What’s the news: T-Mobile has deployed its super-fast
Ultra Capacity 5G in and around the Miami VA Healthcare System —
another milestone in its long-standing partnership with the VA to
expand healthcare access to Veterans.

speeds, medical teams can improve critical telehealth services and

VA.
T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced it has deployed Ultra
Capacity 5G at the Miami Veterans Affairs (VA) Healthcare System,
bringing incredible 5G speed and performance to medical staff and

in-building 4G LTE wireless connectivity across more than 50 VA
Healthcare Systems with more to come this year. Today, thanks to a

In-building 5G radios provide T-Mobile’s Ultra Capacity 5G
coverage in the hospital that can deliver speeds of 300 Mbps (7.5x
faster than LTE today) with peaks up to 1 Gbps. And, faster speeds
are important when every second counts. Medical teams will be able
to quickly access high bandwidth files such as imaging results,
labs and medical charts without having to be tethered to a
computer. And, this is just the beginning! In the future, 5G will
unlock new capabilities that could take healthcare to the next
level.
“We set out to do good with our 5G network and right now
healthcare is more important than ever. T-Mobile’s Ultra Capacity
5G brings healthcare providers the fastest 5G network of any
provider enabling them to deliver high quality medical care,” said
Mike Katz, EVP, T-Mobile for Business. “We are proud to be a
long-standing partner of the VA and now the medical teams at the
Miami VA Healthcare System can tap into 5G. This is an exciting
step towards the future of healthcare made possible by the T-Mobile
network.”
T-Mobile works with hundreds of top hospitals and health systems
in the U.S., including the VA, to put wireless connectivity in the
hands of both medical providers and patients. The Un-carrier
collaborated with the VA to provide up to 70,000 lines of wireless
service to doctors, nurses and hospital staff across their
hospitals and also worked with the VA Secretary's Center for
Strategic Partnerships (SCSP) to help enhance access to the VA's
telehealth platform, VA Video Connect, to make healthcare more
accessible to millions of veterans — providing free unlimited
access to online telehealth services. T-Mobile continues to connect
a significant number of VA telehealth visits which surged during
the pandemic. More than one in four veterans received a portion of
their care in the VA via telehealth — that’s a 79% increase in
veterans served from the previous year.
“Groundbreaking collaborative partnerships like this play an
important role in our success moving forward and we are grateful to
T-Mobile for their continued commitment to the partnership with
VA,” said Deborah Scher, Executive Advisor to the VA Secretary and
leads the VA’s SCSP.
“T-Mobile has a strategic vision aligned with the VA to deliver
the best technology giving veterans every advantage in quality
care, both on-site and through telehealth appointments,” said David
Bezzant, Vice President T-Mobile for Government. “Our partnership
with the VA has allowed us to work together to build customized
solutions enabling the VA to bring more healthcare services to
veterans.”
T-Mobile for Business brings healthcare and enterprise customers
5G that’s better for business. With America’s largest and fastest
nationwide 5G network, the Un-carrier brings fast 5G speed to more
people and places than any other wireless provider. Extended Range
5G goes beyond cities and extends to rural areas covering 280
million people over 1.6 million square miles. T-Mobile’s unmatched
Ultra Capacity 5G can deliver speeds of 300 Mbps and peak speeds up
to 1 Gbps giving rise to the convergence of mobility for companies
to work more efficiently, drive additional productivity, solve
business challenges and ultimately bring best in class advancements
