AT&T has taken a bold step forward by expanding its 5G network capacity nationwide. Leveraging new mid-band spectrum acquired from EchoStar, AT&T promises much faster download speeds and improved reliability for customers across the country. This expansion marks a significant milestone in the ongoing race for 5G leadership.
How AT&T’s New Spectrum Integration Boosts 5G Performance
AT&T recently deployed mid-band (3.45 GHz) spectrum from EchoStar to nearly 23,000 cell sites nationwide, a process completed in just a few weeks. This rapid deployment is driving up to 80 percent faster 5G download speeds across 5,300 cities in 48 states. By integrating this spectrum, AT&T’s network now offers enhanced speed and capacity for customers, improving experiences for both 5G mobility and AT&T Internet Air users.
Nationwide Improvements for Wireless and Home Internet Users
With the newly added spectrum, customers will benefit from:
- More capacity for streaming, gaming, and AI-powered apps
- Broader home internet options with increased reliability
- Up to 55 percent faster download speeds for AT&T Internet Air
AT&T’s converged services model, offering both wireless and home internet, is now more attractive to households nationwide. The integration also enhances FirstNet for first responders, delivering always-on priority and preemption across all AT&T spectrum bands.
Investment in 5G Infrastructure Sets AT&T Apart from Rivals
AT&T highlights its substantial and ongoing investment in U.S. telecommunications infrastructure. With more capital invested over the past five years than any other competitor, AT&T claims a clear lead over T-Mobile and Verizon in network capabilities. This aggressive approach to network upgrades and acquisitions solidifies AT&T’s position in delivering both the fastest and most reliable wireless network experience available.
In summary, AT&T’s swift deployment of new spectrum is reshaping the competitive landscape of high-speed connectivity in the U.S. Customers can expect stronger, faster, and more reliable 5G experiences, whether at home, work, or on the go. With ongoing investment and innovation, AT&T continues to set the standard for wireless and broadband excellence across the nation.
