students in pre-med and biology-related majors.

Fisk University, located in Nashville, Tennessee, is one of the top ranked HBCUs in the country. This new model of learning combines the in-person classroom experience with 5G-powered VR technology, enabling students to explore the complete skeletal structure, muscle structure and the eleven human organ systems while still engaging in-person with their classmates and instructors.

“We’re combining the best aspects of virtual and in-person learning, and this is the future of education,” said Dr. Vann Newkirk, President, Fisk University. “Fisk University is emerging as a tech leader among colleges, and our effort to bring a virtual reality cadaver lab to campus exemplifies our commitment to provide students with a state-of-the-art education.”

Inside the lab, students will examine the internal organs of various human systems, and the professor can even remove the organs from the body and pass them around for students to hold and open. Students will have the ability to enlarge the organ to a size large enough where they can even step inside to better learn how it works. In addition to organ systems, the cadavers will also include complete skeletal and muscle structures.

“With this cadaver lab, our pre-med students will no longer need to rely on other universities for advanced anatomy and biology classes,” said Dr. Shirley Brown, Dean of Fisk University. “Virtual reality technology takes our university to a level equal to the most advanced schools in the country.”

In the past, Fisk University has not purchased cadavers due to the high cost and maintenance. But with a virtual cadaver lab, the university can offer state-of-the-art scientific learning that’s affordable and easy to maintain. Virtual cadavers do not degrade, and over time additional specialties can be added to the software such as surgical procedures, comparative learning between human and animal as well as microbiology at the cellular level.

In addition, the collaboration will enable Fisk University to offer in-person VR history courses allowing students to visit locations previously only seen in a book or video. Some of those places include key civil rights locations such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, and the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

“The rise of virtual reality is redefining the classroom,” said Steve Grubbs, CEO, VictoryXR. “Remote learning is broken and VR campuses enable professors and students to again come together to teach, learn and solve problems.”

5G-Powered VR Learning Students will use HTC VIVE headsets to work inside the virtual cadaver lab developed by VictoryXR using the Unity real-time 3D platform. The VR cadaver lab runs on T-Mobile’s Ultra Capacity 5G network, which provides the low latency, high capacity and speed needed to run a bandwidth-intensive VR application for a classroom of students simultaneously. With T-Mobile 5G, the experience offers higher definition graphical detail, making it possible for example to better discern veins and arteries. Meanwhile the low latency of 5G keeps the experience concurrent for multiple users, making sure the whole class stays in synch.

The All-in-One HTC VIVE Focus 3 combines high-definition visuals, superior audio, and next level inside-out tracking and controllers to deliver extraordinary learning experiences. With best-in-class graphics and software, the HTC VIVE Focus 3 enables seamless remote collaboration and incredibly effective training opportunities.

“This is an incredibly exciting time for VR as 5G performance advantages begin to further liberate the scaling potential of immersive tech and real-time learning & collaboration experiences across education and the corporate world,” said Nigel Newby-House, Vice President, HTC Operator Solutions. “Enabling this world-first deployment of VR and 5G at Fisk with Victory XR and T-Mobile is a truly ground-breaking moment.”

With high-bandwidth, low-latency networks, classrooms of the future will engage students in immersive experiences using mixed reality content. A typical day of learning might include a virtual tour inside the human body, an exploration of the Louvre, a hike across the Amazon rain forest and a lesson taught by a hologram expert guest speaker.

5G is propelling a new solution to solve today’s transportation challenges

Driverless cars. They’ve long been the stuff of science fiction, and there are reasons we have not yet reached a transportation utopia where our cities hum along free of traffic congestion and pollution. Driverless and autonomous cars present extremely complex technical challenges that won’t be solved anytime soon according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/self-driving-cars-could-be-decades-away-no-matter-what-elon-musk-said-11622865615">many experts</a>. Plus, there’s the issue of social trust – it doesn’t matter how intelligent a car is if people won’t get in. But both of these issues – technology development and cultural change – are moving forward in tandem down a path to more capable driverless and autonomous cars. Today we’re seeing exciting progress come to life propelled by <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/5g">5G networks</a>.

