T-Mobile is getting ready for the 5G movement. The carrier announced some of its plans earlier today to develop and implement a nationwide 5G network. Here’s what we know thus far about what’s to come in the few years.

A few days ago, AT&T announced details pertaining to plans of their own in regard to the ‘5G Evolution’, but this isn’t real 5G connectivity. T-Mobile CEO, John Legere, has spoken behind Magenta’s plans for actual 5G, not to be associated with what AT&T discussed in a recent blog post.

T-Mobile plans to go all-in over the next several years with its investment in 600 MHz spectrum that will deliver 5G nationwide. The carrier is looking to do big things in the network space with its deployment of 5G service, which may perhaps bridge the gap between it and rivals such as Verizon and AT&T. Unlike the two, T-Mobile reported positive results for its ninth straight quarter last week, so things are looking up for them.

We’re still a ways away from having reliable 5G, which is expected to bring network speeds that are double as fast as the one’s most of us currently use. T-Mobile will ensure this high bandwidth in a number of areas to start, consisting of most major U.S. cities that will use mid-band and millimeter wave spectrum.

T-Mobile’s developments have remained on course for the predicted rollout said to begin during the 2019 calendar year. There will be lots more to hear about between now and then.
