AT&T’s low-band 5G service has begun to spread.
The company has reported that its low-band 5G service to 90 new markets across the U.S., almost doubling its footprint.
With today’s expansion, AT&T 5G is now available in 190 total markets across the country. A full list is available on the company’s website, but some notable additions include Chicago, New Orleans, Sacramento and Seattle.
The rollout pertains to low-band 850MHz 5G, which offers a longer range but is slower than mmWave 5G. Under its 5G+ branding, AT&T’s mmWave offering has been expanding at a much slower rate. At present, the mmWave/5G+ network, which launched to customers in March, is available in 35 U.S. cities.
AT&T currently offers only two smartphones the can utilize both its 5G and 5G+ networks: the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus and the Galaxy S20 Ultra.
Apple is expected to introduce support for 5G networks with its 2020 model iPhones. The handset is likely on-track to debut in the fall, though coronavirus delays may complicate Apple’s typical launch timeline.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
