The Un-carrier celebrates America’s hometown pride — because many of us were raised with it.

tmobile-blocks/subhead

core/paragraph

Small towns and rural communities are essential to our national identity. Whether rural and remote or suburban and growing, America's hometowns are the fertile ground where millions of Americans put down roots, stretch their legs and live their dreams.

From coast to coast, hometown pride holds America together, and T-Mobile is proud to join in.

We recently <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/un-carrier/t-mobiles-next-un-carrier-move-5gforall">announced our latest Un-carrier move</a>. We call it 5G for All. With it, we’re rolling out America’s most expansive 5G network, spanning 1.6 million square miles — with 1.45 million of that coverage in <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/un-carrier/betting-big-on-brick-and-mortar-small-town-rural">small town America</a> — an area the size of the entire Midwest … plus Texas!

AND we’re bringing high speed internet to 10 million households in small towns and rural areas across the country, many that currently have limited access to broadband or none at all. We’re also offering to upgrade everyone in America with a working cellphone to a <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/offers/deals-hub">5G phone FOR FREE</a>! Because we mean it when we say #5GForAll.

Team Magenta has a lot of hometown pride - and that's particularly true for our leadership team, many of whom come from unsung places across America. With all the support we get from the farthest corners of the country, we figured we'd give some back. Below you'll find shout-outs from some of our executives to the hometowns that raised them. As you can see, we're literally all over the map with a lot of love for our roots.

No need to leave home. Veterans living in rural America can experience the sights and sounds of the Washington D.C. war memorials with VR applications powered by T-Mobile 5G. 

BELLEVUE, Wash. — May 11, 2021 — It’s Military Appreciation Month, and we honor those who have served our country. T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced it is teaming up with Healium to bring a virtual Honor Flight experience to veterans living in small towns across the country, transporting them with the power of Virtual Reality (VR) and 5G to visit the Washington D.C. war memorials from the comfort of their own homes.

There's no need to travel. T-Mobile and Healium are equipping Honor Flight Network volunteers with VR headsets and Inseego 5G MiFi M2000 hotspots, so our country's veterans can virtually experience the sights and sounds of the memorials dedicated to them. With T-Mobile Extended Range 5G covering 1.6 million square miles, this toolkit enables volunteers to travel to remote locations, meet with veterans in their homes and run a high-bandwidth VR experience using the T-Mobile 5G network.

From the comfort of their living rooms, veterans are virtually transported to Washington D.C. - just as if they were there in person - where they can tour the war memorials that commemorate their service and honor their fallen comrades. In the virtual tours, veterans can hear the sound of the Rainbow Pool, watch the Changing of the Guard at Arlington National Cemetery, and visit the World War II Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Women in Military Service For America Memorial. There's even a virtual tour of the USS Nimitz in the Pacific Ocean.

"We are losing our World War II Veterans at a rate of hundreds a day, and sadly many may not live long enough to be able to see their memorials in person," said Sarah Hill, CEO, Healium. "This is a such a powerful application that can help us reach Veterans, including those living in small towns and remote locations. While nothing is as good as a real, in-person Honor Flight trip, this is a beautiful way to take Veterans there if they're not able to travel."

<a href="https://www.tryhealium.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Healium</a> is as an early leader in Mixed Reality solutions designed to improve mental fitness. Since 2015, it has supported the volunteer efforts of Central Missouri <a href="https://www.honorflight.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Honor Flight</a>, a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring those who served and sacrificed for our country. The Honor Flight Network is a national network of independent Hubs, each dedicated to transporting U.S. military veterans to see the Washington, D.C. war memorials at no cost to the veterans.

"5G is the enabler for VR applications that can transport us to new places, giving us immersive experiences that better connect us to our world," said John Saw, EVP of Advanced & Emerging Technologies at T-Mobile. "We are delighted to team up with Healium and Honor Flight Network to help give back to those who have served our country. With 5GForAll we can bring transformative services such as this to everyone, including those living in rural America."

Building #5GForAll T-Mobile is America's 5G leader with the largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network. T-Mobile's Extended Range 5G covers 295 million people across 1.6 million square miles. That's 4x more geographic coverage than Verizon and 2x more than AT&T. And with Sprint now part of T-Mobile, the Un-carrier is widening its lead, lighting up Ultra Capacity 5G across the country, bringing fast 5G speeds to more places than anyone else. 5G de ultracapacidad puede ofrecer velocidades de aproximadamente 300 Mbps con picos de hasta 1 Gbps, y actualmente cubre a 140 millones de personas.

