Google Fi ‘super network’ aims to erase dead zones with the ability switch between two 5G cellular networks
Google Fi is rolling out its super network that lets select Pixel phones seamlessly switch between two 5G network carriers when one's signal begins to weaken.
Google Fi, a mobile network provider, is set to launch a 'super network' in 2026 to eliminate dead zones. This innovative network will seamlessly switch between two 5G cellular networks, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity for users. The feature will initially be available on Google Pixel 9 and newer devices. It will be powered by Multiple Enabled Profiles (MEP) eSIM technology, allowing a single physical eSIM to run two carrier profiles simultaneously.
This is not Google Fi's first attempt at multi-network support; the service was part of Project Fi when it launched in 2015. The super network will utilize T-Mobile as the primary carrier, with the secondary carrier being a major U.S. carrier with over 1 million customers. Google Fi's new network will also include Wi-Fi Auto-Connect+, which automatically connects to high-quality public Wi-Fi networks, eliminating the need for users to manually connect. This feature will make Google Fi's services practically effortless, whether at home or abroad.
