AT&T is accelerating its efforts to eliminate subway dead zones throughout New York City, and the latest upgrade focuses on the G train. In collaboration with Boldyn, a global leader in shared communications infrastructure, AT&T has launched 5G service along the G train route between Court Square in Long Island City, Queens, and Bedford–Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn.
5G Service Now Active Along the G Line
The rollout of 5G on the G line marks another major milestone for AT&T’s underground network expansion. Following the recent activation in the Joralemon Street tunnel—connecting Bowling Green in Manhattan to Borough Hall in Brooklyn for the 4 and 5 trains—AT&T continues to be the first carrier providing high-speed 5G service in these critical transit corridors.
John Emra, President of AT&T’s Atlantic Region, remarked in November 2025, “Each new section where we enable coverage brings us closer to creating a fully connected New York City. Our collaboration with Boldyn Networks and the MTA ensures reliable, high-speed 5G is becoming a seamless part of daily transit for New Yorkers. We are proud to be the first and only carrier providing this enhanced experience on the G line.”
