Here’s the scoop … T-Mobile dishes out the best 5G coverage across the country. It’s the fastest. It’s the most reliable. And it’s by FAR the largest! In fact, our 5G network covers nearly 2x more square miles than AT&T and 4x more than Verizon. Here’s what that looks like in ice cream:

Because it’s hot out, and because sharing is caring, we took our ice cream to the beach. The North Avenue Beach in Chicago, to be specific. The people had a choice: 4 scoops for an order of Berry Fast 5G (us, of course), 2 scoops for Basic Blue (aka AT&T) and 1 scoop for Last-Place Licorice (aka Verizon).

Here’s some more 5G network scoop for you:

We recently raised a glass of <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/ultra-capacity-5gin-extended-range-5ginger-beer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">T-Mobile 5Gin</a> to our Extended Range 5G now covering 300 million people. That seems like a lot of people, because it is a lot of people — nearly everyone in the country.  And here’s something even sweeter:  we reached that milestone months ahead of schedule.

But don’t just take our word that we have the largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network.

New independent data from Opensignal shows T-Mobile customers got the fastest 5G download and upload speeds (meaning you can get and send things faster). Plus, our 5G connection is the <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/opensignal-july2021-fastest-5g-availability-coverage" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">most available</a>, meaning you get that awesome 5G connection more than anyone else.

And, new data from Ookla®, a network intelligence provider, confirmed that T-Mobile customers get the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/ookla-july2021-5g-fastest-availability-coverage" target="_blank">fastest</a> 5G speeds and spend more time connected to 5G than customers on any other network.

It’s pretty clear that our 5G melts away the competition.

We also want to dish out a 5G-sized thanks to <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.shawnmichelles.com/" target="_blank">Shawn Michelle’s</a> <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.shawnmichelles.com/" target="_blank">Homemade Ice Cream</a> and owners Nataki and Yahya Muhammad. Their artisan ice cream is so good, it’s no surprise that they’ve been recognized locally. After several servings of Berry Fast 5G, we can see why!

For the 6th time this year, a third-party network report shows T-Mobile is leading in 5G, with customers getting the fastest 5G speeds and spending the most time connected to 5G. 

BELLEVUE, Wash. — July 15, 2021 — This just in: yet another network report confirms T-Mobile’s 5G leadership. <a href="https://www.speedtest.net/global-index/united-states#market-analysis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New data released today from network intelligence provider Ookla®</a> shows T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) customers get the fastest 5G speeds and spend more time connected to 5G than customers on any other network. It’s simple — fastest 5G speeds + most 5G coverage = the 5G network you want to be on.

“T-Mobile customers are the clear winners coming out of these network reports, with unmatched 5G coverage and 5G speeds that keep getting faster,” said Neville Ray, President of Technology at T-Mobile. “Our differentiated 5G strategy of first building a foundation of coverage and then adding a deep layer of speed with Ultra Capacity 5G focuses on what matters most for customers – coverage and speed. This is how you build a 5G network the right way and this is why T-Mobile is the leader in 5G.”   T-Mobile won or tied for first in every nationwide mobile category of Ookla’s latest report. In addition to being #1 on 5G speed and availability, the latest Ookla data also shows T-Mobile customers get the fastest and most consistent overall network speeds nationwide and have one of the fastest network response times (latency). Which means no matter how you slice it, T-Mobile’s network is just plain fast. This is the second quarter in a row Ookla has named T-Mobile 5G fastest and most available. According to Ookla’s report, T-Mobile’s median 5G download speeds increased more than 21% during the second quarter and now reach nearly 100 Mbps. And they will only continue getting faster. This is T-Mobile’s 5G strategy at work — cover nearly everyone in the country with far reaching 5G then layer on the capacity and super-fast speeds. Ookla’s report results come from real wireless customer’s devices and their real-world testing of network performance every day across the country. Millions of data samples were collected using Ookla’s Speedtest® application to show how the networks perform in all the places where people live, work and play.

Largest, Fastest and Most Reliable 5G Network Third-party network reports continue to show T-Mobile’s 5G network is miles ahead of the competition. In addition to Ookla’s latest findings, just this week <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/opensignal-july2021-fastest-5g-availability-coverage" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Opensignal</a> also confirmed T-Mobile 5G delivers the fastest speeds and a 5G signal more often and in more places than anyone else. Plus, recent tests by research firm <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/umlaut-most-reliable-5g" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">umlaut</a> also show T-Mobile customers get the most reliable 5G in the U.S.

