At T-Mobile’s Capital Markets Day, CEO Mike Sievert has unveiled T-Priority, a new solution built with first responders to deliver the unprecedented support they need during massive emergencies. T-Priority includes the world’s first network slice for first responders, best-in-class partners, and an emergency response team dedicated to first responders and public safety.
Because T-Priority was designed for the most scaled and challenging requirements, T-Mobile announced yesterday that the City of New York will be the anchor customer for T-Priority. The City of New York is leveraging their partnership with T-Mobile’s leading network for their employees, as the city continues to innovate and implement cutting-edge technologies.
T-Priority is a first-of-its-kind solution to keep first responders connected in the 5G era of public safety. The world’s first network slice for first responders helps ensure best-in-class connectivity, not just day-to-day, but also in times of extreme congestion, and supports a wide range of data-intensive applications that make up an increasing share of traffic in the day-to-day lives of first responders.
T-Priority’s new first responder rate plans launch later this year and are available for state, local and federal agencies. They’re also available to businesses, like utility and transportation organizations, that provide critical support during emergencies.
Mike Sievert, CEO, T-Mobile
First responders put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities, and they deserve nothing less than the most advanced connectivity solutions to do their critical work. With T-Priority, we’re more committed than ever to serving those who serve us all by delivering a dedicated 5G solution to agencies of all sizes across the country. At T-Mobile, our job is to make sure first responders can count on a consistent 5G experience that will evolve to meet the changing needs of the first responder mission, backed by a dedicated, award-winning support system, to be ready when it matters most.
Matthew Fraser, New York City Chief Technology Officer
Our north star for the City of New York is to make it safer and more affordable for all New Yorkers, including our dedicated public servants. Providing our agencies and all city employees with the latest technologies is crucial to achieving this mission, and with T-Priority we will continue to do so.
