Oklahoma City will be one of the first six cities in the country to receive the new AT&T 5G cellular service.

Oklahoma City will join Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina; Dallas; Atlanta; and Waco, Texas in receiving the service this year.

“We're on track to launch the first mobile 5G services and deliver the first device to customers this year," AT&T Technology and Operations President Melissa Arnoldi said. "5G will be more than just a better network. Especially after our trial learnings with large enterprises, small-and-medium sized businesses and residential locations the past two years, we believe 5G will ultimately create a world of new economic opportunity, greater mobility, and smarter connectivity for individuals, businesses and society as a whole.”

Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt believes the service will help local residents and businesses.