After blanketing the country in 5G, T-Mobile continues to layer on the capacity and speed. T-Mobile’s Extended Range 5G spans 1.6 million square miles and covers <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/ultra-capacity-5gin-extended-range-5ginger-beer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">300 million people</a> – nearly everyone in the country. And 150 million of those people are covered with Ultra Capacity 5G, which can deliver download speeds of 350 mbps with peaks up to 1 Gbps.

Another independent network report by Opensignal confirms T-Mobile has the fastest 5G speeds and delivers a 5G signal more often and in more places than anyone else.

BELLEVUE, Wash. — July 13, 2021 — The bigger and faster 5G network is at T-Mobile, and we have the data to prove it. New independent data <a href="https://www.opensignal.com/reports/2021/07/usa/mobile-network-experience-5g">published today from Opensignal</a>, based on real world customer usage from millions of device measurements, shows T-Mobile customers get the fastest 5G download and upload speeds and get a 5G connection more often than anyone else. And the Un-carrier’s 5G network just keeps getting better, piling on more speed and coverage to the country’s largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network.

“Independent network reports continue to show T-Mobile is the best choice for speedy and reliable 5G coverage across the country,” said Neville Ray, President of Technology at T-Mobile. “We built T-Mobile’s 5G network with broad coverage, high capacity and low latency to fuel innovation and bring transformative 5G experiences to customers. This is how you build the best 5G network in the country, and we’re just getting started.”

When we say the Un-carrier is piling on the 5G speed, we mean it! Opensignal’s report shows T-Mobile customers’ average 5G download speeds increased by nearly 23 percent in just 3 months and over 50 percent since the beginning of the year. And this is the third time in a row Opensignal awarded T-Mobile 5G as fastest and most available. In addition to Opensignal’s latest 5G findings, it also <a href="https://www.opensignal.com/reports/2021/07/usa/mobile-network-experience">found</a> T-Mobile delivers the best 4G Availability and the fastest Upload Speed Experience, so whether customers are on LTE or 5G, they’re covered with a far reaching and speedy network. Opensignal’s independent reports and insights are based on measurements of real experience. Its approach relies solely upon billions of device measurements shared by millions of real users every day – recorded in all the places where people actually live, work and travel.

People need a dependable and fast wireless connection that works when and how they need it, and T-Mobile’s 5G delivers just that. With the largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network, T-Mobile’s 5G covers 300 million people – nearly everyone in the country. And it covers 92 percent of <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/ready-for-a-road-trip">Interstate Highway miles</a> across America compared to just 68 percent for AT&T and 51 percent for Verizon. So while customers are on the road, T-Mobile delivers the most consistent 5G connectivity for uninterrupted music streaming, video calls, real-time navigation and more on their interstate road trip. And T-Mobile continues lighting up Ultra Capacity 5G across the country to bring super-fast 5G speeds to more places than anyone else. Ultra Capacity 5G already covers 150 million people and can deliver average download speeds of 350 Mbps with peaks up to 1 Gbps, and T-Mobile is on track to deploy it nationwide covering 200 million people by end of year while competitors will only just be getting started with mid-band 5G.

Only T-Mobile customers get the fastest, largest and most reliable 5G network — but don’t just take our word for it, the independent network results speak for themselves!

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>.

tmobile-blocks/wistia-thumbnail

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>.

Whether you’re tuning up your vehicle for the road trip you’ve been dreaming about or are ready to leave your home and see the world, here’s how your phone can help make summer travel a breeze.

After 15 long months of pandemic-related restrictions, the warm weather has brought a newly opened country — as well as a new era of summer travel. Over <a href="https://tripadvisor.mediaroom.com/2021-04-20-Travel-is-Heating-Up-Two-Thirds-of-Americans-Planning-Summer-Vacations#:~:text=Over%20two%2Dthirds%20of%20Americans,March%201%2D%20May%2031).&text=Although%20many%20still%20plan%20to,up%204%25%20from%20this%20spring." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">two-thirds of Americans</a> (67%) are planning to travel this summer, which is a 17% increase from those who traveled earlier this spring. Millennials seem to be the most excited, with 72% of the generation already planning trips according to Trip Advisor’s 2021 Summer Travel Index. Although many still plan to drive to their destination (43%), 19% plan to fly. The majority of Americans (74%) will take a domestic trip, while 13% will still travel internationally.

