Well, that was fast. Even though T-Mobile vaguely announced back in May that its standalone 5G launch would take place “later this year”, following that up with a more aggressive but similarly imprecise “later this quarter” timeline less than a couple of weeks ago, the big day has already arrived.
A long list of incredible achievements and impressive firsts
What is standalone 5G and why is it so important?
Even if you don’t know the first thing about the excessively confusing and rapidly evolving 5G industry, the answer to the latter question seems pretty easy to guess based on T-Mobile’s newest coverage feats. But apart from improving availability by allowing the “Un-carrier” to “unleash its entire 600 MHz footprint for 5G”, the groundbreaking technology is expected to bring 5G “closer to reaching its true potential with faster speeds and lower latency”… eventually.
