Over the past three years, T-Mobile has invested heavily in
network improvements across Arkansas, building its network up to

UC coverage in just three years.
"As the leaders in 5G it’s our responsibility to make sure
everyone has access to fast, reliable and affordable connectivity,"
said Ulf Ewaldsson, President of Technology, T-Mobile. "Our
multi-year effort to enhance 5G connectivity across Arkansas is the
latest example in how were stretching our 5G blanket to every
corner of the nation, no matter where you are.”
The multi-year network enhancements include newly deployed 5G
coverage and capacity enhancements, with 170 new cell sites and
upgrades to more than 450 existing sites. Statewide, T-Mobile now
provides 5G service along 97% of interstate highways, U.S.

“By bringing high-speed 5G connectivity to more areas of
Arkansas, we are making it easier for people to stay connected with
their loved ones, access educational opportunities and grow their
businesses,” said Senator Mark Johnson, Chairman of the Senate
Transportation, Technology and Legislative Affairs Committee. “I
applaud T-Mobile and other 5G wireless providers for their
commitment to our State and for helping us get even closer to
closing the digital divide.”

in connectivity,” added Representative Stephen Meeks, Chairman of
the House Advanced Communications and Information Technology

Community and Disaster Support
T-Mobile's commitment to Arkansas goes beyond the network and
retail, with initiatives created to empower communities across the
nation:
- Hometown Grants — a five-year program launched in early 2021 to
provide grants to 100 small towns each year to use toward city
beautification projects, public improvements and more. To date,
T-Mobile has provided $200,000 to four towns across the state –
Camden, Clarksville, Osceola and Russellville – to revitalize
outdoor green spaces and renovate community buildings. Towns with
populations of less than 50,000 are eligible and encouraged to
apply. To date, T-Mobile has dedicated over $1 million to empower
small businesses through initiatives such as revitalizing farmers'
markets, fostering business incubators, and enhancing city main
streets.
- Project 10Million — offers internet connectivity and mobile
hotspots to eligible students to help close the digital divide. The
company has connected over 16,000 students, from over 60 school
districts across Arkansas and is also offering school districts
free and heavily subsidized data plans and access to affordable
laptops and tablets through Project 10Million and its other
education initiatives.
- Connecting Heroes — a $7.7 billion program empowering first
responders with subsidized rate plans and wireless priority service
for both voice and data. Arkansas first responders utilizing the
program will be leveraging T-Mobile's 5G network during critical
moments to keep communities across the state safe.
- T-Mobile has also increased investments in network hardening
nationwide by more than 30% over the past few years, which includes
expanded backup power solutions at nearly 50% of cell sites in
Arkansas—the most critical locations—to help ensure redundancy and
reduce service interruptions in case of severe weather or other
emergencies. In the last year, T-Mobile also added over 50% more
heavy-duty network disaster response satellite vehicles to its
ready-to-respond fleet and expanded its community support fleet
with new, fully loaded RV command centers and heavy-duty Wi-Fi
vehicles.
