BELLEVUE, Wash. and OMAHA, Nebr. — June 5, 2023

core/paragraph

What’s the news: Valmont completed an industry-first, unmanned 77-mile beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operation, enabled by T-Mobile 5G.

Why it matters: BVLOS flights are taking off (literally!) thanks to their ability to reach remote or inaccessible areas more efficiently and quickly collect and share data.By leveraging the nation’s largest and fastest 5G network, drones equipped with cameras and sensors can capture high-resolution video and imagery used for near real-time analysis, monitoring and critical decision-making.

Who it’s for: Anyone who needs to “put eyes” on nearly any type of infrastructure, agriculture, solar and wind farms, power lines, disaster relief areas and more.

The Un-carrier has earned its wings! Valmont Industries Inc. and T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced the completion of an industry-first long-distance BVLOS drone inspection flight enabled by 5G.

Traditional methods for infrastructure monitoring typically require extensive manpower, manned aircraft operations or ground-based inspections, which involve significant safety risks, more time and more money.

But not anymore ― especially now that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is granting more waivers for BVLOS drone operations. And as one of the first companies in the U.S. to receive said waiver, Valmont is ahead of the game. &nbsp;

In under three hours, Valmont accomplished a non-stop 77-mile drone mission from Childress to Aspermont, Texas inspecting vital infrastructure like power lines, railroads, bridges and more. The drone used a <a href="https://www.harrisaerial.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Harris Aerial</a> H6E drone equipped with a T-Mobile 5G connected Sony A7RM5 camera. Significantly faster and more fuel efficient, this task was three times faster than conventional methods, while using less than two gallons of fuel.

Valmont drone inspection teams used less than one-fourth gallon of fuel per hour.

core/list-item

Flight pushes average distance of UAS inspections from less than 20 miles per day to more than 60.

Even though the route was very rural, T-Mobile 5G provided live data transfer throughout the three-hour flight.

The Sony A7RM5 combined with the ability to fly closely to utility lines, provided high-resolution details for critical infrastructure inspection.

The flight proves that drones are a viable, safe, and efficient alternative to helicopters for infrastructure.

Harris Aerial’s drone and Valmont’s proprietary payload are fully National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) compliant.

“Range has been a hurdle in the drone inspection space, until now,” said Jake Lahmann, UAS Manager at Valmont Industries Inc. “To be able to get this kind of range in a single drone flight is really going to revolutionize the way the industry approaches infrastructure inspections.”

“5G was built to make life easier,” added Ulf Ewaldsson, President of Technology at T-Mobile. "Whether it’s connecting a person on their smartphone or improving long-range drone infrastructure inspections, there is no doubt that the reach and speed of T-Mobile 5G is making it possible for entire industries to revolutionize the way they work." 

With 5G, Valmont’s drone inspection service is another <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-5g-powers-pano-ai-wildfire-detection-system" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">example of 5G-enabled technologies</a> that can be used to quickly respond to or prevent an emergency. By preemptively monitoring infrastructure sites with greater accuracy, Valmont can help prevent malfunctions and breakdowns before they have a chance to have a widespread impact.

tmobile-blocks/slideshow

Working closely with the FAA on BVLOS drone operation policies, Valmont plans to offer drone-in-a-box (DiaB) services nationwide in 2024. This enables anyone needing aerial inspection services the ability to order a drone, unbox it and watch it run its inspection while a Valmont pilot flies it remotely from virtually anywhere in the U.S.

T-Mobile US and Deutsche Telekom Reveal 2022/23 T Challenge Winners - T-Mobile Newsroom

BELLEVUE, Wash. — May 4, 2023

What’s the news: T-Mobile worked with Nokia and Qualcomm to reach uplink speeds topping 200 Mbps in a 5G data call leveraging uplink carrier aggregation – the first-ever on a live commercial 5G standalone network in the U.S.

Why it matters: Increased uplink speeds allow greater amounts of data to be transmitted from customer devices at a quicker rate, enhancing applications like video livestreaming/calling, gaming and Extended Reality (XR).

Who it’s for: T-Mobile 5G customers nationwide.&nbsp;

Speed … UP! T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) announced today it achieved another 5G U.S. first by leveraging uplink (UL) carrier aggregation in the field on the country’s only nationwide 5G standalone (SA) network. Working with Nokia and a test smartphone powered by Snapdragon® 5G Modem-RF System from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., the Un-carrier hit a top UL speed of 207 Mbps in the test – the fastest ever recorded using sub-6 GHz spectrum! This comes just weeks after T-Mobile made the same move in the lab, hitting similar speeds.

“T-Mobile has led the industry with 5G standalone since 2020, and we're continuing to drive breakthroughs that advance 5G technology around the globe,” said Ulf Ewaldsson, President of Technology at T-Mobile. “We’re building the most advanced 5G network in the world, opening the door for massive innovation and laying the foundation for new capabilities that will transform the world around us.”

