T-Mobile Lights Up Greater Fresno Area With Extended Range LTE

What: The Un-carrier™ today confirmed its Extended Range LTE, or 700 MHz low band spectrum, which now carries T-Mobile’s LTE signals both farther and deeper indoors, is now live throughout Fresno.

With a rapid deployment of a nationwide LTE footprint that reaches over 290 million Americans, “The Raisin Capital” is now lit up with T-Mobile’s best in-building coverage offering.

Extended Range LTE Coverage T-Mobile has been rolling out truckloads of new spectrum that carries the LTE signal twice as far from towers, for a massive coverage expansion – plus it works four times better in buildings.

In nine months, T-Mobile has aggressively rolled out airwaves known as 700 MHz in 170 major metro areas including cities such as Philadelphia, Miami and Washington D.C., so you can use your compatible phone to get great 700 MHz coverage while visiting friends and family in those cities.

Extended Range LTE also enhances coverage in other areas already served by our strong 4G LTE network, so LTE customers there can experience better coverage in suburban and rural areas because the signal reaches further and penetrates deeper.

So whether you are enjoying a night out in the Tower District or have an important business meeting downtown -- your coverage doesn’t have to be sacrificed.

Customers with 700 MHz-compatible devices can already see the benefits. Check your device compatibility or upgrade through JUMP! On Demand™ by visiting http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones.lte-band-twelve.html.

Where: In addition to throughout Fresno, 700 MHz now also extends to Un-carrier customers in Clovis, Selma, Sanger, Tulare, Firebaugh, Dinuba, Helm, Lemoore, Kingsburg and Visalia.

Background: The 559 is just the latest area to receive our best in-building coverage as performance enhancements of America’s fastest nationwide 4G LTE network never stop.

In addition to delivering America’s fastest nationwide 4G LTE network, T-Mobile has unleashed a steady drumbeat of industry-rocking Un-carrier moves, including abolishing restrictive annual service contracts, data limits, shock overages, the upgrade runaround, high international roaming charges and many more old-guard carrier practices.
