Current Architecture - Multiple hops, typical latency
"Networks should accelerate ambition, not hold it back," said Mo Katibeh, Chief Marketing Officer, T-Mobile Business Group. "With Edge Control and T-Platform, we're giving businesses tools to work faster, safer and smarter — while making network management as simple as it should be. This is what the future of connectivity looks like and it's here today."
Edge Control: 5G Advanced + Local Breakout = Private Network–Like Performance Minus the Overhead
From hospitals and factories to supply chain operations and smart cities, businesses need connectivity built for high-performance, data-driven use cases. In healthcare, for example, AI is reshaping how doctors and nurses deliver care — powering real-time patient monitoring, predictive analytics, faster diagnostics, and more informed clinical decisions. In 2024, 71% of hospitals reported using predictive AI integrated with Electronic Health Records, up from 66% in 2023.
As this type of technology adoption accelerates, traditional connectivity solutions like Wi-Fi can struggle to keep pace — often leading to reliability issues, patchy coverage and growing concerns around data sovereignty. The stakes are high. Imagine the reputational damage or costly remediation a healthcare provider could face if delayed real-time monitoring data jeopardizes a critical care patient, or if sensitive health records were exposed outside of their systems. And while private networks can help organizations overcome latency, security and data jurisdiction challenges, realizing these benefits at scale demands higher costs and complex orchestration across multiple sites.
With Edge Control, organizations get the benefits of a private network — minus the overhead of deploying and managing one at every location. Edge Control enables seamless data routing between endpoints, servers and compute — delivering ultra-low latency, data sovereignty and simplified scalability.
Additionally, Edge Control enables organizations to process data directly within their existing infrastructure for ultra-low latency — whether on private cloud platforms or on-premises systems like those from Dell Technologies. This flexibility allows customers to operate Edge Control in environments tailored to their unique operational, compliance and performance needs while processing data closer to where it's generated.
And because Edge Control is built on T-Mobile's 5G Advanced network, it offers an industry-first advantage — traffic is routed precisely where an organization wants it to go with fewer "hops," even if users are across the country. This means faster data delivery, avoiding the delays of traditional VPN tunnels. Even remote users and endpoints maintain low-latency performance and meet data sovereignty requirements through optimized intra-network routing. Instead of detouring traffic through multiple checkpoints, Edge Control creates a secure local "on/off ramp" that gives data a direct, efficient path.
T-Platform: Because Managing Your Network Shouldn't Be a Scavenger Hunt
To unlock the full potential of T-Mobile network investments at scale, businesses need visibility and control across their entire connected ecosystem. This is where T-Platform comes in. T-Platform is a unique 5G portfolio platform that delivers seamless access and centralized control of all T-Mobile for Business solutions, including Edge Control, through a single unified management portal.
From 5G Business Internet to IoT deployments to detailed network performance insights, T-Platform is already empowering tens of thousands of customers by simplifying what was once a fragmented set of tools into one powerful interface. Imagine a transportation logistics company with operations spanning thousands of vehicles, sensors and connected devices across hundreds of locations. Instead of juggling multiple systems to track usage, monitor performance and manage resources, the entire network now lives in one place. Every service, every device, every location — fully visible and under control. The result: real-time decision-making, streamlined operations, and scalability without complexity.
With these new Advanced Network Solutions, T-Mobile continues to transform 5G from promise into practice — setting a new standard for business connectivity and proving once again why it leads the 5G era.
