T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) announced yesterday it launched a 5G network slicing beta for developers who are working to supercharge their video calling applications with the power of 5G SA. The program is designed so developers, with a customized network slice, can sign up to test video calling applications that require consistent uplink and downlink speeds along with lower latency and increased reliability.
“The wireless industry has talked about 5G network slicing for years and at T-Mobile we’ve been putting in the work to bring it to life,” said Ulf Ewaldsson, President of Technology at T-Mobile. “Thanks to our nationwide 5G SA network, T-Mobile is the only operator in the country capable of unlocking this technology so developers can immediately begin creating applications that can one day provide tangible benefits to wireless users everywhere.”
T-Mobile’s network slicing beta is available for iOS developers in Seattle and San Francisco, and is expected to expand nationwide and to Android later this year.. Any video calling app developer — whether a large corporation or small startup — can sign up for the beta by visiting the carrier’s developer platform, DevEdge.
“With the rise of the hybrid workforce and an increase in complex applications, there has never been a more critical need for 5G,” said Brian Peterson, chief technology officer and co-founder of Dialpad. “T-Mobile’s 5G opens up incredible new possibilities for bringing mobile and AI applications to the next level. It gives us the ability to test new capabilities with features like network slicing and, ultimately, supercharge Dialpad and AI adoption for customers across the country.”
