I got a bit quick on the trigger to push out the news of the extended range LTE actions from T-Mobile this morning in regards to Orange County and missed the other locations that were also added. In separate announcements from the carrier they also announced the 700MHz frequency being available in Los Angeles California and Austin Texas.
The L.A. areas that should see coverage boost are:
Arcadia, Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Azusa, Baldwin Park, California City, Camarillo, Canoga Park, Chino, Covina, Culver City, Duarte, Encino, Hacienda Heights, La Canada Flintridge, La Crescenta, Lake Elsinore, La Puente, Littlerock, Los Osos, Marina del Rey, Monrovia, Montclair, Montebello, Monterey Park, Moreno Valley, Murrieta, Newhall, North Hills, Ojai, Ontario, Oxnard, Pacific Palisades, Perris, Pomona, Port Hueneme, Porter Ranch, Redlands, Reseda, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Dimas, Santa Maria, Santa Paula, South Pasadena, Rancho Cucamonga, Studio City, Temecula, Tehachapi, Thousand Oaks, Ventura, Victorville, West Covina, West Hills, Westlake Village, Whittier, Winnetka and Woodland Hills.   Â
The Austin areas that should see coverage boosts are:
Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Lake Travis and Kyle (TX)
We can roll that in with the Orange County announcement earlier along with Washington DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia that were announced yesterday. Not to mention Houston, Fresno and Miami over the last week. The perks of living in bigger cities.
Again, not every device is capable of pulling down the frequency to benefit from the spectrum enhancement. Be sure to double check your location from the list above against the list of devices that T-Mobile has graciously provided on their website. If all is copacetic, let us know if you are seeing improved LTE coverage in areas, and buildings, that you weren’t previously able to get it.