Incredible and innovative 5G products and services are quickly being built, and they require a 5G network with capacity and broad reach, one that’s being built to support virtually all types of use cases and provide unprecedented reach. It’s called #5GForAll and only T-Mobile can build it. With its supercharged 5G network as the foundation, T-Mobile is fueling 5G innovation and building the 5G ecosystem with a number of initiatives. The Un-carrier collaborates with universities and standards bodies to support 5G research and development. In addition to running the award-winning <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://t-mobileaccelerator.com/" target="_blank">T-Mobile Accelerator</a>, it operates the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://es.t-mobile.com/ventures" target="_blank">T-Mobile Ventures</a> investment fund and is a co-founder of the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://5goilab.com/" target="_blank">5G Open Innovation Lab</a>. From employee benefits and military discounts, to its pledge to hire 10,000 Veterans and military spouses by 2023, T-Mobile is honored to serve those who serve our country. <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/responsibility/community/military" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Find out more on our website.</a> And, follow T-Mobile’s Official Twitter Newsroom <a href="https://twitter.com/TMobileLatinonews" data-type="URL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@TMobileNews</a> to stay up to date with the latest company news.

Independent network tests continue to prove T-Mobile is the clear 5G leader. In its latest report, Opensignal found T-Mobile customers have the fastest 5G speeds and get a 5G signal more often than anyone else. 

BELLEVUE, Wash. — April 28, 2021 — 5G built faster, larger and more reliable. Yet another independent report finds T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) is delivering a better 5G experience to customers. New independent data from <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.opensignal.com/reports/2021/04/usa/mobile-network-experience-5g" target="_blank">Opensignal</a>, based on real world customer usage from millions of device measurements, shows T-Mobile customers get the fastest 5G download speeds, fastest 5G upload speeds and a 5G signal more often than anyone else. And T-Mobile 5G download speeds jumped a whopping 23% while others stayed virtually unchanged since the beginning of the year.

 "Network report after network report continue to show T-Mobile delivers the fastest and most widely available 5G to customers," said Neville Ray, President of Technology at T-Mobile. "The inescapable fact is that T-Mobile is the 5G leader, but don't just take my word for it. The multiple independent reports based on real customer network experiences show the same thing, too."

As a testament to the super-fast Ultra Capacity 5G T-Mobile has been quickly deploying across the country, Opensignal's report shows T-Mobile customers' average 5G download speeds increased by almost 23% since the beginning of the year while speeds on other networks practically stayed the same. This is the second time in a row Opensignal awarded T-Mobile 5G as fastest and most available and the third independent network benchmarking report this month to give T-Mobile top marks for 5G speed and availability.

Largest, Fastest and Most Reliable 5G Network T‑Mobile es el líder 5G del país. The Un-carrier delivers the fastest and <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/network/umlaut-most-reliable-5g" target="_blank">most reliable 5G</a> while covering more people and places than anyone else. While other wireless companies only provide their fastest 5G speeds with mmWave in small pockets of some cities, T-Mobile is lighting up Ultra Capacity 5G, the very best kind of 5G with its ability to deliver both broad coverage and fast speeds, across the country. MmWave can provide fast speeds but it won’t travel far and is easily blocked by things like walls, windows and even leaves. T-Mobile already covers 125 million people with Ultra Capacity 5G today and plans to reach 200 million people nationwide by the end of 2021.

On top of Opensignal’s latest findings, additional independent reports also confirm that T-Mobile 5G is #1 in speed and availability. A recent report from <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/network/5g-leader-fastest-ookla-q1-2021" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ookla</a> found that T-Mobile customers get the fastest 5G speeds and get a 5G signal more often than customers on any other network. And recent tests by research firm <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/network/umlaut-most-reliable-5g" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">umlaut</a> show T-Mobile customers get the most reliable 5G in the U.S., the most 5G coverage and the highest 5G speed score. T-Mobile is the only wireless provider in the U.S. with 5G wins for speed, coverage and reliability. And while the other networks play catch up, the Un-carrier will keep layering on even more capacity and speed to the nation’s largest 5G network.

What’s the news: T-Mobile and Zyter are partnering to bring virtual healthcare solutions — including telehealth and remote patient monitoring and care team collaboration — to more healthcare organizations and their patients, providing access to virtual care for underserved communities.

Why it matters: Telemedicine is not readily available to millions of Americans, and the two companies are working together to address this.

Who it’s for: Healthcare delivery organizations.

BELLEVUE, Wash. — April 27, 2021 — Today, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) and Zyter, Inc. announced a preferred partnership to deliver virtual healthcare solutions — i­­ncluding telehealth and remote patient monitoring and care team collaboration — to more healthcare organizations and their patients across the U.S. Together, the companies are making virtual care more accessible to more people, which serves to improve patient outcomes, reduce readmission rates and increase overall patient wellbeing.