Road trippers are clearly eager to get out of the house and into nature, with millions of Americans <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/priceline-national-road-trip-day-survey-reveals-seven-in-10-americans-want-to-take-a-road-trip-this-summer-to-escape-their-quaranteam-301292685.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">planning</a> to gas up their vehicles. But with such high demand — along with a move toward a “hybrid” work model — the great American road trip will look much different this year.

As for those digging out their passports and spending hours on their favorite flight search engine (and dusting off that handy <a href="https://www.ricksteves.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick Steves</a> guide!), many vaccinated Americans <a href="https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-europe-travel-coronavirus-vaccine-health-83594cbef7ac77a7522210f990a6aeff" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">can now visit Europe</a> and other international destinations, even though travel abroad will also look very different this year.

Of course, this means the summer road trip and coveted international vacation is back! Which is great news, especially for T-Mobile customers.

So, from scoring hotel reservations and keeping track of local restrictions, to booking a last-minute table at a European hot spot, here are some tips for how your device can help you navigate the new normal — the next normal — of globetrotting or making the most of your domestic road trip this summer.

core/heading

With COVID-19 restrictions and local safety guidelines varying widely by state, you’ll want the most up-to-date information relevant to where you’ll be traveling. For domestic trips, websites like the USA Today’s <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/storytelling/coronavirus-reopening-america-map/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">COVID Map</a> and the <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention</a> provide easy access to real-time updates on COVID restrictions across the country.

Safety protocols also vary widely by country, and apps like <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://covidcontrols.co/traveller-entry" target="_blank">COVID Controls</a> offer easy access to real-time updates on COVID restrictions and entry requirements across the globe. The COVID Controls app even allows you to customize your trip, giving you information on your destination country’s current protocols based on your country of origin. A number of<a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/06/02/1025633/seven-eu-countries-just-got-a-digital-vaccine-passport/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> countries in the EU</a> have also adopted a digital vaccine passport ahead of an initiative to have all 27 member states join this summer, and uses a digital green certificate in the form of a QR code that can be stored on a device.

Check these out before you hit the road if you’re planning on crossing state lines or before you book that international flight.

Although restaurants across the country have opened their doors to the public, many are still running at low capacities in a number of states like New York and California. Additionally, a shortage of hospitality workers has caused restaurants to limit the number of customers they can serve each night. If you didn’t plan ahead for your domestic travel and book dining reservations in advance, apps like <a href="https://www.opentable.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Open Table</a> and <a href="https://resy.com/?date=2021-06-11&seats=2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Resy</a> can help you score a last-minute table after a long day on the road.

And although many countries in Europe have opened their doors to vaccinated American tourists, restaurants are still running at low capacities in a number of hot spots like Italy and Spain. Apps like <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.thefork.com/" target="_blank">The Fork</a> can help you score a last-minute table after a long day of wandering the streets of Rome or Barcelona if you forgot to do so in advance. And if you need to ask that foodie friend for a recommendation, don’t forget with T-Mobile’s <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/plans">Magenta and Magenta MAX plans</a> you get unlimited texting and data <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/roaming">while roaming</a> to over 200 countries internationally. Not to mention, if you do decide to hop on a flight and want to do a little last minute research on your destination while in the air, T-Mobile’s Magenta plans offer in-flight text messaging plus Wi-Fi on Gogo-enabled flights.

So much of life on the road is about aimlessly wandering from place to place in search of your next adventure. It’s that game-time call to push on to a new city or pull into a charming little town you’ve never heard of for the night. And similarly, so much of international travel is about the spur of the moment decision to hop on a train or keep your alpine road trip going for a few more days. Need a place to stay at the drop of a hat? Apps like <a href="https://www.hoteltonight.com/?utm_campaign=google_desktop_us-english_brand_exact&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign_id=1495933104&utm_adgroup=95550526069&utm_targetid=kwd-2819026105&utm_feeditemid=&utm_creative=hotel%20tonight&utm_matchtype=e&utm_loc_physical_ms=9021321&utm_loc_interest_ms=&utm_adposition=&utm_ad_id=433168380655&utm_device=c&utm_network=g&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8IaGBhCHARIsAGIRRYrMBAG0Tv2FO-2-jxUuFPCBfll2BBzNtZSHoZ9PkJO6_gS0ctjkCKcaAhCWEALw_wcB" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hotel Tonight</a> offer deals on last-minute hotel bookings, helping you find a place to get some rest after an epic day of exploration.

