3. Key learnings so far Technology mmWave RF Spectrum Use Cases
5G Key Technologies, e.g. beamforming and massive MIMO work
Standards are moving towards completion
mmWave spectrum has different physical properties
Paradigm shift in planning
Starting with new spectrum makes sense
All spectrum is 5G spectrum
One network, multiple use cases
Coverage matters
5G is needed across multiple spectrum bands to support multiple use cases

4. Our Deployment approach
Use 600MHz spectrum for nationwide 5G coverage
Use our mmWave spectrum in traffic hotspots
Evolve other spectrum bands to 5G as needed
Starting with 600MHz
mmW in Urban Hotspots
Foundational Coverage and Capacity
Dense Urban
Suburban
Rural

5. Why 600MHz for 5G? 1 2 3 4 New Spectrum is the Launchpad
Historically, new technology has always been launched on new spectrum; low band is the only practical way to achieve a wide area network
New Spectrum is the Launchpad 1
5G is also about coverage; Not just high bandwidth
Wide area coverage enables key 5G uses cases like Massive Machine Type Communication and Mission Critical Control. These use cases do NOT require large bandwidths 2
Efficient use of spectrum resources 3
5G NR is more efficient than LTE and will continue to evolve as research and development focus shifts to 5G technologies
One band, two technologies 4
5G technology will seamlessly interoperate and complement LTE, NR and LTE together forming a 5G network

6. 5G mobile experience with ONE NETWORK
MULTIPLE USE CASES
BEST MOBILE EXPERIENCE
T-Mobile is the first company to commit to building a nationwide 5G network
