Rumors abound about T-Mobile “5G” LTE, with upload and download speeds already tested at 300Mbps. Currently, 4G LTE connections are tested at about a third of that, but rarely reach their full potential, usually capping off at about 50Mbps.
T-Mobile was among the last of the major carriers to make the switch to 4G LTE, but it looks like it was planning ahead for the bigger jump. Yasmin Karimli, T-Mobile’s head of Radio Network and Evolution Strategy, told VentureBeat in an interview, “I think we’ll probably be able to move faster [to LTE-Advanced than other companies] because we have the latest hardware in place … Others may have hardware that’s two years old, so they may have to rip and replace.”
