T-Mobile has announced the launch of its latest innovation, 5G On Demand—a portable 5G private network solution designed to be deployed in under 48 hours. This solution offers low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity, ideal for data-heavy applications, and can be set up virtually anywhere.

T-Mobile’s Comprehensive 5G On-Demand Private Network Solution


The 5G On Demand solution includes all necessary services such as setup, teardown, and network management, streamlining the process of deploying a 5G private network. This new offering provides a flexible and cost-effective way for businesses to establish 5G private networks and support demanding applications.

By the end of 2024, 5G On Demand will be commercially available for industries like media, entertainment, oil and gas, construction, and more, offering a reliable network solution that meets the dynamic needs of these sectors.

Private 5G On Demand Shines at Major Events: PGA and NBC Sports Case Studies

Although newly launched, 5G On Demand has already proven its capabilities in major events. It was used at both the PGA Championship with CBS Sports and the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship with NBC Sports to enhance operations, improve fan experiences, and bring viewers closer to the action. With the help of Sony’s PDT-FP1 portable data transmitters and ultra-low latency encoders/decoders, Sony’s FX6 cameras achieved a glass-to-glass latency of less than 100 milliseconds, allowing for near-instant transmission of broadcast-quality video.

How Private 5G On Demand Overcomes Remote Production Challenges

Achieving fiber-like transmission speeds for 4K video broadcasting without the use of cumbersome cables is a significant challenge, particularly when managing multiple 4K cameras at 60 FPS simultaneously. Traditional cellular networks face obstacles such as limited bandwidth and environmental interferences, while setting up and maintaining infrastructure can drive up costs and complexity.

T-Mobile’s 5G On Demand tackles these challenges by offering:

  • Cost reduction through decreased reliance on fiber, while still maintaining high bandwidth and low latency.
  • A more affordable alternative to permanent custom-built private networks, which are often expensive to deploy and maintain.
  • Support for remote production, reducing the need for expensive on-site personnel and equipment.
  • Enhanced operational efficiency, simplifying the capture, transmission, and production of media.
  • Rapid deployment and flexibility, allowing for seamless remote production on T-Mobile’s vast and fast 5G network.

A New Era of Private 5G Deployment: T-Mobile’s 5G On Demand Approach

“With 5G On Demand, T-Mobile is reshaping how businesses and organizations implement private 5G networks by focusing on cost-efficiency and simplicity,” said Mishka Dehghan, SVP of Strategy, Product, and Solutions Engineering for T-Mobile Business Group. “We’re making it easier than ever for businesses to deploy powerful networks, so they can focus on what they do best—delivering exceptional content and services without the complexity of traditional infrastructure.”

T-Mobile’s 5G On Demand is poised to offer an affordable, flexible, and fast solution for industries needing reliable connectivity, without the burdens of permanent infrastructure.

Deutsche Telekom will roll out a free 5G+ Gaming option for eligible Magenta Mobil customers starting autumn 2025, integrating GeForce NOW for on-the-go cloud gaming with consistent responsiveness and stability. The service runs over Telekom’s 5G Standalone (SA) network using network slicing and L4S, with initial device support including Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra and the S25 series, and more handsets to follow. GeForce NOW brings access to a catalog of 2,300+ supported titles spanning major game stores, with additional install-to-play titles being added, and day passes available (Performance and Ultimate tiers) for short-term access.
SoftBank will invest $2 billion in Intel, taking roughly a 2% stake at $23 per share and becoming one of Intels largest shareholders. It is a financial vote of confidence in a company trying to reestablish process leadership, scale a foundry business, and convince marquee customers to commit to external wafer orders. SoftBank has been assembling an AI supply-chain franchise that spans IP, compute, and infrastructure. It owns Arm, agreed to acquire Arm server CPU designer Ampere Computing, injected massive capital into OpenAI, and aligned with Oracle under the Stargate hyperscale AI initiative backed by the current U.S. administration.
Virgin Media O2 is partnering with neutral host provider Freshwave to strengthen mobile coverage across 22 Haven holiday parks, aligning seasonal demand with targeted network investment. The project is part of O2s Mobile Transformation Plan, a multi-year program focused on improving capacity and coverage where traffic spikes. The upgrades span popular UK staycation destinations, including coastal and rural parks where coverage can be patchy and demand is highly seasonal. Four parks are live now, with the remaining sites phased over the peak travel window to improve both outdoor and indoor experience for guests, staff, and nearby communities.
Vodafone Idea (Vi) and IBM are launching an AI Innovation Hub to infuse AI and automation into Vis IT and operations, aiming to boost reliability, speed delivery, and improve customer experience in Indias fast-evolving 5G market. IBM Consulting will work with Vi to co-create AI solutions, digital accelerators, and automation tooling that modernize IT service delivery and streamline business processes. The initiative illustrates how AI and automation can reshape telco IT and managed services while laying groundwork for 5G-era revenue streams. Unified DevOps across OSS/BSS enables faster rollout of plans, bundles, and digital journeys.
Automotive digitization now hinges on 5G’s ability to deliver reliable, low-latency, and scalable connectivity that 4G/LTE cannot sustain for safety-critical use cases. Advanced driver assistance, cooperative perception, and remote operations require millisecond-class response and deterministic reliability across dense traffic conditions. 5G Standalone (SA) with Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC), improved positioning, and enhanced uplink meets these thresholds, enabling vehicles and infrastructure to exchange time-sensitive data continuously. This is the foundation for C-V2X, high-fidelity telematics, and closed-loop control that 4G/LTE struggles to support consistently. 5G enables dynamic traffic orchestration, energy-aware routing for EVs, and advanced safety services that can reduce incidents and congestion.
Google will pay a US$35.8 million (A$55 million) penalty and change how it structures Android default search agreements with Australian carriers and OEMs. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) alleged that Googles contracts with Telstra and Optus from December 2019 to March 2021 blocked rival search engines on carrier-sold Android devices via platform-wide default settings and revenue-sharing incentives. Google admitted the conduct likely lessened competition and agreed to court-enforceable undertakings to remove restrictions that mandated Google Search as the exclusive, out-of-the-box option across search access points (browser defaults, widgets, and in-phone settings).
