T-Mobile’s chief broadband officer cites speed and latency gains, rising customer satisfaction
ORLANDO, Nov. 19, 2025 – Fixed wireless access has moved far beyond the rural stopgap many analysts once predicted, T-Mobile’s chief broadband officer Allan Samson said Tuesday, citing the technology now accounts for roughly 11 percent of U.S. broadband subscriptions.
Samson said T-Mobile has migrated all of its fixed wireless customers onto a true, end-to-end 5G core network, rather than routing traffic through older 4G systems, a shift he said has sharply improved speeds and lowered latency. He spoke during a keynote at the Broadband Nation Expo here.
Samson set out to dismantle what he called the industry’s “2021 theses” about the limits of fixed wireless.
