T-Mobile and Cisco Unite Best-In-Class 5G and Meraki Products to Launch Connected Workplace

By Business Wire On Jan 25, 2024

Medium-sized business owners and their IT teams can breathe a collective sigh of relief. Today, T-Mobile introduced Connected Workplace, a solution that packages nationwide 5G business internet with Cisco Meraki devices and cloud-managed networking platform, all managed by T-Mobile. Connected Workplace offers simple and competitive pricing. And, unlike the other carriers and Big Internet providers, T-Mobile includes installation, software licensing and 5G gateway and Wi-Fi access point device upgrades every three years at no additional cost.

“With Connected Workplace, we’ve brought together Cisco best-in-class Meraki network technologies with our award-winning 5G network to make it easier for businesses to streamline their network infrastructure, ease the burden on IT and improve operations.”

For too long, small IT teams have faced the daunting task of putting together all the pieces for a complete connectivity stack that connects everything from point-of-sale systems to video surveillance, IoT applications and more. They have to assemble regional internet service providers, mismatched hardware and management software from various suppliers just to create a functional network infrastructure. And to make things even more complicated, all these moving parts have their own contracts, varied rate plans and support models. This complexity doesn’t just cause headaches — it’s a needless drain on IT and often results in limited scalability and compromised security. No one wants that.
