T-Mobile has begun rolling out four-carrier aggregation for customers, boosting speeds on its 5G standalone (SA) network. 5G SA is the future of wireless, delivering a new level of performance with fast speeds and lower latency. 5G carrier aggregation allows T-Mobile to turbocharge 5G SA speeds, giving customers a performance boost.

T-Mobile announced that it has begun rolling out four-carrier aggregation on its 5G SA network, delivering the capability for insanely fast speeds to customers across the country. Four-carrier aggregation is live in parts of T-Mobile’s network now and will be available nationwide in the coming weeks.

“T-Mobile is blazing the trail for wireless customers around the globe, delivering new capabilities that unleash the true potential of 5G,” says Ulf Ewaldsson, president of technology at T-Mobile. “With the only nationwide 5G standalone network in the country, T-Mobile is the ONLY provider bringing game-changing technologies like four-carrier aggregation to customers across the country.”

The Un-carrier is now merging four 5G channels of sub-6 GHz spectrum two channels of 2.5 GHz ultra capacity 5G, one channel of 1900 MHz and one channel of 600 MHz spectrum. That’s like taking four separate highways and turning them into a superhighway where traffic can zoom faster than before.
