From PC Mag: If you’re frustrated with video calls or online gaming sessions that drop in and out, you may find a new upgrade from T-Mobile is going to improve your experience. The carrier is rolling out a new low-latency tech to its 5G network to reduce choppiness during intensive tasks.
The technology is called L4S, and it's designed to improve delays stemming from network congestion which give you a stop and start experience in some apps. L4S means "Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable Throughput."
T-Mobile’s blog post says, “L4S consistently delivers low latency, minimal packet loss and real-time responsiveness — even under heavy traffic. It’s a major step forward for performance-driven use cases where every millisecond matters, including cloud gaming, video calling, Extended Reality (XR) and even remote driving.”
T-Mobile is leaning in to next-gen tech, such as remote driving, to talk about L4S with an ad showing what it can do, but many people will first experience the benefits through everyday experiences like FaceTime and other video calling apps.
