AT&T has added 5G to 28 additional markets including Puerto Rico and a number of US states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some areas of the new markets are using dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS), in which the same channel can be used for 4G and 5G.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The majority of the launches are in Florida (four markets), Puerto Rico (seven markets) and Texas (five markets).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Utah have one market each, while Minnesota has two \u2013 one wholly within the state itself and another that crosses into North Dakota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spectrum sharing capabilities of DSS enables carriers to offer 4G and 5G according to demand. This is designed to create a seamless experience for customers, while increasing spectrum use efficiency and creating an intelligent and robust network, according to AT&T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDSS is an important stepping-stone on our path to nationwide 5G,\u201d said Igal Elbaz, AT&T\u2019s Senior Vice President of Wireless and Access Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were the first U.S. carrier to deploy this technology in our network, and it\u2019s now playing an important role as we work toward a nationwide 5G footprint this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier this year, AT&T said it was deploying 5G in 137 additional U.S. markets. This brought the company\u2019s total to 327 markets covering more than 160 million people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
