T-Mobile is pioneering the deployment of Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable Throughput (L4S) technology on its 5G network in the U.S., aiming to improve real-time applications like video calls and online gaming by reducing network congestion and latency, without requiring new devices or plans, and preparing for future 5G advancements such as 5.5G.
T-Mobile has rolled out support for Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable Throughput (L4S) across its 5G Advanced network, enhancing the quality of video calls, cloud gaming, and remote driving by reducing lag and buffering through early congestion signals, promising a significant boost in performance even in busy environments.
T-Mobile is expanding support for the L4S standard, a technology that reduces latency and improves the quality of high-priority internet traffic on its 5G network, making services like video calls and cloud gaming smoother without requiring special devices or plans. This marks T-Mobile as the first US wireless provider to implement L4S, which helps manage network congestion more efficiently and is already deployed in several cities on their 5G Advanced network.
A new internet standard called L4S (Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable Throughput) aims to reduce latency and improve internet speed by minimizing queuing and congestion. L4S allows packets to indicate if they have experienced congestion during their journey, enabling devices to make immediate adjustments to prevent further congestion. Companies like Apple, Google, Comcast, and Nokia have shown interest in L4S, and some cable modems already support it. While L4S is not widely deployed yet, it has the potential to significantly improve the user experience of web browsing, video streaming, and real-time applications like game streaming and VR.
