DISH NETWORK
Mobility and Milestones The physical buildout of the DISH 5G network , led by Dave Mayo , has come to life in an unprecedented amount of time .
A major milestone for the company was reached in June 2022 , when DISH announced that its newly built 5G network was deployed and commercially available to more than 20 % of the US population , through its Project Genesis brand . This was achieved in a build of just 14 months - a feat that has never been achieved before .
The service is now commercially available across more than 120 markets and customers can purchase the DISH service and phones throughout the US .
In addition to supporting those customers , DISH will also be launching other services under different brands on its network .
Consistently affirming its reputation for quality and innovation , DISH has introduced a number of pioneering connectivity solutions to the American market . These include its Project Genesis , for which DISH launched the United States ’ first cloud-native Smart 5G network , and Boost Mobile , which provides best-in-class value and connectivity to American wireless consumers , through DISH Wireless ’ largest retail wireless brand .
DISH has already launched a mobile service in Las Vegas that uses VoNR ( Voice Over New Radio ). Remarkably , DISH is the first operator in North America to actually deploy commercial services with VoNR , which it launched back in May of 2022 .
In addition to the US Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) build requirements , DISH has also established roaming agreements with two network service providers .
“ These really give us the opportunity to have an immediate , nationwide footprint ,” comments Mayo . EXECUTIVE BIO
