T-Mobile achieves speedy uplink data speed on a test using 5G carrier aggregation
In the test, T-Mobile said that it merged two 5G channels made up of mid-band spectrum (2.5GHz Ultra Capacity 5G and 1900MHz). The carrier compares this to combining two individual highways and turning them into a super highway that allows traffic to “zoom faster than before.” T-Mobile customers with devices that support this technology will start to take advantage of UL (Uplink) 5G carrier aggregation early next year when T-Mobile starts rolling it out.
Ulf Ewaldsson, President of Technology at T-Mobile, said, “T-Mobile has led the industry with 5G standalone since 2020, and we’re continuing to drive breakthroughs that advance 5G technology around the globe. We’re building the most advanced 5G network in the world, opening the door for massive innovation and laying the foundation for new capabilities that will transform the world around us.”