Companies like Cruise, Waymo, Uber, Tesla and others have all been pushing the industry forward. Even Dominos jumped into autonomous vehicles with Nuro, an occupantless on-road delivery vehicle that received U.S. DOT approval in April. Now, there’s a new entrant on the scene called <a href="http://halo.car">Halo</a>, a startup that’s taking a unique and pragmatic approach to tackle transportation challenges with a driverless electric vehicle (EV) that runs on 5G technology. Halo has launched one of the first commercial driverless car services in the U.S., and it’s running on the <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/4g-lte-5g-networks">T-Mobile 5G network</a> in Las Vegas, a city known for its rapid adoption of innovative technology from the first hyperloop test to its newest underground tunnel. Now, Halo is adding to the city’s portfolio of technical achievements.

<a>A People First Approach Towards Autonomous Vehicles</a>

Halo’s service is safe and easy to use. Riders will simply summon a driverless EV via a mobile app. A driverless Halo arrives at the pick-up location, the rider hops in and drives to their destination. Upon arrival, no parking is needed — the Halo moves driverlessly to its next pick-up location.

With its proprietary RemotePilot technology, Halo trains inhouse remote drivers to operate the driverless car over T-Mobile’s 5G network. Halo has developed an Advanced Safe Stop mechanism enabling its cars to immediately come to a full stop if a potential safety hazard or system anomaly is detected. Using an advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm, the car also learns in the background while humans control the vehicle, building a unique feedback loop to achieve Level 3 capabilities over time.

According to Halo’s Founder and CEO Anand Nandakumar, his service is uniquely designed in that it builds automation over time starting with a solution that consumers will feel comfortable using today. He shares that the inspiration for Halo came from industrial robotics. In the past, entire factory floors were full of people touching every part of a product being manufactured. But over time, robotics have been incorporated to automate redundant tasks, and today many warehouses across the country are almost fully automated with human supervision. Halo is approaching autonomy in a similar way. Humans complete drives over a 5G connection providing real-world data for an AI system to learn and improve in the background. This then leads to the automation of certain tasks over time while creating local jobs where people work alongside AI and robotics.

<a>Solving Transportation Challenges</a>

Halo’s long-term vision is to collaborate with local municipalities to blanket cities with Halos and connect public transit systems. According to the <a href="https://www.apta.com/news-publications/public-transportation-facts/">American Public Transportation Association</a>, public transit is a lifeline for millions of Americans. But for many people, the challenge of last mile transportation is a barrier preventing them from hopping on trains and buses. This “last mile problem” is how to get riders from the bus or train stop to their final destination.

According to Justin Jones, Clark County Commissioner of District F and Vice Chair of the Southern Nevada Regional Transportation Commission City Official, Halo and 5G technology offer an intelligent transition between where the city is today and where it wants to go in the coming years, giving residents and visitors a better, more energy efficient way to move about the city.

Transportation is one of many industries being transformed today by 5G. Just like smartphone apps built on 4G networks revolutionized the mobile economy in ways no one could have predicted, the same will be true with 5G, but with innovation coming at a much greater scale across all industries. It is the innovators, developers and entrepreneurs like Halo that are making the magic happen, and this kind of startup innovation is why T-Mobile is working to build the biggest and best 5G network in the country.  Learn more <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/5g">about 5G</a>.

Kids are in the classroom, employees are back in the office and Americans are making plans for summer travel. But as daily life returns to “normal,” we see that our world is going to be far more mobile than ever before. The COVID-19 pandemic changed how we think about work. It loosened ties to offices and big cities. It gave us new tools and new perspective. As a result, workers are moving to the suburbs, new hires are being found outside the metropolis while others are opting to retire sooner.

According to a recent report by Accenture, the pandemic has changed the way people live, work and socialize, with 79% of respondents wanting to work from a “third space” – a location other than their home or workplace.1 Meanwhile, 87% of enterprises expect their employees to work from home three or more days per week. 2 This means tomorrow’s office is virtually anywhere, and it’s spurring a greater demand for services that keep people connected from their home to the office and the places in between. 5G networks are coming onto the scene just in time to fuel these new levels of flexibility.

