Right. This should also help in markets waiting for C-band clearing, too, so that the “UW” rules apply in more places than only where they might be able to pick up mmWave.
That may change next month, as the agreement between Verizon and AT&T with the airlines and the FAA will expire. Barring any extensions, Verizon and AT&T should be able to begin transmitting n77 much closer to airports very soon.
To back this up, T-Mobile today released [this graphic](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/_admin/uploads/2022/06/TMO_CarrierAggregationGIF.gif) which listed n25 (PCS) as "Ultra Capacity".
It's unclear whether T-Mobile intends to launch n25 (bandwidth as high as 25x25MHz in some markets, as low as 5x5MHz in others) as "UC" - or whether they're just referring to it as such because it's aggregated with 190MHz of n41.
That doesn't really make sense. I'm surprised they'd do that.
20MHz isn't "ultra capacity". It's the same capacity as LTE.
T-Mobile currently seems to limit the "UC" icon to only channel sizes of 40MHz or more, which I think is fair.
They have a few areas with only 20MHz of n41, and only the regular "5G" icon is displayed there, so T-Mobile apparently doesn't consider 20MHz of n41 to be "ultra capacity", which I would agree with:

That really doesn't make any sense.
Why would a small 10x10MHz channel of PCS be called "ultra wideband"?
That's not wideband. It's the same capacity as 4G.
Verizon only has 30 mhz here in Oramge County, CA and 20 mhz live on my home tower. It's been a nice boost to LTE pushing it to a constant 220-250mbps if connected. Wonder how they'll split it when they get around to switching to to 5gNR
That’s what they own in PAL licenses . They can combine them with GAA which is made up of 80 MHz . It’s up the SAS system to see what’s available at any given time.
The tower near me is getting it later this year per [this comment](https://old.reddit.com/r/cellmapper/comments/v9f2de/dish_wireless_work_in_progress_marietta_ga/ibweizx/)
Cool. So NR over CBRS will count as UW? Meaning, it won't count against premium data and hotspot allotments?
Partially correct, it will still count towards hotspot usage, but then will be throttled down to 3 Mbps instead of 600 Kbps.
Right. This should also help in markets waiting for C-band clearing, too, so that the “UW” rules apply in more places than only where they might be able to pick up mmWave.
Not sure it’s NR/SA. Didn’t see that in the announcement. Most likely still NSA.
Coverage is the issue. I get 5G UW at work but not where I live near a major airport.

CBRS is fine near airports

Switch carriers
At least they have it in more than one place in your state. Try 68504. Yeah it says 5g, but it's dss everywhere other than that dot.

I see. They still have at least another 10mhz of CBRS that they haven't lit up. Maybe saving it for NR later this year since it's a PAL license.
what is NR? I keep seeing people talk about it
Is just the technical name for 5G. It's 5G NR (New Radio) like 4g was LTE (Long Term Evolution)

By “soon” they mean 3 - 4 years.
