T‑Mobile and CNN have announced a partnership that will let CNN reporters stream live video, audio, and data from virtually any location using T‑Mobile’s SuperMobile business plan. The deal positions SuperMobile as a turnkey solution for high‑profile media clients and gives CNN a reliable, satellite‑backed connectivity option for breaking news coverage.
SuperMobile, launched on August 28 2025, bundles intelligent performance, built‑in security, and satellite‑to‑cell coverage. The plan is built on T‑Mobile’s nationwide 5G Advanced network, which the carrier rolled out across the United States in April 2025, and the T‑Satellite service that went public on July 23 2025. Together, these technologies provide the bandwidth and coverage needed for high‑definition live streaming in remote or congested areas.
The partnership is a key milestone in T‑Mobile’s enterprise strategy. The company has been targeting a 100 % increase in its enterprise market share by 2025, and the CNN deal serves as a high‑visibility validation of SuperMobile’s value proposition. By securing a marquee media client, T‑Mobile can demonstrate the plan’s reliability to other businesses, potentially accelerating adoption and driving higher‑margin, multi‑year contracts.
Management emphasized the strategic fit. Mo Katibeh, Chief Marketing Officer for T‑Mobile for Business, said the collaboration “makes real‑time, mobile‑first journalism possible” and highlights the company’s ability to keep teams connected, secure, and productive. CNN’s Guy Griggs noted that the partnership “enables SuperMobile to power CNN’s live coverage of breaking news and major cultural moments, enhancing the experience for our users.”
Financially, T‑Mobile reported total revenues of $80.1 billion in 2024 and $78.55 billion in 2023, with Q2 2025 revenue at $21.1 billion, a 6.9 % year‑over‑year increase. The enterprise segment—comprising branded postpaid, branded prepaid, product and equipment, and wholesale service—contributed $52.34 billion, $10.40 billion, $14.26 billion, and $3.44 billion respectively in fiscal 2024. The CNN partnership is expected to add incremental revenue and improve the mix toward higher‑margin, long‑term contracts, supporting T‑Mobile’s goal of expanding its enterprise footprint and monetizing its advanced network capabilities.
