T-Mobile Introduces ‘T-Priority’ Featuring the World’s First Network Slice for First Responders

First responders deserve the most advanced connectivity solutions in the world, and T-Mobile is stepping up to answer the call. Today, during T-Mobile's (NASDAQ: TMUS) Capital Markets Day, CEO Mike Sievert unveiled T-Priority, a new solution built with first responders to deliver the unprecedented support they deserve every day and — especially — during massive emergencies. T-Priority includes:

• The world's first network slice for first responders. Built on T-Mobile's 5G Standalone Core, the network slice ensures first responders get lower latency and faster 5G speeds more consistently and it also gives them the highest priority across every single 5G band, even in times of extreme congestion.
• Best-in-class partners. T-Priority comes with a complete and growing support system tailored to first responders’ critical needs, with the latest technological solutions from top industry partners like Motorola Solutions, Ericsson, and 3^rd-Eye Technologies, Inc., who bring a proven heritage of supporting first responder missions.
• An emergency response team dedicated to first responders and public safety. T-Mobile's emergency team is ready 24/7 to support disasters, public safety incidents, large events and more to boost capacity and restore coverage where needed, including mobilizing a fleet of emergency vehicles and rapidly deployable technologies to support first responders, communities and customers.

Because T-Priority was designed for the most scaled and challenging requirements, T-Mobile announced today 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.

“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,” said Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile. “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.”
