T-Mobile's SuperMobile keeps FOX Weather reporters connected with intelligent connectivity, satellite-to-cell coverage and enhanced security —  so communities never miss a critical update

BELLEVUE, Wash. and NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS), America's Best Mobile Network, and FOX Weather, FOX News Media's free ad-supported streaming television service, announced T-Mobile as the preferred communications provider, equipping all FOX Weather reporters with SuperMobile — the first and only business plan to combine intelligent performance, built-in security and seamless satellite coverage. With SuperMobile, FOX Weather reporters will be equipped to deliver uninterrupted reporting from virtually anywhere in the nation, regardless of the conditions. 

When severe weather strikes — from hurricanes and tornadoes to fast-moving winter fronts — communities rely on FOX Weather for timely, accurate information. Now, with SuperMobile, FOX Weather teams will have enhanced communication that helps keep them connected in cities, suburbs and the most remote disaster zones. Reporters can livestream from the heart of the storm, share radar imagery in real time, and send critical updates to producers and audiences — even during times of high network demand.

Here's what FOX Weather had to say about SuperMobile :

"We are thrilled to work with T-Mobile as our preferred communications provider," said Sharri Berg, President of FOX Weather, "With our expansive reporter footprint across the country, this collaboration will ensure our communications network can keep up with our breaking news coverage regardless of the situation on the ground."

The Future of Live Reporting Runs on SuperMobile

With SuperMobile, FOX Weather gains three powerful capabilities designed to keep crews connected and secure from virtually anywhere:

• Intelligent connectivity on America's Best Mobile Network. The SuperMobile network slice technology dynamically allocates network resources to support FOX Weather's most critical needs — from high-quality livestreams to large video files and real-time updates. By helping prevent buffering, dropped feeds, and slow uploads, SuperMobile gives teams a more consistent experience whether they're streaming from the aftermath of a storm or sending high-resolution radar imagery from the field – even in times of high demand.

• Built-in security designed for journalists. Leveraging T-Mobile's 5G standalone architecture, the plan provides enhanced encryption, advanced device authentication and strong privacy protections.

• Access to the nation's largest satellite-to-mobile network with T-Satellite. With more than 650 satellites in orbit, FOX Weather crews stay online even in the more than 500,000 square miles of the country unreached by any carrier's earth-bound cell towers. And as of Oct. 1, T-Satellite now includes data – helping FOX Weather reporters access apps like maps for navigation and share video and picture messages to stay connected on the latest weather conditions —in remote places that terrestrial cellular networks cannot reach.

"The FOX Weather team goes where conditions are most unpredictable — from sudden summer storms and winter fronts to wildfires and tornadoes in rural communities," said Mo Katibeh, Chief Marketing Officer, T-Mobile Business Group. "That's why we built SuperMobile: to give reporters intelligent performance, secure connectivity and off-grid coverage with T-Satellite, so FOX Weather can keep delivering the updates communities count on — powered by America's Best Mobile Network."

Together, FOX Weather and T-Mobile are ushering in a new era of live reporting — keeping reporters connected, ensuring audiences never miss a critical update, and delivering vital information when it matters most, bringing nimble, dynamic coverage to places it's never been possible before.

Iridium to join forces with T-Mobile for live-site activations throughout the United States  

MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 21, 2025 /CNW/ -- Iridium Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: IRDM), a leading provider of global voice, data, and PNT satellite services, today announced it has been selected by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for an award through its Complementary Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (CPNT) Action Plan Rapid Phase Award II to support a broad network deployment of Iridium^® PNT services. Iridium is working with T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) to launch live-site activations across the United States, which delivers state-of-the-art, 5G network complementary timing synchronization that further strengthens their network resilience and helps to ensure customers enjoy the most reliable experience possible.

As the U.S. government's civil lead for PNT, the U.S. Department of Transportation CPNT Action Plan is designed to evaluate mature and commercially available CPNT technologies in order to strengthen PNT resilience and enhance the safety of critical infrastructure, like 5G networks. Through this contract, T-Mobile will expand its installation of Iridium PNT receivers to 90 additional live 5G network sites in geographically diverse locations. Iridium PNT will help protect against GPS disruptions that cause downtime and compromise the data integrity and performance of 5G networks, which rely on coordinated, precise timing to deliver the necessary speed, capacity, and reliability of service to end-users.

"It is essential for the U.S. to strengthen the resilience of our 5G wireless networks and other critical infrastructure that relies on PNT," said Dr. Michael O'Connor, executive vice president, PNT, Iridium. "Our partnership with an industry-leading company like T-Mobile underscores the proven performance of our solution and reinforces why it's the gold standard for PNT services like timing synchronization."

T-Mobile will also perform nominal and adverse user equipment exercises at its testing range. The indoor location, which includes the necessary wireless infrastructure, provides an ideal setting for DOT, Iridium, and T-Mobile to observe and record results.

Capable of sub-100-nanosecond accuracy--better than a millionth of a second--and secured using cryptographic techniques, Iridium PNT signals are 1,000 times stronger than GNSS systems like GPS and work inside buildings with no need for an outdoor antenna. The service is delivered by Iridium's low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation, which provides truly global weather-resilient L-band connectivity.
