For example, Wireless Infrastructure Association (WIA) President and CEO Patrick Halley made a statement after Biden signed the 5G SALE Act that not only covered his thoughts about T-Mobile being able to get its 2.5GHz licenses but also went beyond that to the FCC\u2019s long-term auction authority.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div id=\"gallery-f90084d7-13ea-496e-9d9d-51b02679ecc4\" class=\"single-image-container  image-c\" style=\"width: 1024px; max-width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"gallery-item\"><picture style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\"><source media=\"(max-width: 350px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 351px) and (max-width: 500px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 501px) and (max-width: 800px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/phonescanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/tmo5gmapuse.jpg\" alt=\"T-Mobile&#039;s coverage map as of late October - 5G SALE Act signed by Biden allows T-Mobile to take control of more mid-band 2.5GHz spectrum\" width=\"1024\" class=\"smush-dimensions lazyload\" style=\"--smush-image-width: 1024px; --smush-image-aspect-ratio: 1024\/576;\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/picture><\/div>\n<p>T-Mobile\u2019s coverage map as of late October<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Halley said, \u201cWhile I appreciate that the rightful winners of the 2.5 GHz licenses will no longer be held hostage, it\u2019s imperative that Congress restore the FCC\u2019s auction authority with a long-term reauthorization. Anything less will continue to hamper the advancement of America\u2019s mobile communications and put us in the competitive backseat against China and other global competitors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>T-Mobile\u2019s 5G service is based on the mid-band 2.5GHz spectrum. The carrier employs its 600MHz low-band airwaves for its nationwide Extended Range 5G (XR) service because those signals can travel for long distances. However, low-band 5G signals usually run only slightly faster than 4G LTE at 30Mbps-75Mbps. T-Mobile uses its 2.5GHz spectrum together with zippy high-band mmWave spectrum for T-Mobile\u2019s 5G Ultra Capacity (UC) service. The latter delivers download data speeds as fast as 300Mbps.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With both the Senate and the House passing the act, it was up to President Joe Biden to sign it, which he now has done.
