Bailey Zimmerman Celebrates Hometown with T-Mobile 5G Upgrade
Country music star Bailey Zimmerman partnered with T-Mobile to bring a 5G network upgrade to his hometown of Dierks, Arkansas, culminating in a celebratory “Friday Night 5G Lights” event at Dierks High School. The initiative aims to provide enhanced connectivity for students, residents, and the entire community.
the upgrade, announced this week, represents a important investment in rural connectivity and underscores T-Mobile’s commitment to bridging the digital divide. For Dierks, a small town where opportunities can feel limited, the improved network access symbolizes a renewed sense of possibility and support, according to local leaders. The project isn’t just about faster internet; it’s about empowering the next generation and demonstrating that big dreams can flourish even in small towns.
“I think what makes this win so special is how seen our community feels,” Dierks High School Head Football Coach, Paul Ernest, said in a press release. “In a small town, kids sometimes hear it’s time to give up those big dreams.But this win from T-Mobile tells them the opposite-it says it’s okay to keep dreaming, to keep fighting for those astronaut and rock star moments. And that’s a beautiful thing.”
The “Friday Night 5G Lights” event featured Zimmerman, a dierks High School graduate, and highlighted the positive impact of the new 5G network.T-Mobile’s investment aims to provide students with the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world, while also supporting local businesses and fostering community growth.
