![]() But there are drawbacks to their 700 MHz spectrum band 12. Until the last five years, T-Mobile possessed zero low-band spectrum until they started acquiring spectrum in the 700 MHz range. This is because the majority of the spectrum they held licenses for was all mid-band that delivered fast data speeds but did not propagate well through thick walls or long distances. T-Mobile has a reputation for not working well in buildings. The lower the frequency of a radio wave, the farther it can travel and the better it can pierce objects, especially concrete walls. But what does this mean for its customers? Greater Coverage Inside and Outside With the newly acquired 600 MHz spectrum, which will broadcast as band 71, T-Mobile will be able to deploy far-reaching signals with greater bandwidth across the entire US. Prior to this, T-Mobile had low-band spectrum in the 700 MHz wavelength, broadcast as band 12, but it did not have enough bandwidth to maintain sufficient data speeds. ![]() ![]() With this new spectrum, T-Mobile now has sufficient low-band licenses to broadcast across the entire US and provide sufficient data speeds due to the high bandwidth allocated.
