For the Mid-Atlantic markets, UScellular deployed Samsung\u2019s 5G Compact Macro, a 3GPP-based distributed architecture solution, to enable mmWave connectivity<\/h2>\n

Samsung Electronics announced that UScellular has expanded its 5G network capabilities in the Mid-Atlantic region using Samsung\u2019s 5G solutions.<\/p>\n

In a release, Samsung noted that the companies have collaborated to implement a new network architecture featuring Samsung\u2019s 5G mmWave and virtualized Radio Access Network (vRAN) technology to accommodate UScellular\u2019s increasing fixed wireless access and mobile traffic.<\/p>\n

In November, the U.S. carrier introduced this service in multiple markets across the region.<\/p>\n

For the Mid-Atlantic markets, UScellular deployed Samsung\u2019s 5G Compact Macro, a 3GPP-based distributed architecture solution, to enable mmWave connectivity and provide customers with high-speed mobile and broadband services. The vendor explained that its Compact Macro integrates the baseband, radio and antenna into a single, lightweight unit for efficient installation. Samsung\u2019s mmWave technology gives the operator access to the 28GHz and 39GHz frequency bands, allowing for high-speed, low-latency connectivity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to work with Samsung as we continue to enhance our next-generation network,\u201d said Mike Dienhart, vice president of Engineering and Network Operations, at UScellular. \u201cTapping into the ultra-high bandwidth of the mmWave spectrum allows us to unleash new capabilities and deliver cutting-edge customer experiences. Samsung\u2019s proven expertise in innovative 5G and vRAN makes them an ideal partner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under the deal, Samsung is also providing its vRAN solution with Central Unit functionality to support UScellular\u2019s virtualized network. Samsung\u2019s vRAN offers additional bandwidth and intelligent features, including energy-saving capabilities, while enabling the operator to scale capacity and deploy advanced services efficiently.<\/p>\n

Wilf Norrlinger, vice president of US Sales, Networks Business, at Samsung Electronics America, said: \u201cThis collaboration showcases how our innovations in areas such as vRAN and mmWave are unlocking new capabilities.<\/p>\n

Samsung and UScellular also said they continue working together to develop new network configurations that support the operator\u2019s expanding fixed wireless customer base.<\/p>\n

UScellular previously reported a continued downward slide in its total operating revenues, service revenues and net income, as it proceeds with selling assets and shifting its business into being a telecom infrastructure provider rather than a mobile network operator. However, Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) customer base continues to grow, up 32% year-over-year to 140,000 at end Q3-2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UScellular President and CEO Laurent Therivel previously said in a conference call with investors that the company believes that the proposed sale of its wireless operations to T-Mobile US is on track to close in mid-2025. \u201cWe remain confident that the transaction with T-Mobile is the best long-term solution for our customers as it gives them the long-term benefits of greater scale and a more competitive network,\u201d Therivel said.<\/p>\n

T-Mobile US plans to buy<\/a> about 30% of UScellular\u2019s spectrum, plus its wireless subscribers, operations and network assets except for the company\u2019s owned towers for about $4.4 billion. UScellular will retain the nearly 4,400 towers that it owns, as well as about 70% of its spectrum and its equity method investments including its wireless partnerships, which the company said generated about $158 million in income last year.<\/p>\n

UScellular is the fifth largest tower company in the United States, and this deal would solidify that position. The two companies said that they are going to put together a new, 15-year master lease agreement under which T-Mo will become a long-term tenant on at least 2,600 of UScellular\u2019s towers, guaranteeing the company an income stream for years to come. T-Mobile US is already a tenant on about 600 of UScellular\u2019s towers, and it will become a tenant on at least another 2,105 sites after the deal.<\/p>\n

Separately, UScellular struck another deal with Verizon<\/a> to sell some of its remaining spectrum for about $1 billion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