Since COVID-19, there has been more demand than ever for virtual healthcare. According to IDC1, 51% of U.S. consumers are concerned or very concerned about going to a healthcare facility. Additionally, the Federal Communications Commission has <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-20-50A1.pdf" target="_blank">reported</a> that more than 18 million Americans do not have access to high-speed broadband networks. By partnering with T-Mobile, Zyter’s award-winning Digital Health platform — Zyter Digital Health Platform and products including, Zyter Telehealth, Zyter Remote Patient Monitoring and ZyterHome™ — will reach more people over the nation's largest, fastest, and most reliable 5G network.

"We believe that every American has the right to quality healthcare that is safe and secure," said Mike Katz, EVP, T-Mobile. "By partnering with Zyter, we can outfit healthcare organizations of all sizes with solutions that reach more people and enable faster and more reliable virtual care through familiar devices like smartphones and tablets."

Under the terms of this agreement, Zyter and T-Mobile will collaborate to deliver integrated healthcare solutions to existing and potential T-Mobile customers nationwide. Together, the companies will enable healthcare organizations to provide patients with remote and secure collaboration with care teams who can monitor, diagnose, and remotely treat patients anytime, virtually anywhere, using the T-Mobile 4G LTE/5G network.

“This is a significant agreement for Zyter as it enables us to leverage the vast resources and footprint of T-Mobile to make our digital health solutions more accessible to more patients,” said Sanjay Govil, founder and CEO of Zyter, Inc. “By working together, we can help organizations improve patient satisfaction while maintaining care quality and lowering costs.”   

These solutions are already available for integrated delivery networks, life science companies, hospitals, health systems and payer organizations around the country, and with T-Mobile, more healthcare providers will be able to quickly scale and deploy these virtual health solutions to ensure that more Americans have access to quality care, in the safety and convenience of their own home.

Your device helped you stay safe at home for a year — here’s how it can help you get ready for the world again, too.

Last year, when the pandemic suddenly shut down our very big worlds and pushed them into tiny isolated spaces, we had to learn to adapt. Part of that learning curve last spring was centered on <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/community/expert-advice-on-achieving-mobile-mindfulness-in-the-covid-19-era" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/community/expert-advice-on-achieving-mobile-mindfulness-in-the-covid-19-era">creating a conscious balance</a> to mitigate the always-on digital mobile-first existence that kept us connected to the world, while simultaneously keeping us safely away from each other in hope of flattening the curve.

In the past twelve months or so, we've shown you how to create invisible yet ever so <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/community/7-pro-tips-to-make-working-from-home-work">real boundaries with your teams in a virtual office</a>. We offered tips for how to keep the devices that had become our lifelines both <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/community/how-to-clean-up-your-device-hygiene" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/community/how-to-clean-up-your-device-hygiene">hygienic</a> as well as <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/community/spring-clean-digital-declutter" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/community/spring-clean-digital-declutter">organized and efficient</a>. We shared the best ways to use your <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/offers/t-mobile-staff-picks-totally-ripped-apps">devices to stay in shape</a> and avoid the common quarantine food coma that left many feeling sedentary. In short, we explored a number of ways to try and keep it together as COVID-19 virtually took our whole world virtual, blurring the lines between work, life, phone and reality.

One year later, a lot has changed. Now, as the larger world starts to slowly open back up, it's time to start thinking about getting back out into it. Not quite ready? Here are some tips for Spring cleaning your life as we adapt our digitally dominant days to take things IRL once again.

core/heading

First, if your remote office space remains your multi-hyphenated everything space (gym-kitchen-bedroom), you have to come to terms with the fact that <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-your-workspace-at-home-is-probably-gross-11616151615" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-your-workspace-at-home-is-probably-gross-11616151615">research shows</a> the home office can be dirtier and more disruptive to your overall health than work offices. Perhaps it’s time to do a deep clean of your home workspace? If you’re not feeling all that motivated, your phone can help! Apps like <a href="https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/spotless-a-simply-cleaner-home/id1067203863">Spotless</a> and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woohoosoftware.cleanmyhouse&hl=en_GB">Clean My House</a> offer tools and tips that will help you schedule chores, create cleaning checklists and organize spaces in your home to make clutter a distant memory. Also, if you’re staying put, it’s time to take a serious look at your connectivity standards and make sure it’s up for the challenge of a full remote life. For instance, for both you and your employer, <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/business/unprecedented-times-meet-the-un-carrier-t-mobile-unveils-big-moves-for-businesses">T-Mobile WFX</a> provides three solutions on the <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/network/5g-leader-fastest-ookla-q1-2021">nation’s fastest, largest and most reliable 5G network</a> to help businesses and their employees thrive in a radically-transformed, post-pandemic, work-from-anywhere world.

