On Dec. 21, AT&T will be the first and only company in the U.S. to offer a mobile 5G device over a commercial, standards-based mobile 5G network. We’ve worked closely with our technology suppliers to reach this mobile 5G milestone. While the initial launch starts small and will be limited, as the 5G ecosystem evolves customers will see enhancements in coverage, speeds and devices.
“This is the first taste of the mobile 5G era,” said Andre Fuetsch, president, AT&T Labs and chief technology officer. “Being first, you can expect us to evolve very quickly. It’s early on the 5G journey and we’re ready to learn fast and continually iterate in the months ahead.”
The first device to work with AT&T's 5G network is the Netgear Nighthawk 5G Mobile Hotspot. Select businesses and consumers will be able to get the hotspot with 5G data usage at no cost for at least 90 days. Next spring, customers will be able to purchase the Nighthawk for $499. 15GB of data will be $70/month on a compatible plan.
