T-Mobile pushes LTE to the outskirts of 4 cities

T-Mobile revealed that its new LTE network on the 700 MHz band is now live in and outside of Cleveland (OH), Colorado Springs (CO), Minneapolis (MN) and Washington (DC).

T-Mobile has offered LTE services in those cities since 2013, but by tapping into new 700 MHz frequencies it bought from Verizon, it’s been able to create a higher-coverage, better-performing network. T-Mobile’s main LTE network is up in the 1700 MHz/2100 MHz band, but lower bands can propagate further, letting signals punch through walls and travel further in suburban and rural areas.
