US Cellular announced it would be able to expand its 5G network faster than expected, as it has received full access to the 5G C-Band spectrum that it was awarded from Auction 107 in March 2021, the telco said in a release.
The carrier said it will turn up an “enhanced” 5G offering in the coming weeks, three months ahead of schedule. Earlier this year, US Cellular upgraded more than 440 cell sites in preparation for this spectrum access. The carrier noted that C-Band spectrum technology brings faster data speeds and more capacity.