Even better: Are you a T-Mobile customer? Great! Access the new <a href="https://hotels.tmobiletravel.com/th/home/en/">T-Mobile TRAVEL</a> to save up to 40% on select accommodations and car rentals.

For domestic travelers on road trips to a city this summer, it’s worth checking to see if the city has an attraction pass — usually a digital ticket that lets you bundle attractions to make the most out of your visit.

T-Mobile eclipses expectations, already covering 300 million people in the U.S. with 5G … WAY ahead of schedule Like only they would, T-Mobile is merging technology with mixology to celebrate the country’s largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network

Just like T-Mobile’s 5G network, the limited edition 5Ginger Beer went fast! We’re sold out, but don’t worry 5Gin is still available!   BELLEVUE, Wash. — June 23, 2021 — It’s 5G o’clock somewhere. T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) and Sprint came together with the perfect blend of capacity, coverage and relentless Un-carrier spirit to build the country’s largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network. Now, T-Mobile’s Extended Range 5G covers 300 million people months ahead of schedule — nearly everyone in the country — and Ultra Capacity 5G covers 150 million! To celebrate, T-Mobile has bottled the Un-carrier spirit as an actual spirit: Ultra Capacity 5Gin. And because #5GforAll, there’s even a non-alcoholic Extended Range 5Ginger Beer. Starting tomorrow June 24 at 12 pm PT, visit <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://t-mobile5gin.com/" data-type="URL" target="_blank"></a><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://t-mobile5gin.com/" data-type="URL" target="_blank">t-mobile5gin.com</a> to order your very own bottle of 5Gin or six pack of 5Ginger Beer. Limited quantities are available, and just like T-Mobile’s 5G network, they’re gonna go fast. Salut! “Last year, when we said we’d cover 300 million people with 5G by the end of 2021, people thought we were crazy. Now, we’ve blown by that goal SIX MONTHS ahead of schedule, and we won’t stop building the nation’s largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network,” said Mike Sievert CEO of T-Mobile. “Now, we’re gonna celebrate in a way ONLY T-Mobile would — by bottling the Un-carrier spirit. Yes, you heard that right. And as we begin to get back to all the things we have missed, it's time for a celebratory toast with 5Gin and 5Ginger Beer. You know the GIF from The Great Gatsby? That's me right now. Cheers!”

T-Mobile is no stranger to shaking and stirring the competition while building a 5G network with coverage and performance the others just can’t match. The Un-carrier’s 5G now covers 300 million people with Extended Range 5G! T-Mobile’s Ultra Capacity 5G is expanding at an incredible pace and now covers 150 million people across the country, with plans to cover 200 million people nationwide this year. Ultra Capacity 5G can deliver blazing fast 5G speeds in more places than anyone else, with average download speeds of 325 Mbps with peaks of 1 Gbps, while Extended Range 5G is great for blanketing the country including rural and remote areas. T-Mobile’s 5G network spans 1.6 million square miles — that’s nearly 2x more coverage than AT&T and 4x more than Verizon — and the Un-carrier keeps widening its lead.

If the last year taught us anything, it’s that connectivity is critical … and, we could all use a drink. So, to help budding mixologists, T-Mobile published a set of recipes <a href="https://t-mobile5gin.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">online</a> including a magenta riff on a classic, the 5G & T, as well as a Magenta Martini, a non-alcoholic 5Ginger Mule and more. So you can stay connected and refreshed with your favorite cocktail or mocktail during your next virtual or in-person happy hour.

To create Ultra Capacity 5Gin, T-Mobile joined forces with <a href="https://heritagedistilling.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Heritage Distilling Company</a>, a majority women-owned Pacific Northwest business, one of the country’s top premier craft distilleries and the most awarded in North America by the American Distilling Institute for the past seven years. Offered in a striking, premium black bottle, 5Gin uses Heritage’s award-winning Elk Rider Gin and includes a distinctive combination of botanicals crafted through a special field-to-flask distillation process — an experience that reflects the uncompromising commitment to quality that T-Mobile and Heritage share. 5Gin is available for $30 per bottle not including shipping or taxes, and availability varies based on differing state regulations and logistics.

To ensure everyone can get a taste of 5G, the Un-carrier also partnered with <a href="https://www.jonessoda.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jones Soda Co.</a>, a popular craft soda maker also in the Pacific Northwest, to launch Extended Range 5Ginger Beer, a premium and versatile non-alcoholic brew that tastes great on its own or as the foundation to your favorite cocktail or mocktail. Just like T-Mobile’s Extended Range 5G, 5Ginger Beer is widely available — so practically anyone can get in on the celebration. 5Ginger Beer is available across the contiguous U.S. and comes in a six pack for $10, plus the cost of shipping and taxes.