Going back into your actual office? Things will <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/road-to-recovery/2021/01/03/rtr-officetrends/">probably be a bit different</a> from your pre-pandemic work days. In addition to new layouts, a rise in part-time arrangements and inquiries on your vaccination status, office life as you knew it will likely have changed. T-Mobile was recently named to FORTUNE’s 100 Best Companies to Work For after it put some rigor into its <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/community/visionary-on-hq-renovations-and-covid-safety-upgrades">recent headquarters renovations</a><a href="http://\" target=" _blank rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a>in Bellevue, Wash. and Overland Park, Kan. to address the concerns of its employees. Everything from social distancing signage, capacity limits, sanitation stations, contactless building features to new HVAC systems that maximize fresh air exchange rates and MERV 13 filters considered hospital-grade filtration that meet or exceed industry standards.

The numbers are in, and it turns out that most Americans have <a href="https://time.com/5949263/pandemic-weight-gain/">experienced</a> pandemic weight gain. According to a recent study in the JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, the average American packed on 7.08 pounds between February and June 2020. Looking to de-crumple your body and adjust your quarantine diet and WFC (work from couch) days? There are <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/offers/t-mobile-staff-picks-totally-ripped-apps">plenty of apps</a> like the <a href="https://www.nike.com/ntc-app">Nike Training Club</a>, <a href="https://www.sweat.com/">SWEAT</a>, <a href="https://happyscale.com/">Happy Scale</a> and <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/myfitnesspal/id341232718" data-type="URL" data-id="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/myfitnesspal/id341232718">MyFitnessPal</a> that can help you get and stay fit to re-enter the world with confidence.

Maybe you stocked up on sweats early in your quarantine days, and now have an excess of comfy clothes - if such a thing exists anymore! - as you return to life on the outside. Or perhaps you'll be working from home indefinitely, and won't be needing so many stiff suits and novelty ties.

Donating old clothing or other household items is a breeze with apps like <a href="https://lugg.com/services/donations">Lugg</a>, which can help you schedule pickups for your stuff. Need an extra push to clean out your closet? Apps like <a href="https://regain-app.com/">reGAIN</a> offer exclusive discount coupons for donating unwanted clothing items to charity.

Whether you’re heading back to the office, resuming your weekly happy hour book club, or finally taking that rescheduled vacation, the fact of the matter is, your pets are likely going to be spending more time alone — at least compared to your early pandemic days. Maybe it’s your quarantine pup’s first solo work week, or your cat’s inaugural house-sitting gig — which, let’s be honest, she’ll probably love. If your pet will be spending some time alone, apps like<a href="https://www.dogmonitorapp.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><a href="https://www.dogmonitorapp.com/">Dog Monitor</a> and <a href="https://www.petcamapp.com/">PetCam</a> help you rest assured your best friend is safe and happy.

As the larger world starts to slowly open back up, it's time to start thinking about getting back out into it. Here are some tips for Spring cleaning your life as we adapt our digitally dominant days to take things IRL once again.

(the 3rd installment in an occasional series comparing the size of 5G networks with real-life objects)

It’s no secret that T-Mobile is blanketing the country with 5G coverage but just how much blanketing might surprise most wireless users. In this installment of “If 5G Were…” we’re using blankets to show just how much of a difference there is between T-Mobile and the Carriers.

It’s now been four months since we originally launched the “If 5G Were…” series and the Un-carrier’s 5G network lead only continues to grow, not just in sheer size but in quality, too.  T-Mobile is not only the largest 5G network but it’s now the <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/network/5g-leader-fastest-ookla-q1-2021" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fastest</a> and the <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/network/umlaut-most-reliable-5g" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">most reliable</a>, too.

But today we focus on size. At 1.6 million square miles, T-Mobile’s <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/coverage/4g-lte-5g-networks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">5G network</a> is over 2x the size of AT&T's and nearly 4x the size of Verizon's! As earnings season kicks off tomorrow, April 21, with Verizon, followed by AT&T the next day, the big question is… when can the Carriers' catch-up with the Un-carrier? Or can they catch up at all?