A Demand for More Powerful Connectivity

Given the impacts of COVID-19 on our personal and professional lives, coupled with the rising ubiquity of 5G, industry analyst firm <a href="https://moorinsightsstrategy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Moor Insights & Strategy</a> predicts that consumers and businesses alike will be more reliant on mobile services than ever before. And Carolina Milanesi at <a href="https://creativestrategies.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Creative Strategies</a> believes 5G will play a big role in catering to this new world of increased digital workflows and entertainment, hybrid work and personal life changes that see many Americans relocating to more rural communities.

The pandemic transformed consumer behavior and expectations. As consumers get out of their homes and become increasingly mobile, they now want connectivity that will enable streaming all day long without any buffering or spinning wheel. They want to listen to stereo quality music without waiting. And they demand high-quality video calls on the go that don’t freeze or drop, web pages that open in the blink of an eye and large files that download in a flash. Today’s consumer wants all of these things faster, and in more places than ever before.

5G is connecting us to our world in powerful new ways that will turn these consumer demands into a reality. And as we look ahead at the proliferation of devices, from fitness wearables for biomedical monitoring to smartglasses that make our screen the world around us, this ability to stay connected on the go is just getting better. Today 5G is beginning to power everything, from connected cars to connected farms, delivering immersive new experiences to consumers, and transforming the way we work.

Good coverage and fast speeds have always mattered in the world of wireless, and for years Verizon and AT&T dominated the landscape. But with the dawn of 5G, and with Sprint now part of T-Mobile, the wireless world is dramatically changing. T-Mobile has built the <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/4g-lte-5g-networks">fastest, largest and most reliable 5G network</a> in the country and is focused on putting it to work for everyone – from unleashing unlimited data and offering choices for home broadband to fueling mobile productivity and creating new innovations.

No need to leave home. Veterans living in rural America can experience the sights and sounds of the Washington D.C. war memorials with VR applications powered by T-Mobile 5G. 

BELLEVUE, Wash. — May 11, 2021 — It’s Military Appreciation Month, and we honor those who have served our country. T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced it is teaming up with Healium to bring a virtual Honor Flight experience to veterans living in small towns across the country, transporting them with the power of Virtual Reality (VR) and 5G to visit the Washington D.C. war memorials from the comfort of their own homes.

There’s no need to travel. T-Mobile and Healium are equipping Honor Flight Network volunteers with VR headsets and Inseego 5G MiFi M2000 hotspots, so our country’s veterans can virtually experience the sights and sounds of the memorials dedicated to them. With T-Mobile Extended Range 5G covering 1.6 million square miles, this toolkit enables volunteers to travel to remote locations, meet with veterans in their homes and run a high-bandwidth VR experience using the T-Mobile 5G network.

From the comfort of their living rooms, veterans are virtually transported to Washington D.C. — just as if they were there in person — where they can tour the war memorials that commemorate their service and honor their fallen comrades. In the virtual tours, veterans can hear the sound of the Rainbow Pool, watch the Changing of the Guard at Arlington National Cemetery, and visit the World War II Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Women in Military Service For America Memorial. There’s even a virtual tour of the USS Nimitz in the Pacific Ocean.

“We are losing our World War II Veterans at a rate of hundreds a day, and sadly many may not live long enough to be able to see their memorials in person,” said Sarah Hill, CEO, Healium. “This is a such a powerful application that can help us reach Veterans, including those living in small towns and remote locations. While nothing is as good as a real, in-person Honor Flight trip, this is a beautiful way to take Veterans there if they’re not able to travel.”

<a href="https://www.tryhealium.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Healium</a> is as an early leader in Mixed Reality solutions designed to improve mental fitness. Since 2015, it has supported the volunteer efforts of Central Missouri <a href="https://www.honorflight.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Honor Flight</a>, a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring those who served and sacrificed for our country. The Honor Flight Network is a national network of independent Hubs, each dedicated to transporting U.S. military veterans to see the Washington, D.C. war memorials at no cost to the veterans.

