Good times ahead for AT&T: the telco has outlined a three-year plan to enhance its 5G and fiber services across the United States, projecting that its free cash flow will exceed $18 billion by 2027, Reuters reports.
But what will this 5G expansion be like?
AT&T is planning significant advancements to its mid-band 5G network and core operations to enhance connectivity and efficiency. By the end of this year, the company aims to extend its 5G radio access network (RAN) to cover 270 million people, with plans to reach over 300 million by the close of 2026.
Chief Technology Officer Jeremy Legg noted that AT&T is moving from a fragmented core network system – previously divided for services like IoT, enterprise, voice, and data – toward a single, distributed, cloud-native core.
