What’s the news

It's official – T-Mobile's 5G network is live in Reynoldsville.

Why it matters

5G has been all the talk in wireless and now it’s a reality in Reynoldsville. Faster speeds in the near-term and significant economic opportunities down the road.

Who it’s for

Technology enthusiasts, business owners, farmers, first responders, innovators, early adopters… really, anyone who has or wants a smartphone.
 

 T-Mobile's making another big step in its nationwide 5G rollout, officially lighting up Reynoldsville and the surrounding area. Residents and businesses in the greater Reynoldsville area with 5G-capable smartphones can now get faster data speeds and better wireless coverage, especially indoors. Starting today, T-Mobile's also bringing three more 5G-capable devices to our portfolio that take advantage of our nationwide 5G network – the Samsung Galaxy S20 5G, the Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G and the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G.

"We've been building toward this day for a really long time. Professionally, it’s incredibly rewarding to bring the community a technology that has the potential to close the Digital Divide and level the playing field for rural America," said Jim Kidd, director of network technology for T-Mobile. "Today marks the beginning, not the end. As we add more cell sites and continue to build out our 5G network in Reynoldsville, the wireless experience is only going to get better.”

The very heart of wireless service is based on spectrum, invisible highways in the atmosphere that transport voice and data from a phone to a cell site. This first nationwide 5G rollout from T-Mobile, and the network in Reynoldsville, is based on a spectrum band called 600 MHz, also referred to as low-band spectrum. It provides the foundational layer for T-Mobile’s 5G network. Download speeds on T-Mobile’s 5G on 600 MHz will be around 20% faster than LTE on average to start and that experience will improve exponentially over time, just like with 4G.

If the pending merger with Sprint closes, in the coming months and years New T-Mobile will build upon this foundational 5G layer with mid-band and high-band spectrum that will add capacity, or more “lanes” using the invisible highway analogy, for greater speeds and better coverage. And, the new Samsung Galaxy S20 devices are future-proofed to access that spectrum for 5G as well. Only this combination of T-Mobile and Sprint will deliver a 5G network with both breadth and depth, something the other carriers simply cannot do as quickly. The stakes are high for the U.S. as billions in economic growth and jobs are expected to come from 5G and the innovations it will unleash.
