Terrific Tech - Boost Mobile Updates

 Boost Mobile is no longer an MVNO, but the newest nationwide 5G network in the U.S. This coming Monday, Boost Mobile is announcing several significant news updates including:

• Boost Mobile’s cloud-native, owned-and-operated 5G network now covers more than 70% of the U.S. population, with coverage across 99% of the country via roaming partners.
• Boost will be investing more than $10 billion in its 5G network build-out, which is already delivering faster speeds than AT&T and Verizon according to a recent study by Ookla. (On the latest devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S24 and iPhone 16 series, consumers can experience speeds of up to 1 Gbps.)
• Boost Mobile is the next challenger brand in wireless—delivering faster and more reliable 5G at just a fraction of the cost—up to 40% savings compared to plans from other national carriers.
• Boost Mobile is also announcing several new holiday offers on Monday, building on its momentum with its Free Year of Service and iPhone 16 Pro Max on Us offers that have been extremely popular with consumers (with the iPhone 16 Pro Max already the best selling iPhone model among Boost Mobile customers)
• Last but not least, Boost Mobile is announcing the Summit 5G on Monday, an affordable 5G smartphone exclusive to Boost Mobile.

 

“Boost Mobile is shaking up the wireless industry as the newest nationwide carrier in the U.S., providing fast and reliable 5G connectivity at a fraction of the cost compared to other major carriers,” said Abbas Khan, VP of Radio Access Network Engineering at Boost Mobile. “With our nationwide cloud-native 5G network now available and 99% coverage across the U.S., Boost Mobile customers have access to more towers than with any other carrier. There has never been a better time for consumers to switch to Boost Mobile, as consumers can buy the latest smartphones and save up to 40% on their annual wireless bill.”

 

Boost Mobile also makes it easy for customers to choose a plan without the excessive costs, complexity or hidden fees, common among the legacy providers. Boost Mobile believes how you pay is not a product and consumers should have the freedom to buy fast and reliable 5G service exactly the way they want to.

 

This holiday season, Boost Mobile is also offering unbeatable deals on the latest 5G devices:

• Get $1,000 off the latest iPhone 16 or Samsung Galaxy devices through Boost’s Infinite Access plan, with the added benefit of upgrading to a new device every year—no trade-in required.
• Free Year of Service with the purchase of an iPhone 16 or Samsung Galaxy device (or any smartphone over $299) through BoostMobile.com, with no contracts or trade-ins required.
• Save big on affordable 5G smartphones such as the new Summit 5G, Moto g Coach Prime '24 or Celero 5G+, all exclusive to Boost Mobile, offering high-speed broadband 5G connectivity. 

 

Boost Mobile’s nationwide 5G network is the first and only 5G standalone cloud-native Open RAN 5G network in the world. This innovative approach empowers Boost Mobile to deliver lightning-fast, reliable 5G connectivity more efficiently, while passing the cost savings on to consumers. 

 

“At Boost Mobile, we’re focused on delivering customers real value, while other carriers are overcharging consumers for 5G wireless and putting restrictions around how they buy it,” noted Chris Belter, VP of Wireless Products, Boost Mobile. “With our nationwide cloud-native 5G network and affordable plans, we’re making it easier than ever for people to switch to Boost Mobile and save hundreds of dollars annually compared to other major carriers – all without requiring a contract or trade-in.”

 

Not only is Boost Mobile delivering 5G speeds that are lightning fast, but it’s also providing its 5G experience on a growing number of devices that support 4-carrier aggregation (4cc), such as the Samsung Galaxy S24. By merging 100 MHz of spectrum across four channels for downlink and two for uplink, Boost Mobile creates a superhighway for data, significantly increasing speed and capacity. Recent tests have shown peak 4cc speeds reaching up to 1 Gbps, with more compatible devices set to launch early next year.
