T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS), in partnership with Deutsche Telekom AG and its tech incubator hubraum, today unveiled the top five U.S. finalists in the first-ever Telecommunications Network API Challenge. The competition called on developers to use cutting-edge 5G standalone (SA) network APIs to create innovative solutions for businesses and consumers, showcasing the transformative potential of advanced network technologies.
The challenge focused on real-world use cases that leverage 5G SA’s advanced capabilities — such as ultra-low latency and enhanced reliability — via the Quality on Demand (QoD) API from T-Mobile’s DevEdge developer platform. Finalists demonstrated groundbreaking applications spanning healthcare, transportation, industrial safety, and entertainment.
Earlier this year, T-Mobile and Deutsche Telekom launched a competition for developers to create exciting new business opportunities and solutions for customers that leveraged telecommunications network Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Developers utilized the Quality on Demand (QoD) network API from T-Mobile DevEdge to significantly improve the performance of solutions such as video streaming in race cars and mobile healthcare services.
Top U.S. Finalists and Their Innovations:
“5G standalone technology is unlocking unprecedented opportunities for innovation,” said Daniel Thygesen, Senior Vice President of Products, Partnerships and Growth, Wholesale, T-Mobile. “Through APIs like Quality on Demand, developers like these are showing how to harness the full potential of 5G to solve critical challenges in healthcare, public safety, industrial operations and more. By providing seamless, reliable connectivity, T-Mobile’s network is enabling solutions that simply were not possible before.”