Visit <a href="https://t-mobile5gin.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">t-mobile5gin.com</a> for more information. Orders for 5Gin and 5Ginger Beer begin tomorrow, June 24, at 12 pm PT, and remember to act fast as limited quantities are available.

T-Mobile eclipses expectations, already covering 300 million people in the U.S. with 5G … WAY ahead of schedule Like only they would, T-Mobile is merging technology with mixology to celebrate the country’s largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network

T-Mobile adds preemption along with priority network access, so first responders with  WPS (Wireless Priority Service) get unmatched network access in an emergency

BELLEVUE, Wash. — June 17, 2021 — We count on first responders … and they can count on us, with America’s largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network. Today, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS), America’s 5G leader, announced important new upgrades to the company’s groundbreaking Connecting Heroes program, a 10-year commitment to provide free service and 5G access to first responder agencies — all public and non-profit state and local fire, 911, police and EMS departments — saving them up to $7 billion.

First, T-Mobile is adding preemption so that alongside the highest capacity 5G network in the nation and priority network access, First Responder agencies are assured unmatched network access to help their critical communications. That means <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/business/resources/wireless-priority-service-wps" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wireless Priority Service (WPS)-enrolled</a> first responder agencies with Connecting Heroes plans have both priority access AND preemption for both voice calls and data. So not only do first responders get to the front of the line at T-Mobile, but if the network ever becomes crowded in an emergency, non-emergency traffic drops to make way for first responders’ critical communications.

Second, T-Mobile announced it will offer its first set of rugged devices — including the new MG90 5G rugged router from Sierra Wireless available now, and two new Cat phones: Cat S62 and a rugged Cat flip phone — available first at T-Mobile this summer. In addition, T-Mobile announced it is adding more Connecting Heroes plan options to the existing Free and $15 plans that were launched last year. Starting June 23, first responder agencies will have three new paid Connecting Heroes 5G plan options that include unlimited talk, text and data as well as ample <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">hotspot</a> and a Samsung 5G phone at no additional cost.

“We launched Connecting Heroes last year so that first responders would no longer have to choose between funding life-saving equipment or wireless communication. At T-Mobile, first responder calls get through first and that could make the difference in an emergency when making life-saving decisions,” said Mike Katz, EVP of T-Mobile for Business. “First responders risk it all for us, and we feel it’s our duty to support them with our incredible service at the lowest cost — even free.”

Highest Capacity 5G Network Together with Priority Access and Preemption T-Mobile’s Nationwide 5G is a game-changer for first responders who need fast speeds, high capacity and low latency. Other networks claim to deliver 5G but mostly rely on <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.cnet.com/tags/4g-lte/" target="_blank">4G LTE</a> or Wi-Fi. As America’s 5G leader, 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> over the next five years with new dedicated spectrum. And it covers 92 percent of <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/ready-for-a-road-trip" target="_blank">Interstate Highway miles across America</a> vs just 68 percent for AT&T and 51 percent for Verizon.

All that capacity means T-Mobile has you covered — literally — and a 600MHz signal — the foundation of T-Mobile’s 5G network — means better coverage … and that’s especially important to rural emergency organizations. “It’s just a great network, and the customer service is incredible,” said Andrew Surritt, Chief, Executive Director at Rescue 101 Search and Rescue in South Salem, Ohio. “We’re aiming to move more devices to our T-Mobile account soon, because the service has been so great.”

All of this is in addition to T-Mobile’s multi-year network hardening plan, making sure the network is ready for all types of <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/community/2021-hurricane-season" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">emergencies and natural disasters</a>. T-Mobile is investing in constant testing and improvements to our network’s backup and response systems including thousands of generators; advanced relief and recovery tools; and coordination and mobilization plans for supporting customers and their communities in times of natural disasters. In addition, the T-Mobile Network Operations Centers (NOCs) run 24/7 during natural disasters, allowing our experienced technicians and engineers to monitor our network traffic demands and weather impacts in real time.

Rugged Devices And for those who rely on critical communications in a wide variety of locations and conditions, T-Mobile now offers its first rugged Sierra Wireless 5G router, the MG90 5G, perfect for in vehicle/trunk mounting on first responder vehicles. Delivering 5G connectivity for mission-critical needs, the AirLink® MG90 5G is a high-performance vehicle router, purpose built to provide secure, always-on connectivity for mission critical applications in public safety, transit and field services. With extensible multi-network connectivity, the MG90 offers Dual Radios, dual concurrent gigabit-capable Wi-Fi and gigabit-capable ethernet, with extensions to Land Mobile Radio (LMR) and satellite systems.

