T-Mobile introduces ‘T-Priority’ for first responders

During T-Mobile’s (TMUS) Capital Markets Day, CEO Mike Sievert unveiled “T-Priority,” which the company says is “a new solution built with first responders to deliver the unprecedented support they deserve every day and – especially – during massive emergencies.” The company stated: “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. 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 (MSI), Ericsson (ERIC), and 3rd-Eye Technologies, Inc., who bring a proven heritage of supporting first responder missions.” T-Mobile added: “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.”