5G carrier aggregation allows T-Mobile to combine multiple channels (or carriers) to deliver greater speed and performance. In this test, the Un-carrier merged two 5G channels of mid-band spectrum – 2.5 GHz Ultra Capacity 5G and 1900 MHz. That’s like taking two separate highways and turning them into a superhighway where traffic can zoom faster than before. Customers with compatible devices will begin taking advantage of UL 5G carrier aggregation early next year when T-Mobile begins rolling it out.

This is just the latest in a series of important 5G SA milestones for T-Mobile. The Un-carrier was the <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/standalone-5g-launch">first in the world</a> to launch a nationwide 5G SA network in 2020 – one that remains the ONLY nationwide 5G SA network in the U.S. Since then, T-Mobile has been driving toward a true 5G-only experience for customers by spearheading advancements like <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-advances-5g-standalone-to-deliver-faster-speeds-and-enhanced-performance">carrier aggregation and VoNR</a>.

The Un-carrier’s 5G network covers 326 million people across 2 million square miles – more than AT&amp;T and Verizon combined. 275 million people nationwide are covered by T-Mobile’s super-fast Ultra Capacity 5G, and the Un-carrier plans to reach 300 million people with Ultra Capacity – nearly everyone in the country – this year.

The Nation&#8217;s Most Awarded 5G Network Shows Who&#8217;s Boss with Another Win

BELLEVUE, Wash. — April 26, 2023

What’s the news: T-Mobile has selected nine companies from around the world to participate in this year's T-Mobile Accelerator program to drive innovation in sports and entertainment. As part of the program, participants will create innovative experiences that leverage 5G to take spectators out of their seats and into the action.

Why it matters: Since 2012, the T-Mobile Accelerator program has worked with nearly 100 different startups, developers and innovators to support and introduce emerging technologies that transform the way consumers live and businesses operate.

America's Leading Wireless Network Tops Competitors in New Industry Expert Report - T-Mobile Newsroom

America&#8217;s Leading Wireless Network Tops Competitors in New Industry Expert Report

T-Mobile has long been a participant in the FCC’s spectrum auctions, which the Commission has used for 30 years to rapidly assign licenses. These auctions fuel the U.S. economy—they’ve returned <a href="https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-391576A1.pdf">$233 billion</a> to taxpayers so far, and once armed with this spectrum, wireless companies have spent <a href="https://www.ctia.org/news/u-s-wireless-investment-hits-record-high">another $635 billion</a> building out networks. American consumers benefit from these investments—they’ve resulted in the world’s best 5G service that is now a platform for innovators and has created millions of jobs.

That’s why Congress must act now to renew the FCC’s spectrum auction authority, which lapsed in March for the first time in 30 years. Without such authority, the FCC can’t auction licenses, and there’s no other practical way to bring more spectrum to market. That’s a massive competitive disadvantage for the United States and a disadvantage for American consumers. &nbsp;

Pumping more spectrum into the marketplace has benefitted Americans with faster and more capable networks that, for example, have allowed T-Mobile to offer home internet service over our 5G network to millions of underserved consumers. As consumer and business demands increase (customers with 5G phones on our Magenta MAX plan now use nearly 40 GBs per month), so does the requirement for more spectrum. The U.S. needs a certain and reliable spectrum pipeline to meet Americans’ current and future needs.

For our part, T-Mobile has been working tirelessly to build and deploy the largest and fastest 5G network with our existing spectrum assets. Mid-band spectrum has given us the gas in the tank to supercharge our 5G network and offer home internet service that is bringing competition to cable. In fact, we are now the fastest growing broadband provider in the U.S. So, when T-Mobile bid on, won and paid over $300 million for licenses in the most recent FCC auction (Auction 108), we made plans to immediately put that spectrum to use for consumers.

But the FCC did not grant our licenses prior to the lapse of auction authority, and they’re now stuck in regulatory limbo. Those licenses support wireless service in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. They will boost speeds and bring mid-band 5G to consumers for the first time in some places. Many of the licenses sold cover rural areas where the spectrum has been dormant, sitting on the shelf at the FCC for nearly 30 years. In cities and suburbs, the licenses will allow us to create more consistent speed and capacity across metro areas.

Even though auction authority has lapsed, we strongly believe the FCC still has the power to issue the licenses from the last auction. After all, the auction finished successfully before the authority lapsed and all that’s left to do is routine processing of licenses from the completed auction. We’re not alone in that view. Four former FCC General Counsels <a href="https://www.jenner.com/a/web/e32ms32xaUDSdv4qRruD9P/fcc-auction-authority.pdf">have said</a> the FCC’s power to issue the stranded licenses is “unambiguous.” And regardless, T-Mobile will continue pushing Congress to renew the FCC’s auction authority right away, so we hope this issue becomes moot.

