AT&T's 5G
AT&T is relying heavily on 5G to fuel its future revenue growth, in part because the Dallas-based carrier said that 5G device adoption will drive its upgrade cycle in 2020.
AT&T's 5G network covers 50 million people today and AT&T has targeted second-quarter 2020 for the deployment of a nationwide 5G network. After launching 5G in 2018, AT&T brought 5G to parts of seven additional cities in 2019, including Austin, Los Angeles, Orlando and San Francisco. Altogether, AT&T has 5G live in parts of 32 cities and its network largely uses low band 850MHz spectrum technology, which offers broad range but slower speeds.
