T-Mobile extends collaboration with VA, will be primary wireless provider

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, or VA, selected T-Mobile as its primary wireless provider. This extends T-Mobile’s collaboration with the VA another nine years. As part of the agreement, T-Mobile will deploy an estimated 50,000 wireless lines for VA healthcare professionals – including doctors, nurses, social workers and crisis hotline staff – so they can stay connected to the millions of veterans they serve. The contract also includes T-Mobile 5G Internet for broadband at the VA’s Community-Based Outpatient Clinics, or CBOCs, which provide primary and mental health care in rural areas.
