EchoStar Corporation filed a letter with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certifying that its nationwide 5G network provides download speeds of 35 Mbps or greater to over 70% of the U.S. population. This certification follows the successful completion of a nationwide drive test, fulfilling the final element of EchoStar's 2023 deployment commitments to the FCC. The drive test, conducted using an FCC-approved methodology and overseen by an independent monitor, is the third and final component of EchoStar's023 Nationwide 5G Deployment Commitment to the FCC.

Today's certification follows other major milestones for the Boost Wireless Network, including the announcement that EchoStar is now providing Voice over New Radio (VoNR) service, or 5G voice, to over 200 million Americans nationwide. The VoNR deployment is the largest commercial deployment of this technology to date.
