T-Mobile US is preparing to invest further in spectrum in 2027. Spectrum is the range of radio frequencies used to carry wireless signals; Deutsche Telekom CEO Tim Höttges described forthcoming US auctions as an opportunity to strengthen the company’s spectrum and network position.
Deutsche Telekom is also exploring a joint bid with three other operators for European mobile satellite service spectrum. Höttges said the group intends to apply for 20 MHz.
