What is 5G Evolution? 5G Evolution is AT&T’s first step on the road to 5G. There’re starting by enabling faster speeds on it’s existing LTE network —up to 2x faster than standard LTE (4G). 2x Faster: Based on AT&T standard 4G LTE v. 5G Evolution avg download speeds. Avail. in select areas only with capable device. |
How is the network evolving? AT&T is adding technologies to their current network: – Carrier aggregation adds more “lanes” to the highway that data travels on. – 4×4 MIMO doubles the number of antennas that can send data back and forth. – 256 QAM makes data transmission more efficient. |
AT&T is also upgrading it’s network by: – Increasing capacity and coverage on their network. This provides more support for data usage. – Adding fiber to the network, which allows for higher peak speeds. – Enhancing the core network to support lower network latency. Now the network can respond even more quickly to what you do. – Adding new tower equipment that they can upgrade through software. It all adds up to faster speeds for you. |
Where is 5G Evolution available? 5G Evolution is now live in over 550 markets. Many of our most popular smartphones are displaying a “5G E” indicator to let you know when you’re in an area where 5G Evolution is available.