The good news is that the FCC has a backup tool to light up this key mid-band spectrum, bringing more 5G to more Americans. The Commission can grant Special Temporary Authority, or STAs, to allow us to turn on service while Congress finds a path forward on auction authority. The FCC grants STAs to utilize spectrum when extraordinary circumstances exist. We think that a once-in-a-generation lapse of auction authority is extraordinary—and that we have the chance to unlock extraordinary benefits for consumers.

T-Mobile has built out the towers and radios needed to make use of this spectrum in many areas of the country. If we were given STAs today, we could light up many of these markets in a matter of days. That’s right—those radios are deployed and ready to be turned up.&nbsp; The only thing separating nearly 50 million Americans from enhanced capacity, a huge speed boost, and world-class 5G is the FCC issuing STAs. With the extra spectrum lit up, we’ll even have enough capacity to offer home internet to millions of families, many of whom never have had a choice in broadband providers.

T-Mobile will continue to work with Congress to reinstate the FCC’s auction authority and secure a future spectrum pipeline so that the U.S. remains a global wireless leader for years to come. And we’ll continue advocating for the FCC to use its licensing power to grant us what we won in the last auction. But while we wait for Congress to act, let’s use every tool we have to make the world’s best 5G even better. Our network is ready—let’s get to work.

T-Mobile has long been a participant in the FCC’s spectrum auctions, which the Commission has used for 30 years to rapidly assign licenses. These auctions

More 5G for More Americans - T-Mobile Newsroom

BELLEVUE, Wash. — April 3, 2023

What’s the news: T-Mobile is teaming up with Prisms of Reality (Prisms VR) to easily connect virtual reality (VR) headsets to the Un-carrier's leading 5G network, enabling students and teachers across the country with interactive math and science lessons designed to close the opportunity gap in STEM.

Why it matters: In order to give students access to new technologies like VR, first they need fast connectivity in places that has historically not been available. More than <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/reports-research/reports/broadband-progress-reports/eighth-broadband-progress-report">19 million people in America</a> live with limited access to the internet, creating a barrier for students of all types to participate in new learning opportunities.

Who it’s for: Anyone looking to empower students with new learning opportunities.

T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) announced today that it is working with <a href="https://www.prismsvr.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Prisms VR</a>, a learning platform pioneering a new paradigm for math education, and Lenawee Intermediary School District (LISD) to deploy Prisms VR's learning programs on Meta Quest 2 VR headsets connected to T-Mobile 5G across 11 school districts in rural Michigan. The collaboration brings new learning opportunities to thousands of students who might miss out otherwise due to poor and unreliable network connections often found in rural areas and creates opportunities for schools across the country to easily connect millions of students with the latest technologies using 5G.

Prisms VR — a <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-accelerator-2023-applications-sports-innovation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">T-Mobile Accelerator</a> graduate — enables students to build lasting proficiencies across core middle school math and science topics while solving real world problems. Since its deployment in 2022, LISD has reported improved lesson engagement and retention, with 80% of students who participated in the program saying they better understood the concepts and received higher grades.

Since Prisms VR's graduation from the T-Mobile Accelerator program in 2021, the Un-carrier has worked with the company to help rapidly scale its solutions, including $425 thousand awarded in funding for VR headsets distributed to 20 schools so far. While the program with LISD is the first that transfers and shares headsets across such a wide area, Prisms VR is already active across 28 states and regularly leverages T-Mobile 5G in schools that require the additional network capabilities offered by the <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/4g-lte-5g-networks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nation’s largest, fastest and most awarded 5G network</a>.

"Our work with Prisms VR is just another example of our goal to bring 5G innovation to everyone," said John Saw EVP, Advanced &amp; Emerging Technologies, T-Mobile. “From major cities to small town America, our 5G network is inspiring and creating opportunities for students to connect with the world around them like never before.”

Available to schools across the U.S., Prisms VR relies on a strong and reliable network connection to run its programs. While some schools can tap into strong Wi-Fi networks, many across the country are working on outdated systems that aren't always reliable, which is where T-Mobile 5G comes in.

Even schools in urban areas that have access to reliable internet can benefit from leveraging T-Mobile 5G with Prisms VR. With only so much time in the day, connecting 30 plus VR headsets to school Wi-Fi systems and making it through the necessary permissions for each device eats up valuable learning time. Using T-Mobile's 5G solution, VR headsets can be used as soon as they are turned on, eliminating the need for timely login processes.

"Our mission at Prisms VR is to make math relevant and connected to the world that students want to live in," said Anurupa Ganguly, CEO and Founder of Prisms VR. “VR powered by T-Mobile 5G allows us to democratize access to visceral experiences that empower students to build connections with current and compelling problems and abstract up to math models &amp; equations from there, rather than memorizing procedures in a sterile vacuum. With recent advances in spatial computing, we finally have the opportunity to teach STEM disciplines how they should be taught: through one’s own life experiences."
