DALLAS, Dec. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Coming on the heels
of yesterday's announcement, we're pleased to announce we're
working with Samsung to bring another standards-based 5G device to
AT&T customers in 2019. This smartphone from Samsung will be
able to access both 5G mmWave and sub-6 GHz. We expect to offer
this device in the second half of 2019. That brings us to
three mobile 5G devices announced to date.
AT&T will be the first U.S. carrier to launch
standards-based mmWave mobile 5G in 2018. We've been enhancing our
nationwide LTE network by installing software upgradeable sub-6 GHz
radios throughout 2018 and into 2019. This will allow us to offer
5G service to more customers in more areas.
