T-Mobile operator launches "independent Ultra Capacity 5G": claims to be as fast as 3Gbps, Samsung S22 has a fresh taste

CTOnews.com, November 19 / PRNewswire-FirstCall-Asianet /-- Last summer, US carrier T-Mobile released the results of production network tests, showing that 5G independence (5G SA) combined with carrier aggregation (NR CA) can provide up to 3Gbps speeds. Now, the operator has officially launched the "independent Ultra Capacity 5G" network service.

T-Mobile said it took the only national sexual 5G SA network to a new level, lighting up the Ultra Capacity 5G on the national 5G SA. The move will release faster speeds for customers across the country, while further reducing latency in the network with lower latency and improving application experiences such as games that require near real-time response.

T-Mobile believes that 5G has had a "meaningful impact" on its customers when it comes to smartphones, home Internet and disaster response, "but we have only touched the tip of 5G".

Although T-Mobile claims to achieve the high speed of 3Gbps, don't expect to experience this speed on 5G devices everywhere or on the network.

CTOnews.com learned that T-Mobile pointed out that the speed of the 5G SA will first apply to the Samsung Galaxy S22 series of phones. "in the next few weeks, it will be extended to other devices in the near future."

T-Mobile has yet to share details, and in addition to the maximum 3Gbps test speed, the expected performance improvement in actual use remains to be seen. But T-Mobile will be the first operator to use the if spectrum to provide as fast or faster performance as 5G millimeter waves.
