Un-carrier collaborated with Nokia and Qualcomm to complete a data session leveraging 5G UL Tx (uplink transmission) switching, reaching peak speeds of 345 Mbps.
T-Mobile Media Release | February 15, 2024
The Un-carrier has broken its own record by spearheading new technology that gives mobile phones superpowers. T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced that it achieved record-breaking uplink speeds of 345 Mbps on its 5G standalone (SA) network in recent tests leveraging a new feature called UL Tx Switching. announced that it had been achieved. This is the fastest ever recorded in North America using spectrum below 6 GHz and demonstrates the potential of this technology to revolutionize the way data is transmitted from mobile devices to networks.
UL Tx switching is a breakthrough technology that enables seamless switching and combination of different frequencies, effectively creating more uplink capacity and higher uplink speeds. In other words, it’s like taking his 5G superhighway and adding new high-speed lanes with room for traffic, allowing it to expand faster than ever before. The test tested carrier aggregation (combining different spectrum channels to increase capacity and speed) and SU-MIMO (single user multiple input, multiple output – i.e. the ability to send multiple data streams to a mobile phone simultaneously) ). ) Delivers uplink speeds 25% faster than T-Mobile’s previous record of 275 Mbps. This test used equipment from Nokia’s cutting-edge next-generation AirScale portfolio and mobile test smartphones equipped with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.’s flagship Snapdragon® Modem-RF system.
said Ulf Ewaldsson, President of Technology at T-Mobile. “Uplink transmission switching has the potential to significantly improve upload speeds and capacity, and we implore our partners around the world to incorporate that capability into their upcoming 5G ecosystems.”
While T-Mobile’s 5G network has provided customers with significant performance improvements, primarily in terms of download speeds, the industry has only just begun to scratch the surface when it comes to uploads. Increased uplink speeds are critical for customers when it comes to content creation and sharing, remote work and collaboration, gaming, emerging technologies like XR, and more.
“Together with our long-term partner T-Mobile, we are delivering on this significant and important accomplishment that will enhance the uplink speeds and capacity of America’s largest and fastest 5G network, delivering an even better experience. We are proud of what we have achieved,” said Tommi Uitto, President of Mobile Networks at Nokia. “By working closely with our partners, we can push the boundaries of what is possible with 5G.”
“We are proud to work with T-Mobile to achieve another significant 5G milestone,” said Durga Maladi, senior vice president and general manager of technology planning and edge solutions at Qualcomm Technologies. I am. Increase your upload speed by intelligently and dynamically using your TDD and FDD spectrum within your device. Switched uplinks address the growing demand for upload-heavy user applications, devices, and use cases such as smartphones, fixed wireless access, and mobile broadband. ”
T-Mobile is a 5G leader, offering the nation’s largest, fastest and most awarded 5G network. Un-carrier’s 5G network covers over 330 million people in 2 million square miles. That’s more square miles than AT&T and Verizon combined. More than 300 million people nationwide are served by T-Mobile’s ultra-fast Ultra Capacity 5G, more than twice as fast as similar mid-band 5G service offered by Un-carrier’s closest competitors. It covers a square mile of.
