AT&T Launches 5G Evolution in 117 New Markets

AT&T continues to build its 5G foundation by launching our 5G Evolution (4G with  carrier aggregation, 4X4 MIMO, and 256 QAM) technology in parts of 117 new markets, bringing the total number of markets served with that technology to 141.

The 5G Evolution platform can deliver theoretical peak internet access speeds for supported devices of up to 400 megabits per second, but as its name implies, it is a pre-5G platform.

AT&T also is making LTE-LAA available in parts of three new markets (Boston, Sacramento and McAllen, Texas), bringing the total number of markets served with that technology to seven.

AT&T’s LTE-LAA technologies can deliver theoretical peak speeds for capable devices of up to 1 gigabit per second.  

Samsung is among the first suppliers to support LAA and LTE-U capabilities, starting with the Galaxy 8 and other devices equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset.
