With a crazy fast deployment of a nationwide LTE footprint and coverage that reaches over 309 million Americans, El Paso is the latest area to benefit from T-Mobile’s best in-building coverage offering. __Extended Range LTE Coverage__ T-Mobile has been furiously rolling out new spectrum that carries the LTE signal twice as far from towers than other types of spectrum, for a massive coverage expansion – plus it’s four times better in buildings than before. In the past year, T-Mobile has deployed airwaves known as 700 MHz nationwide including cities such as Los Angeles, Boston, and Miami so you can use your compatible phone to get great 700 MHz coverage while visiting friends and family in those cities. Extended Range LTE also enhances coverage in other areas already served by our strong 4G LTE network, so T-Mobile LTE customers there can experience better coverage in suburban and rural areas because the signal reaches further and penetrates deeper than before. So whether you are enjoying a night out at the Don Haskins Center or taking in a game at Southwest University Park -- your coverage doesn’t have to be sacrificed. Customers with 700 MHz-compatible devices can already see the benefits.