“5G is the enabler for VR applications that can transport us to new places, giving us immersive experiences that better connect us to our world,” said John Saw, EVP of Advanced & Emerging Technologies at T-Mobile. “We are delighted to team up with Healium and Honor Flight Network to help give back to those who have served our country. With 5GForAll we can bring transformative services such as this to everyone, including those living in rural America.”

Building #5GForAll T-Mobile is America’s 5G leader with the largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network. T-Mobile’s Extended Range 5G covers 295 million people across 1.6 million square miles. That’s 4x more geographic coverage than Verizon and 2x more than AT&T. And with Sprint now part of T-Mobile, the Un-carrier is widening its lead, lighting up Ultra Capacity 5G across the country, bringing fast 5G speeds to more places than anyone else. Ultra Capacity 5G can deliver speeds around 300 Mbps with peaks of 1 Gbps, and now covers 140 million people.

5G unleashes your network to give you more – more movies, music and time spent connecting with friends and family

The word “5G” is everywhere, but like a lot of people today, you might still be wondering what it’s good for. Faster speeds? Yep. Better coverage? Yep, that too. But 5G is also about removing limits imposed by older technologies that have existed for more than a decade.

One of the many remarkable things about 5G is its sheer capacity. 4G LTE is limited to using 20 MHz chunks of spectrum – that’s technical speak for the amount of invisible airwaves that your wireless data runs on. 5G has blown past that limit, allowing chunks of 100 MHz. That’s like going from a single-lane road to a 5-lane superhighway!

With a single lane, traffic has to queue up and wireless providers were forced to create things like on-ramp metering or traffic calming techniques. But with a bigger, higher capacity 5G data highway, we’re able to deliver a lot more data faster. This is why T-Mobile recently launched <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Magenta MAX</a>, the first and only plan of its kind specifically built for a powerful 5G network.

With Magenta MAX, you can’t be slowed down based on how much data you use. And THAT means you can get more from your favorite device – more movies, more music and more time spent connecting with friends and family. Today, nearly 50% of Magenta MAX customers use a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.t-mobile.com/devices/5g-phones" target="_blank">5G smartphone</a>, and they’re using a ton more data – 43% more music, 48% more video and 26% more social media! In addition, MAX customers’ smartphone <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/iot-devices/hotspots" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.t-mobile.com/iot-devices/hotspots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mobile hotspot</a> data usage is up 4x. To put this in more tangible numbers, in the approximately two months since Magenta MAX hit the scene, these customers on average have each listened to the equivalent of 360 more songs, watched 576 more minutes of video and made 1,512 more posts on social media than our other customers.

As the saying goes, ‘if you build it, they will come.’ And in true Un-carrier fashion, T-Mobile is building the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/4g-lte-5g-networks" target="_blank">highest capacity 5G network in the country</a>. That means bigger, faster data highways with a 5G network that has you covered in WAY more places than the competition. And with Magenta MAX you can tap into all the benefits that this supercharged 5G network has to offer. Learn more about available <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/brand/benefits" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">benefits with T-Mobile plans</a>.

Max: Activate up to 4K UHD streaming on capable device, or video typically streams at 480p. Unlimited while on our network. 5G coverage not available in some area; capable device required. Some uses may require certain plan or feature; see T-Mobile.com.

It was just about one year ago that many of us moved out of the office and into the home as the world began to grapple with a global pandemic. Our kids moved into remote learning, and the fatigue of endless video calls set in. People are wired to operate in three dimensions, but this past year more than ever we found ourselves forced into a 2D world.

With <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/5g">5G</a> this is changing fast – and life is just better in 3D. With Mixed Reality and real-time 3D video communications we are watching sports, buying products, exploring new places and interacting with our world in amazing new ways. Businesses are finding better ways to collaborate virtually and increase productivity across a remote workforce.
