T-Mobile Launches ‘SuperBroadband’ for Businesses With 5G and Starlink Backup

The goal is higher uptime for multi-site enterprises in rural areas.

Overview

  • T-Mobile introduced SuperBroadband, a managed business internet service that pairs its 5G network with Starlink as a backup path.
  • The service targets companies with many locations and those in remote areas, switching to satellite if 5G or primary links fail to keep stores, clinics, and sensors online.
  • T-Mobile says the offering reaches every U.S. ZIP code and includes a 99.99% uptime guarantee that is financially backed.
  • Pricing remains unclear, as Reuters reports T-Mobile did not disclose rates, while GeekWire cites plans starting at $250 per month on a three-year term that include equipment and installation.
  • The setup uses outdoor 5G gear and Cradlepoint routers, with installs handled by Acuative and plans to add Inseego hardware, extending a 2022 Starlink partnership as T-Mobile courts enterprise customers against AT&T’s fiber strategy and Verizon’s business 5G options.
