Dish’s Boost Wireless Expands, Now Covers 140M People

John Swieringa, President of Technology and COO of DISH Wireless, stated, “Our network covers over 73 percent of the U.S. population with broadband, and we haven’t stopped there.”

“The Boost Wireless Network is the largest commercial deployment of 5G voice, or VoNR, in the world. It already reaches more than 140 million Americans in over 85 markets,”

Swieringa added, “The continued rollout of VoNR markets every month allows us to compete at scale as the nation’s 4th wireless carrier.”

Dish claimed that voice over new radio (VoNR), which depends only on 5G for service, is now supported by Boost Mobile and Boost Infinite.

Dish goes by the brand Boost Mobile for its prepaid service, and for its postpaid services, it is known as Boost Infinite. The monthly cost of the Boost Mobile is $15, whereas the monthly cost of the Boost Infinite is $25.

As a condition of T-Mobile acquiring Sprint, Dish purchased the Boost Mobile business, which at the time was solely prepaid. The deal closure was done in 2020.

In June 2022, after two years, Dish announced that it had introduced Project Genesis, a 5G cellular service, in over 120 markets. Tier 2 cities, including Tuscaloosa, AL; Midland, MI; Boise, ID; and the three Springfields (Massachusetts, Illinois, and Missouri), were the main focus.

In addition, the business has arrangements with T-Mobile and AT&T to use their networks to sustain the service where Dish’s network is unavailable.
