In Hollywood, deals don’t wait for signal bars. The ability to stay connected — whether closing contracts quickly, reviewing cuts on the road or coordinating teams across time zones — has become indispensable to the business of entertainment. That demand is driving more executives to T-Mobile, now recognized as the Best Mobile Network in America.
Independent network performance testing firms (Ookla and OpenSignal) confirm that T-Mobile delivers the fastest median download speeds, the most consistent 5G performance and the broadest nationwide coverage, winning the Speedtest Awards two years in a row. With Ultra Capacity 5G reaching farther and serving more people than any other provider, T-Mobile has emerged as the top cellular network for powering high-bandwidth essentials such as streaming dailies, live editing sessions, and video conferences (even those that span multiple continents).

T-Mobile is also redefining what “coverage” really means. With the launch of T-Satellite, powered by Starlink, T-Mobile has become the only U.S. carrier offering an integrated land-and-satellite network. Gone are the days of bulky satellite devices — the service requires no additional apps or equipment and works seamlessly with more than 60 Android and iOS devices released in the past four years. The result is reliable connectivity in locations that were previously unreachable.
And this is only the beginning. Starting October 1, T-Satellite will expand further, offering low-speed access to essential apps such as maps and weather, enabling picture and voice messaging, and delivering Wireless Emergency Alerts. Together, these enhancements underscore T-Mobile’s commitment to building a network that not only keeps pace with Hollywood’s demands but also anticipates the next level of connectivity needed in an industry where every second counts.
For an industry driven by immediacy and flexibility, these developments represent more than convenience — they offer reliability and peace of mind. With T-Mobile, productions in remote settings, executives traveling to international festivals, and crews working off the grid stay connected with the best network in America — because it just works.
