Telecommunications companies use various technologies to transmit information globally.
Some of the largest companies in the telecommunications sector provide fixed-line telephone and wireless services, as well as Internet data and video communications. The telecommunications sector is changing rapidly. Traditional technologies such as wireline telephone, radio, and television once dominated the telecommunications universe, but wireless mobile and Internet technology are quickly becoming the new norm.
These are the 10 biggest telecommunications companies by month trailing TTM revenue. This list is limited to companies that are publicly traded in the U. Some companies outside the U.
The data in this story are from YCharts. Some of the stocks below are only traded over-the-counter OTC in the U. Trading OTC stocks often carries higher trading costs than trading stocks on exchanges. This can lower or even outweigh potential returns. The company also owns and operates regional TV sports networks. Verizon Communications is a holding company that provides communications, information, and entertainment products and services. It offers wireless voice and data services and equipment sales, as well as data and video communications products and services, such as broadband video, data center and cloud services, security and managed network services, and local and long distance voice services.
It offers domestic intra-prefectural communication services, such as fixed voice-related, Internet Protocol IP , and packet communications services, and sells telecommunications equipment. This is an imperfect comparison in a lot of ways. Verizon and Sprint use different spectrum radio frequencies. Sprint, however, uses midband frequencies, which cover a comparatively larger area but are a bit slower, hence the Mbps peaks. That makes Sprint the winner in turning on a larger 5G network that more people can use today.
Here's how Dish figures into the megamerger , too. See for yourself : 5G coverage anywhere in the world. Peak speeds are one thing, but what you'll really care about is how quickly your shows and movies can download. We downloaded some of the same apps and shows in Chicago, Dallas, and LA to try to compare. It's not apples to apples, of course, because of testing constraints that have us in different cities, on different networks using different phones at different times and in one case, a different season of the show -- oops.
The clearest takeaway here is that 5G will be faster than its 4G counterpart in ways you can already see. Heat may throw a wrench into 5G speeds. At around 88 degrees in full sunlight, falling back to a 4G network would keep internal phone temperatures in check -- in addition to any individual devices' internal cooling strategies.
The high-frequency radio waves used by mmWave technology could theoretically cause the phone to overheat, especially when paired with resource-heavy processing that spins up the CPU to its maximum levels, such as downloading large files or streaming in ultra-high quality a future promise for 5G.
This is not the first link between 5G and the weather, though meteorologists' concern that 5G could wreak havoc on atmospheric readings is quite a different consequence and one that the scientific community is actively discussing. On the ground, we'll need to keep an eye out for weather patterns affecting 5G data.
Sprint doesn't have the fastest speeds by a mile, but where the carrier really pulled ahead was in citywide coverage. Our test in Dallas had us on a bus and car driving around the city while seeing download speeds pass between 5G and 4G.
We were able to test on the go, and there was a larger area of the city and Dallas outskirts outfitted with coverage. Meanwhile, in Chicago we didn't get a chance to test in Minneapolis , 5G areas acted more like hotspots.
They work best when you're within a line of sight and to feet away. Coverage zones are smaller and the signal is more finicky, easily obstructed by trees, cars, raindrops -- you name it. Remember, 5G is still in painfully early days. That larger coverage area showed in our Dallas tests, but again, this was one city with its very particular geography, and Sprint took its time to construct its network.
There are a few tradeoffs to consider, but here are some options to look into:. Verizon employs a high-speed mmWave network for its high-end 5G coverage, which is lightning fast but offers a limited range. Big Red now has a more accessible Nationwide 5G network to fill in the gaps, too. See also: Where is 5G available in the US? If you have your heart set on streaming options, Verizon offers a clear advantage. You also get the chance to try out Discovery Plus for up to one year with any of the unlimited options.
