AT&T 5G Trials To Begin In 2016 As Competition Intensifies
Not to be outdone by Verizon, AT&T will begin testing 5G networks later this year as it seeks to gain an advantage in the development of the next generation of wireless communications standards.
Although the technical details of the new wireless communication standard — to be known as 5G — are yet to be finalized, and likely won’t be for several years, U.S. mobile networks are eager to make sure they are ready to offer the new service to their customers when it comes online.