If 5G Were… Blankets

For the last eight years, T-Mobile has been rewriting the rules of a broken, arrogant industry. Now T-Mobile is the network leader, and<a> </a><a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/un-carrier/t-mobiles-next-un-carrier-move-5gforall" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">we showed two weeks ago</a> how this supercharged Un-carrier will write the rules for the 5G era from the start. The contrast between how we are leading now and how Verizon and AT&T led in the early days of wireless is stark. They led with contracts and limits and fees. And we’re leading with free upgrades, disrupting one of America’s most disliked industries – broadband providers – and hiring thousands of people in the heartland. And the network is what makes that difference possible.

Nowhere was that clearer than last month, when in the space of less than 48 hours, we - along with Verizon and AT&T - held investor days to lay out our plans for the next few years, including our plans for 5G after the record-setting C-band spectrum auction. This gave a very clear picture of the current and future state of 5G in this country and an even clearer picture of T-Mobile's leadership. But don't take my word for it, here's how one analyst characterized it:

“The most important takeaway here is that T-Mobile’s clear spectrum advantage was fully reinforced by all three players. Put simply…T-Mobile wins.”  <a href="#_ftn1">[1]</a>

“They [T-Mobile] will be first to 5G, and they will be best in 5G. Everything we heard from all three carriers over three days underscored that simple point.”<a href="#_ftn2">[2]</a>

As much as I enjoy seeing the world recognize reality, there are a few facts worth highlighting about the current state of 5G in this country and what that means for the future.

We’re now in the second phase of 5G, and it’s all about mid-band. The first phase of 5G was confusing, like watching a basketball team play a football and baseball team simultaneously. We all had radically different strategies. Verizon was focused on mmWave but limited 5G coverage. AT&T was focused on marketing 4G as if it were 5G. And at T-Mobile, we were focused on laying the foundation for 5G with low-band spectrum and delivered nationwide 5G coverage

In this second phase, everyone in the industry is playing the same game - building out optimal mid-band spectrum to deliver the perfect combo of speeds and coverage. Often called the "goldilocks" of spectrum for this reason, mid-band spectrum is clearly the global sweet spot for 5G. It's going to be much easier to compare progress and benchmark success in this phase of 5G, which leads me to my second point.

T-Mobile has a winning hand and a lasting advantage. Verizon and AT&T have very limited mid-band deployments to date while T-Mobile started preparing for the Sprint merger well over two years ago and began work in earnest last year. Already, we cover 125 million people with mid-band 5G today. By the end of 2021, we expect to reach 200 million nationwide. By end of 2022, that'll grow to 250 million, and to nearly 285 million (90% of Americans) by the end of 2023. And we'll only continue to grow from there at a pace that can't be matched.

By comparison, Verizon announced plans to cover 100 million people with mid-band over the next 12 months and 175 million by the end of 2023 - just 61% of T-Mobile's planned coverage. AT&T said they expect to cover just 75 million people by the end of 2022 and 100 million people by early 2023, a fraction of T-Mobile's coverage.

So even once competitive deployments are well underway, by the end of this year, T-Mobile will cover twice as many people as Verizon.

“T-Mobile has a strong performance lead. Three factors will drive ‘fast 5G’ network performance: 1) POPs covered; 2) the consistency of performance in covered markets; 3) capacity per subscriber. T-Mobile has a strong lead on all three measures, which should drive accelerating market share gains. They will maintain this lead through the forecast period and perhaps indefinitely.”<a href="#_ftn3">[3]</a>

Now that they've invested tens of billions to acquire C-band spectrum, Verizon will have access to 60 MHz and AT&T will have access to 40 MHz of their new C-band spectrum by the end of this year and will have to wait until the end of 2023 to use the rest. And, of course, we had just the right success in this spectrum auction ourselves to round out our network strategy… and will get access to that spectrum at the same time.

But beyond this, T-Mobile’s winning hand and lasting advantage includes an amazing team. That’s why we have achieved so many 5G <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/un-carrier-network-list-of-firsts" target="_blank">firsts</a>, including being the first – and still only – to light up <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/network/standalone-5g-launch" target="_blank">standalone 5G</a>. It’s why we have the largest, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/network/5g-leader-fastest-ookla-q1-2021" target="_blank">fastest</a> and now <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/network/umlaut-most-reliable-5g" target="_blank">the most reliable 5G network</a>. And that’s why we’re the premier provider positioned to deliver innovations like <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-ericsson-lg-mediatek-5g-carrier-aggregation" target="_blank">5G carrier aggregation</a>, ever-expanding 5G coverage, improved network response times and combined layers of capacity for greater speed and performance. Competition delivers!