Also available first and exclusively at T-Mobile at launch, are two new rugged phones: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H62kAXFTtco" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cat S62 coming this summer</a> and a rugged Cat flip phone to soon follow. These devices exceed US military standards for high and low temperature, thermal shocks, salt mist conditions, vibration and tumble tests. The Cat S62 features a superbright 5.7" display that is protected by scratch and shatter-resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass 6. It is optimized for outdoor use with wet-finger or glove-on working technology. Plus, it comes equipped with a large and powerful battery that lasts up to two days in the field without needing to recharge. And stay tuned for more rugged phones coming to T-Mobile’s lineup later this year. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H62kAXFTtco"></a>

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 – 4x the geographic coverage of Verizon and 2x 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 and bringing fast 5G speeds to more places than anyone else. Ultra Capacity 5G delivers average speeds of 325 Mbps with peaks of 1 Gbps, and now covers 140 million people with plans to reach 200 million by the end of the year.

Since launching Connecting Heroes over a year ago as part of #5GforGood, first responder agencies and departments around the country have enjoyed the benefits of free unlimited 5G service. T-Mobile also offers great plans for individual first responders and their families — Magenta First Responder. With 50% off family lines compared to Magenta, Magenta First Responder delivers the best discount in wireless for individual first responders and their families.

What’s the news: T-Mobile’s 5G network covers 92 percent of Interstate Highway miles across America vs just 68 percent for AT&T and 51 percent for Verizon, according to new data from network intelligence provider, Ookla®.

Why it matters: With more Americans traveling this summer — <a href="https://tripadvisor.mediaroom.com/2021-04-20-Travel-is-Heating-Up-Two-Thirds-of-Americans-Planning-Summer-Vacations">most by road</a> — T-Mobile’s 5G network is poised to deliver the most consistent 5G connectivity for uninterrupted music streaming, video calls, real-time navigation and more on your interstate road trip. What else would you expect from the country’s largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network?!

Who it’s for:  Anyone planning to (finally) hit the road this summer!

BELLEVUE, Wash. — June 15, 2021 — Getting there is half the fun … especially with 5G! T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) announced today it now covers 92 percent of Interstate Highway miles in the US with 5G — significantly more than both Verizon and AT&T — giving families the connectivity to keep gaming, snapping, TikToking and more at 5G speeds as they finally get back to traveling the country.

While all major providers cover more than 99 percent of Interstate Highway miles with LTE, 5G is a radically different story. According to Ookla Speedtest Intelligence® data and advertised coverage from competitors, T-Mobile’s 5G network has a massive lead over other networks, covering 92 percent of all Interstate Highway miles in the U.S. AT&T is a distant second at 68 percent and if you squint really hard, you’ll see Verizon in the rear-view mirror at just 51 percent.

So, while you’ve got your maps out for all that trip planning, here are a few more to consider:

“We’re more than ready to get into some long-awaited summer fun on the roads, and with T-Mobile 5G, we’ve got you covered on those highways across the country,” said Neville Ray, President of Technology at T-Mobile. “When you’ve got T-Mobile 5G, you’ve got the largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network … so you’re covered at home, work, school, your favorite vacation spot, and on the roads in between. There’s one choice for reliable 5G connectivity on the go — and that’s T-Mobile.”

All this coverage is great news for Americans ready to get a change of scenery and travel the country, as pandemic-related restrictions ease up. A recent <a href="https://www.tripit.com/web/blog/news-culture/summer-vacation-forecast-air-travel-road-trips.html">survey</a> shows 92 percent of Americans are confident they’ll finally be ready for a road trip by September. And T-Mobile customers already kicked off the summer travel season in force this Memorial Day weekend: the number of customers who traveled 100 miles or more DOUBLED over the same time last year, and there was an 80 percent increase in those who traveled 50 miles or more.

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. And with Sprint now part of T-Mobile, the Un-carrier is widening its lead, lighting up Ultra Capacity 5G across the country and bringing fast 5G speeds to more places than anyone else. Ultra Capacity 5G delivers average speeds of 325 Mbps with peaks of 1 Gbps, and now covers 140 million people with plans to reach 200 million by the end of the year.
