T-Mobile US (TMUS), an American wireless network operator, was one of the first service providers to roll out a “real 5G nationwide network”, according to experts, after its Sprint buyout. The company that has long maintained that high-band 5G isn’t feasible at a nationwide scale, has built a significant portion of its 5G network using its 600MHz spectrum.
