Jul 03, 2025 | Posted by Abdul-Rahman Oladimeji

T-Mobile, in an announcement this week, said the multi-year expansion of its 5G network has concluded. The carrier said it has upgraded new and existing cell sites across the state.

In total, the carrier has upgraded 1,350 sites across Florida, while also bolstering 1,375 sites to shore up emergency response and disaster recovery. It now has 1,282 new or retained sites from the merger with Sprint across Florida.


"The investment we’ve made is bringing real benefits to the people and businesses that call this state home, not just with the fastest speeds, but with increased resiliency and reliability in moments that matter most,” said Ulf Ewaldsson, president of technology, T-Mobile.

“With the country’s only 5G Advanced network and as the nation’s first provider with a direct-to-cell satellite network, we’re on track to deliver an even better network experience to Floridians - years before anyone else.”
