T-Mobile and Lumen Technologies today said they’re targeting enterprise and government organizations with their joint 5G and edge computing services.
Lumen and T-Mobile struck a partnership in April to leverage T-Mobile’s 5G network with Lumen’s business-grade fiber and edge computing capabilities.
The partnership gives T-Mobile access to Lumen’s on-net-fiber enterprise customers. And garnering enterprise customers is a new thrust for T-Mobile, which has mainly focused on consumer wireless to date.
