Executive summary.

“In an emergency, there’s no room for delay. With T-Priority, first responders stay connected, and we’re committed to keeping their critical operations secure, reliable, and built for the future.”

First responders need more than just connectivity. They need a network that delivers security, reliability, and speed when it matters most. That’s why we built T-Priority, America’s best 5G network experience for first responders and critical infrastructure organizations. T-Priority combines network slicing, priority access, and advanced cybersecurity protections to provide the reliable connectivity emergency teams need, even in the most demanding conditions.

How T-Priority enhances security and speed.

T-Priority is built on our modern 5G Standalone (SA) core to deliver ultrafast connectivity and advanced security measures that protect sensitive data. Secure network slicing helps ensure public safety traffic remains isolated, shielding it from unauthorized access and interference.

With features like end-to-end encryption, secure network slicing, and real-time threat detection, T-Priority helps keep critical communications safe so first responders can focus on saving lives.

T-Priority goes further.

During crises, today’s first responders need more than just prioritized voice calls—which is why T-Priority goes further. Unlike traditional networks, our 5G SA network supports network slicing. This enables us to create dedicated, customized network partitions for specific use cases such as emergency response.

Next-level network security.

With robust authentication and authorization, secure external communication with 5G SA, and real-time threat detection, T-Priority helps mitigate cyber risks before they impact emergency response.

Secure 5G SIM provisioning, Fast Identity Online 2 (FIDO2)-based authentication, and secure access controls further strengthen defenses, helping to prevent unauthorized access and ensure only verified users and devices connect to the network.

Comprehensive support.

Mission Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT), T-Satellite with Starlink, and our Emergency Response Team are all part of the comprehensive support we provide first responders and critical service teams. 

We’re also committed to enhancing public safety by supporting and integrating with Next Generation 9–1–1 (NG911) services. This advanced system integrates hardware, software, data, and operational policies and procedures to modernize and streamline the way emergency calls are handled.

T-Priority: Built for the future of public safety.

Whether it’s private 5G networks tailored to your operations, fixed wireless solutions for flexible connectivity, or satellite coverage that extends beyond traditional reach, we provide the secure, next-generation solutions that keep your organization online and protected.

With T-Mobile, you’re not just choosing a network—you’re choosing a partner dedicated to empowering your mission with security and innovation.
