Most Advanced LTE Network
Relentlessly Driving LTE
Evolution
Nation’s densest, highest-capacity
LTE network
more spectrum and cell sites per
customer than either Verizon or
AT&T
LTE-Advanced started with Carrier
Aggregation in 2014
Recent LTE-A deployments include
first commercial deployment of 4x4
MIMO smartphones globally, 3CA
and 256QAM
Firstwith HD Voice, and first to launch it nationwide, for crystal clear call quality
Firstto launch VoLTEfor faster call connections, fast LTE data speeds while on a
call, HD Voice and seamless transitions between 2G/4G and LTE networks
Firstwith Wi-Fi Calling worldwide allowing you to move seamlessly between our
LTE network and any available Wi-Fi connection (VoLTEw/ eSRVCC).
Firstwith RCS-based Advanced Messaging for rich 1 on 1 and group messaging,
including near real-time chat right out of the box
Firstwith Video Calling so you can see and hear family and friends right from your
device’s dialer and right out of the box using LTE or Wi-Fi
Firstand only to offer free 4G LTE CellSpots, the first-ever 4G LTE mini-tower
available from a U.S. wireless provider for full-bar T-Mobile LTE coverage
throughout your home, small business or virtually anywhere you need it
Firstto trial deployment of License Assisted Access, an exciting innovation that
will increase network efficiency and throughput speeds using unlicensed
spectrum
Firstwith Enhanced Voice Services, which improves voice call reliability and
fidelity over HD Voice
Firstwith 4x4 MIMO (Multi-In Multi-Out), which doubles speeds over 4x2 MIMO,
allowing four radios at the cell site to send and receive signals with four antennas
on the smartphone.
Firstwith 256 QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), which provides a higher
resolution data signal for increased speeds.
Firstwith 3 Channel Carrier Aggregation, which combines available spectrum
across three channels for increased speeds.

LTE Evolution is an integral part of 5G
5G and 4G LTE work together
4G 5G
5G Radio Access is not a standalone technology,
through multi-connectivity a 5G device can be served
by various technologies (e.g. LTE and 5G)
simultaneously
5G builds on 4G LTE
Coverage and Capacity
Complementary Flexibility
“5G Network”
5G Radio Access complements LTE-Advanced, and
provides additional capacity, speed and enriched
capability to enhance existing use cases and enable
new ones

5G shines in new spectrum bands, large
bandwidths 5G will extend wireless into ultra-
high bandwidths mmWave spectrum, 10-100 times higher
frequency than today’s operations
mmWave bands provides access to large amounts of spectrum 10-100 times wider bandwidths than used
today, > multi Gbps data throughput
High frequency enables small antennas Large antenna arrays enables sophisticated
Beamforming/steering which unlocks the efficient use of mmW spectrum for Mobile Systems

But when will 5G be here?
Standards based 5G is moving forward 3GPP work started in 2015 Phase 1 standards, with focus on enhanced Mobile Broadband targeted to be completed mid-2018 First deployments typically 12-18 months after standards have been completed

5G Use Cases influence the journey
5G is build for flexibility and variety of use cases We see 5G’s real potential in the
mobile internet and consumer space, but 5G also allows us to expand to new services and use cases Mobile VR and AR, Mobile High
Definition video, Ultra-high speed mobile broadband…
5G Use cases will influencethe 5G network and service architecture