The laws of physics don’t bend One analyst had this to say about the physics of mid-band:

“[T-Mobile’s] spectrum propagates farther. This last point – the propagation advantage of 2.5 GHz – hung over both Verizon’s and AT&T’s presentations, but neither was able to make a convincing case that they would be able to counter this advantage.”<a href="#_ftn4">[4]</a>

C-band spectrum is great. We bought a bunch of it, too. But spectrum obeys the immutable laws of physics. The higher the frequency, the shorter the distance it can travel and the more easily it is blocked by objects. C-band is 3.7 to 3.98 GHz. T-Mobile's existing mid-band 5G network uses 2.5 GHz spectrum. Higher banded spectrum cannot travel as far.

The coverage that wireless companies can get from a frequency band depends on a variety of factors - things like base station equipment, end-user device specifications, operating environment, performance margins, FCC Rules and the propagation characteristics of the frequency band itself. And when you look at 2.5 GHz vs. C-Band, most of these factors leave little difference between the two bands other than the better propagation characteristics of 2.5 GHz, resulting in its superior coverage compared to C-Band. The base station equipment for both bands has a similar Massive MIMO antenna implementation, but the maximum allowed output power levels are different and significantly larger for 2.5 GHz where it matters the most and where more than 83% of the population lives. The chipset and mobile device specifications are the same, but 2.5 GHz rules allow twice as high maximum power than C-band, which is particularly beneficial in the context of in-home broadband to support improved uplink coverage. The same is true for operating margins and cell edge performance. 

With that in mind, we conducted extensive RF simulations and analysis as well as material field testing to assess C-band performance across various geographies and topographies. And we saw that C-band performs well in dense urban environments with low inter-site distances, but that performance is lower in other environments. We estimate C-band will require 50% more cell sites for meaningful and continuous coverage, and in some areas, for example in-building, the required densification can be 4x higher than 2.5 GHz.

Now, Verizon is trying to convince the world it can bend the laws of physics and make C-band work similarly to 2.5 GHz. Of course, this is not new for the Verizon team. They tried to convince the world they could bend the laws of physics with mmWave, and after years of trying, they failed. As some analysts put it coming out of Verizon's presentation:

"The lie of millimeter wave is dead" <a href="#_ftn5">[5]</a>

“After years of LTE network capacity constraints and Verizon's "staggering whiff" at setting expectations in 2018 for its ability to pass and serve homes with a superior service relying on millimeter wave spectrum, the market heavily discounts telco fixed wireless home broadband forecasts.”<a href="#_ftn6">[6]</a>

Verizon has recently put a lot of misinformation into the market, and I'm sure they'll double down at their earnings this week. But here's how it breaks down:

core/separator

The inescapable fact is that delivering seamless mid-band 5G coverage with C-band alone requires extensive network densification and updates to all 5G sites. That’s both time-consuming and expensive outside of urban areas.<a> So Verizon and AT&T, following their failed business strategies to date, now have a choice: </a>spend more to provide contiguous coverage with C-band, or leave their customers with performance and quality holes in their 5G coverage. We are making them have to compete harder!

5G Home Internet is here One really big point of good news for customers is that 5G enables a real alternative to cable. While AT&T seems to be sitting this one out over concerns their network cannot deliver enough bandwidth to challenge and replace home internet, Verizon committed to offering service to 20 million homes by year-end 2023.

Two weeks ago, we launched T-Mobile <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/un-carrier/t-mobiles-next-un-carrier-move-5gforall" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">5G Home Internet</a> with 30 million homes eligible on launch day, 10 million of them in rural areas and small towns. Competition has arrived for the nation’s ISPs, and consumers – especially those in under-served areas of the country – will be the winners.

Overall I couldn’t be prouder of the incredible work the team here at T-Mobile is doing and will do to truly deliver 5G for All. What are your thoughts about the state of 5G? Let me know, as always on Twitter, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.twitter.com/NevilleRay" target="_blank">@NevilleRay</a>.

This quote has been attributed - and misattributed - to so many thinkers throughout the centuries that at this point it sounds generic. Whether it was Michelangelo, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Norman Rockwell or someone else entirely, the words express a simple yet powerful idea: Even the masters never stop growing.

The contemporary term for this openness to new ideas is growth mindset. As a theory of intelligence, the growth mindset is one where our interests, skills and aptitudes can develop over time. And hey, there’s science behind it. Studies show that when a company embraces a growth mindset, it <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/nudging-ahead/201805/3-ways-growth-mindset-benefits-companies-and-employees">can go a long way</a> toward improving employee diversity, mental health, job satisfaction and performance.

During my first full year as CEO, my goal has been to embrace a growth mindset - to continue being proactive about learning and constantly improving, for myself and for T-Mobile. To that end, I've been looking at the ways successful leaders do their thing, and infusing some of the resulting ideas into how I lead this company. Here's a handful I want to share with you.

