T-Mobile is once again courting business customers with the launch of two new offerings — Edge Control and T-Platform.
Edge Control is like a private network, minus the hassle

Edge Control is a network solution for time-sensitive and high-security use cases, the kind of workloads where even a split-second delay can matter. Built on top of T-Mobile's 5G Advanced network, it harnesses local breakout and the principle of edge computing to process data closer to where it originates instead of letting it travel across the country, as normal internet traffic does.
This not only helps minimize delays but also curtails security risks. This is essential for businesses that require mission-critical connectivity. For instance, hospitals can't afford the reliability issues and security concerns that are inherent to Wi-Fi.
Some applications that can benefit from low latency include video streaming, surveillance, data uploads, AI solutions, and real-time equipment and inventory monitoring.
One alternative to traditional connectivity solutions is a private wireless network, but that can be costly to set up and maintain. That's where Edge Control comes in. It facilitates smooth routing of data between the intended destinations, ensuring low latency, greater control over data location, and effortless scalability.
Edge Control also doesn't require new infrastructure, and businesses can configure it based on their operational and compliance needs.
T-Platform is a centralized control panel for the 5G ecosystem

Managing different devices and connection types can be an arduous task for enterprises, which is why T-Mobile has launched T-Platform. It's a portal that provides better visibility and control over the 5G ecosystem and offers real-time insights to optimize the connectivity strategy.
This centralized hub acts as a control panel for keeping on top of everything from 5G internet to IoT deployments. The resulting simpler access to information, devices, and diagnostics allows for faster decision-making, streamlined operations, and simplified scalability.

T-Mobile's unique market position
Despite proclaiming that it has the best network, growth is stagnating. T-Mobile is looking to new avenues for maintaining performance trajectory. Providing specialized solutions to business customers is one way to do that.
It's the only company to have deployed 5G Advanced, without which Edge Control isn't possible, putting it ahead of rivals AT&T and Verizon, who have only now started rolling out 5G SA. In late August, the company announced SuperMobile, a plan tailored to business customers.
