AT&T turns on its mobile 5G network on Dec. 21, starting with 12 cities and mobile hotspot
On Friday, Dec. 21, AT&T will turn on its mobile 5G network for the public in 12 cities around the country. The first batch: Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh, Dallas, Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Louisville, Oklahoma City, New Orleans, San Antonio and Waco, Texas.
Unlike Verizon, which launched its first 5G network earlier this year as a home broadband replacement, AT&T’s 5G network will be more traditional to mobile wireless networks. The first device for the network will be a 5G mobile hotspot from Netgear called the Nighthawk 5G Mobile Hotspot.
AT&T has already announced that it will have two Samsung 5G phones next year as well, one in the first half of the year and one in the second half.
Similar to Verizon, AT&T will have a tempting deal for early adopters of the new technology, offering the hotspot and data for free to “select” consumers and business users for “at least” 90 days.