Satya Nadella: Lead with empathy. The CEO of Microsoft once described his original interview at the company as ending with a question that caught him off guard: You see a baby fall down in the street, what do you do? This was back in the ’90s, so Satya said he’d run to a phone and call 911. He wasn’t hired. Incredulous, he asked why. The interviewer told him he needed to develop empathy — to pick up and comfort the baby. From then on, Satya made a point to incorporate empathy into his <a href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fpulse%2Funcovering-leadership-style-satya-nadella-mekonnen-kassa%2F&data=04%7C01%7CJocelyn.Jacobson%40sprint.com%7C88447c4fccbf480b66b708d8d79d8832%7C4f8bc0acbd784bf5b55f1b31301d9adf%7C0%7C0%7C637496419354268531%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=r1jjq0iqx64REmGRM6DhBM8FOiB7XkdgDvpotyk7I%2B4%3D&reserved=0">leadership style</a>, putting himself in someone else’s shoes before making a decision that will affect them.

For me and my leadership team, that means helping employees balance health, household and work responsibilities. I recognize that there's no one-size-fits-all model - especially while weathering a pandemic - but it starts with a simple question: How are you?

Megan Rapinoe: Embrace your individual strengths. At T-Mobile we say, “Be yourself. We like it that way,” and there’s no better embodiment of that philosophy than U.S. women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe. Few people are as willing to take a stand — <a href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DjDrB2IestHs&data=04%7C01%7CJocelyn.Jacobson%40sprint.com%7C88447c4fccbf480b66b708d8d79d8832%7C4f8bc0acbd784bf5b55f1b31301d9adf%7C0%7C0%7C637496419354268531%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=lQl3Fj5IMVWwt%2B9rFke8jZ1J%2FPTbIgU5sWm6gwRSxU4%3D&reserved=0">on the biggest stages in the world</a>, with purple hair, no less! — than Megan (who happens to live right across Lake Washington from me in Seattle).

Diverse perspectives and experiences help a company like T-Mobile better understand the communities we serve every day — and ways we can improve our workforce. That’s why I’m in awe of our <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/community/meet-the-civil-rights-leaders-joining-t-mobiles-external-diversity-and-inclusion-council">External Diversity Council</a>, a superlative group of men and women that represents the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion in running a successful company, and for providing an example of this lesson just by living their lives.

The Nordstrom family: Always put the customer first. Another Pacific Northwest icon, the Nordstrom family, set the standard for customer experience. Their retail empire was born from a single store opened in downtown Seattle in 1901 and today includes 100 stores in 40 U.S. states, along with a bustling website and more than 70,000 employees. The great-grandsons of original founder John W. Nordstrom, brothers Pete and Erik Nordstrom, run the family business under the same founding principle: The customer is always first. The “Nordstrom Way” has guided them through a century of boom-and-bust shopping trends, including recent shifts in brick-and-mortar retail.

Just like the Nordstrom family, I am all about <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/brand/why-t-mobile">customer obsession</a>. I want T-Mobile to become the best in the world at connecting customers to their world. My vision is to be #1 in customer choice and customers’ hearts.

Kizzmekia Corbett: Each one, teach one. A mentor-mentee relationship ignited Kizzmekia Corbett’s lifelong passion for scientific discovery. Now a viral immunologist and research fellow in the Vaccine Research Center of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, she is the lead scientist on the team that developed the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine.

Kizzmekia has followed her curiosity since becoming a scientist at 16 by constantly learning, along with seeking and encouraging feedback on her work. Now, at 35, she has adopted a mentoring philosophy from an African-American proverb that originated during slavery: "Each one, teach one." The idea is to spread knowledge for the betterment of your community.

In addition to Kizzmekia’s role in leading the design of the vaccine and preclinical studies, she is <a href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Farticles%2Fd41586-021-00338-y&data=04%7C01%7CJocelyn.Jacobson%40sprint.com%7C63baf7a2ff3b49d4186108d8f270508c%7C4f8bc0acbd784bf5b55f1b31301d9adf%7C0%7C0%7C637525912249740500%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=p4Lvx7seONWKjQB%2F0WYU%2FvLgmrgXCOikq%2FbFPiR4Lkw%3D&reserved=0">easing hesitancies about Covid-19 science</a> — often in her limited free time — in communities of color.

