What’s the news: T-Mobile is introducing Partner Plus, a new channel subsidy program that can make it more cost effective for businesses to experience the benefits of 5G laptops and 5G Business Internet.

Why it matters: The potential performance and increased security advantages of 5G are well-established, but the upfront hardware costs can be a significant barrier to entry for many businesses.

Who it’s for: Channel partners, original equipment manufacturers and the businesses they serve.

T-Mobile is helping to make it more cost effective for businesses to make the move to 5G. Today, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) announced the launch of Partner Plus, a new channel subsidy program designed to reduce the initial cost of 5G laptops and enterprise-grade 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) equipment from Cradlepoint, part of Ericsson.

T-Mobile certified 5G laptops offer performance with the convenience of always-on connectivity, powered by the largest, fastest and most consistent 5G network in America. This combination delivers blazing speeds, broader and more reliable coverage, as well as enhanced privacy and security compared to public Wi-Fi. T-Mobile 5G Business Internet provides a reliable, business-grade FWA solution you expect plus greater geographical flexibility and faster and simpler deployment. But despite the potential performance and increased security advantages of 5G, some businesses have been hesitant to invest in the technology due to the higher initial hardware costs.

"The price tag of 5G devices, particularly laptops, has been a major obstacle for businesses looking to adopt 5G solutions,” said Patrick Moorhead, Founder, CEO and Chief Analyst at Moor Insights and Strategy. “However, with the strength and leadership of T-Mobile’s 5G network, coupled with their expanding business initiatives, T-Mobile is uniquely positioned to bring the right partners together to deliver new solutions and plans that make 5G more affordable for businesses.”

To help businesses overcome these cost barriers, T-Mobile has teamed up with major global technology distributors Ingram Micro and TD SYNNEX, and leading 5G enterprise wireless WAN solution provider Cradlepoint. This collaboration enables the immediate and convenient procurement of powerful 5G capabilities, through 5G laptops and 5G FWA solutions, at attractive price points.
