It's taken months longer than expected.
It has taken months longer than expected, but Dish Network plans later today to commercially launch its homegrown 5G cell service to consumers in Las Vegas.: Dish Network has relied on T-Mobile's network to power its Boost prepaid wireless service, but has been working to build out its own nationwide 5G network and service. It also owns huge swaths of wireless airwaves purchased in government auctions.
The service, dubbed Project Genesis, uses OpenRAN, a new type of cellular networking gear based on standard computing technology.and, even with the launch, Dish is aiming for tech-savvy early adopters rather than mainstream consumers. Dish is starting with a single phone, the Motorola 5G Edge+, but plans to quickly add support for more devices.: The executive cited a number of reasons for the delayed launch, including the novel technology that powers it, as well as Dish's decision to add a roaming agreement with AT&T on top of one with T-Mobile.: U.S. regulators approved T-Mobile's Sprint purchase in 2020 in part because of an agreement to establish Dish as a new fourth nationwide competitor.
Dish's relationship with T-Mobile has become fraught since T-Mobile announced its plans to shut down Sprint's older CDMA wireless network, a service still being used by a significant number of Boost customers., while T-Mobile insists it has given Dish more than the required notice of its shutdown plan.
