“ Part of our strategy involved making our network as sustainable as possible ,” he says , “ and that ’ s where we look at how we ’ re powering that network , the equipment and exploring the efficiency that ’ s designed into it .”.
The connectivity T-Mobile provides its customers is critical and it ’ s striving to provide service wherever customers are . Of course , this goal comes with an environmental footprint , around which the company is taking decisive action .
“ We are making progress here ,” Wilkerson says . “ For example , we were the first in the US wireless industry to set and achieve a 100 % renewable energy goal , even as our merger with Sprint greatly expanded our electricity needs .”
As Wilkerson stresses , customers rely on T-Mobile to deliver high-speed , reliable wireless connection 24 / 7 . This need , he says , is even more acute should disaster strike .
This is why , he says , T-Mobile has 24 / 7 national engineering response and crisis
management teams , a comprehensive telecoms infrastructure and employee volunteers to ensure network reliability .
“ First responders , local authorities and impacted communities rely on communication networks to support rescue , recovery and relief efforts ,” says Wilkerson . “ With extreme weather events becoming more intense and frequent , advanced preparation for potential disruptions and significant network traffic is critical for our business and our customers . Emergency preparedness and network resiliency are among our most urgent priorities .”
