Since 5g networks There is a limited capacity, this growth will eventually end. Wireless companies rely on the same networks to serve 330 million smartphone users in the United States.
Both T Mobile And Veraizon It is said that they use their network resources faster, and according to some Burnstein analysts, their network may begin to crowded before 2030.
We believe that the symbols of the next major crowded point may appear before the decade turn

The spectrum deficiency will begin to affect consumers in early 2026, and by 2027 the network will not be able to meet about a quarter of traffic in high traffic areas during peak hours. It will only deteriorate only 27 % of the peak demand, which is completed by 2035. Without more spectrums, it would be difficult to improve capacity, as other levers, as well as spectrum production, decrease a significant reduction.

Okla’s results appear to support this, with the contact company reported that FWA has been offered T Mobile And Veraizon The last one year has been significantly increasing. If the networks were given more burden, it would not happen.
Burnstein’s analysts found it too T MobileFWA users use about 30 times more data from smartphone users. According to their estimates, Veraizon Using about 83 83 % of the network’s total capacity, T Mobile Is using about 68 68 % of what is available, and AT & T It is using 44 % of its total capacity.
He warned that his calculation is “not an absolute step of use” and that does not mean that careers are working close to 100 % use of their capacity. “
For now, there is no need to worry about capacity barriers. However, it is important to point out that future demand is difficult to predict based on today’s network, so FWA providers want to start searching for new spectrum sources.
