T-Mobile completes US $ 2 billion network expansion in Florida
T-Mobile has announced the completion of a US $ 2 billion, multiyear network expansion project across Florida. The upgrades aim to provide faster 5G speeds and improved coverage across the state.
The investment is intended to make high-speed Internet more accessible for residents and businesses in both rural and urban areas. The expansion enhances network capacity and reliability, aiming to benefit approximately 22 million Floridians. It also supports services such as emergency response systems and smart city initiatives.
As part of the project, T-Mobile built new cell sites and upgraded existing ones to extend 5G coverage, improve Internet speeds, and boost overall performance for customers, including businesses, schools, healthcare providers and first responders.
“ T-Mobile has redefined connectivity in Florida. The investment we’ ve made is bringing real benefits to the people and businesses that call this state home, not just with the fastest speeds but with increased resiliency and reliability in moments that matter most,” said Ulf Ewaldsson, President of Technology, T-Mobile.“ And we’ re not done yet. With the country’ s only 5G Advanced network and as the nation’ s first provider with a direct-to-cell satellite network, we’ re on track to deliver an even better network experience to Floridians – years before anyone else.”
