Sprint To Provide 5G Wireless Services For Google Fi

(RTTNews) - Sprint (S) and Google said that they will expand their Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) partnership to include 5G. As part of Google and Sprint's continued collaboration, both parties have committed to delivering technology to Google Fi customers, enabled by 5G services from Sprint.

Google Fi, Google's wireless service that uses intelligent technology to give their customers the best available network using a combination of wireless providers and Wi-Fi where available has been active on the Sprint network since 2015.

When this rolls out, Google Fi customers with Sprint 5G compatible Designed for Fi phones in a 5G coverage area will be automatically connected to the network, quite similar to today's seamless transitions between cellular networks, depending on the location.
