The city of Colorado Springs ranked as one of the most picturesque places in America with view of Pikes Peak and the Rocky Mountain, has been far behind other cities as far as availability of fast and efficient internet is concerned. That is now changing with the emergence of Dish Network new 5 wireless network. Dish is starting to offer 5G in September 2022 in Las Vegas while aiming to cover more cities within the next two years. Colorado Springs is one of the first markets that will get Dish’s super-fast 5G network.
Why Colorado Springs Requires Better Internet
Though the city offers beautiful views of nature and some famous attractions like the Garden of the Gods Park, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and the Broadmoor Resort, it has had its fair share of issues regarding connectivity. Internet speeds in Colorado Springs have generally been 25-50% slower than Denver and other Front Range cities, and there have been less options for high speed internet service providers. This affects the residents’ ability to work from home, use streaming and smart home solutions, and engage in online gaming and other high-bandwidth activities. Internet connection is also another necessity that businesses need in order to function in the current world. To this end, Dish Network seeks to alter this trend in Colorado Springs.
What Dish 5G Offers
Dish is creating a new cloud-based 5G network from the ground up, which is an advantage. Their “Project Gene5is” helps customers in gaining fast wireless speed, low latency for real-time services, and secure connections.
While 4G LTE has a speed of around 10-40 Mbps mostly, DISH guarantees an average download rate of 186 Mbps for 5G consumers with peak data rates exceeding 1 Gbps. All these translate into this lightning-fast connectivity through new mid-band spectrum frequencies, enhanced technologies like Massive MIMO antennas, and appropriately located cell sites, to provide customers with the best 5G experience.
In addition to the top speeds of 10-25 times faster than 4G LTE, Dish Network 5G is built on latency and reliability. Latency is the time it takes for devices to connect to the Internet network, and lower values such as Dish’s expected 30 ms of latency means much more seamless real-time interactivity. This allows for new use cases such as cloud gaming, augmented/virtual reality, autonomous vehicles, and remote health services that require low latency.
Dish 5G also has enterprise-grade network security and encryption, using best standards and practices to protect customers’ information. The network architecture segregates customer traffic, and uses multiple layers of security measures, while Dish works with some of the best security companies to prevent cyber-related risks.
Colorado Springs is still waiting for Dish 5G to hit their town.
Although Dish plans to roll out 5G in September 2022 starting with Las Vegas, the residents of Colorado Springs will be able to enjoy the services of super-fast internet from Dish in 2023. Here Dish already had some infrastructure in place prior to acquiring Boost Mobile in 2020. It is also important to note that their commitment of covering 70% of the US population with Dish 5G by June 2023 will see Colorado Springs as one of the early markets in America to be empowered with lightning-fast 5G in the first half of the year 2022.
Coloradans frustrated with slow DSL, intermittent cable internet, or limited mobile hotspot data should prepare for an unburdened, fully connected future when Dish Network switches on 5G in Colorado Springs. Since the internet has become a necessity for working, school, entertainment and even running a smart home, Dish’s network is more than welcome.
