4G LTE & 5G Coverage In Reno

The table below shows the proportion of Reno with coverage from different cellular technologies.

Network	4G Coverage	5G Coverage
AT&T	100%	99%
T-Mobile	100%	97%

Don't be alarmed by Dish's lack of 4G coverage in Reno. Dish has a newly-built network that's 5G-only.

US Cellular And Dish Roaming Coverage

US Cellular does not have native coverage in Reno. However, some US Cellular subscribers may still have coverage in Reno thanks to roaming agreements.

The 96% figure for Dish may understate what subscribers in Reno experience after accounting for roaming agreements.

Reno Cell Signal Strength

There are 2,654 map hexes within the census-defined boundaries of Reno. The table below shows the proportion of hexes at various levels of signal strength. Where both 4G and 5G coverage is available, data is drawn from whichever technology offers a stronger signal.

Network	Strong	Decent	Weak	None
AT&T	14%	69%	17%	0%
T-Mobile	24%	65%	10%	0%
Verizon	34%	63%	3%	0%
Dish	14%	68%	14%	4%

For most purposes, decent signals are perfectly sufficient. Weak or non-existent signals cause far greater degradation in user experience.

Due to data-reliability concerns, 67 hexes in Reno that fall in bodies water, along rivers, or near shorelines are excluded from the table above.