Kizzmekia’s example is so inspiring. Instilling a sense of self-reliance and self-improvement helps our upcoming leaders grow. It also positively impacts our business. In fact, a Korn/Ferry International study of the stock performance of 486 publicly traded companies found that companies with strong financial performance tend to have employees with <a href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.forbes.com%2Fsites%2Fellevate%2F2018%2F02%2F15%2Fself-awareness-being-more-of-what-makes-you-great%2F%3Fsh%3D1a90630040dd&data=04%7C01%7CJocelyn.Jacobson%40sprint.com%7C63baf7a2ff3b49d4186108d8f270508c%7C4f8bc0acbd784bf5b55f1b31301d9adf%7C0%7C0%7C637525912249750492%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=zpUbBeLrM%2FvSq227mNyPl1lHNthbhMqA%2BFC3L5NFHWs%3D&reserved=0">higher levels of self-awareness</a> than poorly performing companies.

José Andrés: Direct your passion back to the world in the biggest way possible. After the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, José Andrés took his food out of the restaurant and straight to people in need. The internationally renowned chef launched <a href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FWorld_Central_Kitchen&data=04%7C01%7CJocelyn.Jacobson%40sprint.com%7C88447c4fccbf480b66b708d8d79d8832%7C4f8bc0acbd784bf5b55f1b31301d9adf%7C0%7C0%7C637496419354278527%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=5u89Ya37d6KpM9QTPGHlDTZyyflr6hSz0V0Yi%2FpecS8%3D&reserved=0">World Central Kitchen</a>, a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization that provides meals to people suffering through natural disasters. In 2020, José set up community kitchens across the U.S. to deliver tens of thousands of meals to people hit hard by Covid-19. Doing what he does best to make a difference for those who need it most. His big heart is matched only by his outsized impact, a combination I admire and aspire to. And now more than ever, people need someone fighting on their behalf.

Just like José, I believe in fighting for those who need a little extra support. It’s why T-Mobile launched <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/business/education/project-10-million?cmpid=TFB_RAD_P_20TENMM_OU0ZJSRRLLM0FYL758187">Project 10Million</a> this past year, an ambitious program aimed at eradicating the digital divide issue known as the “homework gap.” Education should be the great leveler in our society, but students need broadband connections in order for that to work. Our goal is simple — to connect every single child with internet access. So far, we have provided more than 2.5 million underserved students nationwide with free or highly subsidized connectivity. Directing our passion back to the world.

Greta Thunberg: We must protect the Earth for future generations, and we must do it now. Greta has changed the conversation about environmentalism at the highest levels of global leadership — and she did so before turning 18. I see her as one of the bravest leaders on the world stage today, and she quickly pivoted her movement to online and socially distanced activism during the pandemic.

I want the cleaner, safer, saner world Greta envisions, not just for my children but for everyone's. And I'm proud to put those words into action at T-Mobile, where our <a href="https://es.t-mobile.com/news/community/changemaker-challenge-2021">Changemaker Challenge program</a> celebrates creative young people who are making a difference with their innovative ideas around technology, the environment and education. I can’t wait to see what they bring to our Changemaker Lab later this year.

Colin Powell: You can't make someone else's choices. You shouldn’t let someone else make yours. It’s nearly impossible to choose only one leadership lesson from former Secretary of State and four-star general Colin Powell. Throughout his broad experiences in military and civilian life, he has exemplified what it means to lead with emotional intelligence, create conditions of trust within an organization and approach life with a can-do attitude.

Of his own <a href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.airman.af.mil%2FPortals%2F17%2F002%2520All%2520Products%2F001%2520Book%2520Reviews%2FBook%2520Reviews%2FIt%2520Worked%2520For%2520Me--Powell%27s%252013%2520Rules.pdf%3Fver%3D2016-09-20-150915-237&data=04%7C01%7CJocelyn.Jacobson%40sprint.com%7C63baf7a2ff3b49d4186108d8f270508c%7C4f8bc0acbd784bf5b55f1b31301d9adf%7C0%7C0%7C637525912249750492%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=wnPXA%2Fz9VuuW1gMjqFa37EqbWwrZtRP64GcvxACmE4I%3D&reserved=0">13 Rules of Leadership</a>, this one about taking ultimate responsibility for the decisions you make resonates most with me. Gen. Powell used to tell his subordinate commanders and staff, “Try to convince me you are right and I am about to go down the wrong path. You owe that to me; that's why you are here. But don't be intimidated when I argue back. A moment will come when I have heard enough and I make a decision.”

I encourage my leaders at T-Mobile to listen and consider all perspectives. But ultimately, we are all responsible for our own decisions. You can't let pressure from someone else stand in the way of making the choices you need to make (for me, being what's best for our customers, employees and shareholders). My leadership team and I approach tough decision-making with Gen. Powell's advice in mind: Get enough information to make an informed decision, and then trust your gut. Also, be willing to learn and grow from your mistakes.
