“The Spiral 4 contract award is a testament to T-Mobile’s leading 5G network and to our focus on building solutions that meet the critical needs of our government customers,” said David Bezzant, Vice President of Sales for T-Mobile Government. “With a cutting-edge product portfolio, a proven track record and a clear vision for the future, we’re ready to take government innovation to the next level. It’s an honor to serve those who serve this Nation.”
Spiral 4: A Modernized Approach to DoD Wireless
As mentioned, the Spiral 4 program builds upon the success of the previous Spiral 3 initiative. Since its inception in 2017, T-Mobile has actively expanded its offerings to meet the evolving demands of government operations.
Alongside T-Mobile, the Pentagon will also source other leading communication industry players, including AT&T, Hughes, MetTel, Real Mobile, Verizon, and Widepoint.
This collaborative approach ensures access to a wider range of expertise and technologies beyond a single provider. It also fosters healthy competition and guarantees the flexibility to adapt to future advancements throughout the Spiral 4 program’s lifespan.
