With one of its largest investment in years, Sprint is building a blazing-fast, high-capacity mobile network that will enable the next wave of wireless innovation. Sprint mobile 5G is going to create incredible new connections to people and things, services and opportunities that will allow our customers to live a better life.

Mobile users will have fiber-like speeds in the palm of their hand to go and be connected anywhere to everything - people, machines, devices and more. Our lives - at home, at work, at play - will get radically faster.

Availability

Sprint plans to begin its mobile 5G rollout in the first half of 2019. Its first nine 5G markets include some of the largest cities in the country:

• Atlanta
• Chicago
• Dallas
• Houston
• Kansas City
• Los Angeles
• New York City
• Phoenix
• Washington, D.C.

The company's 5G technology rollout is underway with equipment deployed and currently being tested in multiple cities across the country. Sprint 5G will begin with contiguous footprints in the downtown areas of these first nine cities, allowing for its on-the-go customers to stay connected to 5G through the city center. For example, in LA, Sprint will offer mobile 5G service all the way from Dodgers Stadium to Santa Monica.

Massive MIMO

Game-changing Massive MIMO technology and Sprint's super-fast 2.5 GHz spectrum are the foundation of Sprint's award-winning approach to 5G. Sprint is deploying 64T64R (64 transmit, 64 receive) Massive MIMO radios using 128 antennas, working with technology leaders Ericsson, Nokia, and Samsung Electronics.
