Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) is partnering with T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS) and its parent Deutsche Telekom (OTCQX:DTEGY) in order to deliver customizable private 5G to business customers.
T-Mobile (TMUS) becomes the first U.S. wireless provider to work with Amazon Web Services to offer 5G connectivity (paired with AWS computing) to T-Mobile's 5G Advanced Network Solutions portfolio.

And they'll collaborate on use case-specific offerings as part of a new Integrated Private Wireless on AWS program.
That allows for customizable edge compute offerings, such as "monitoring worker safety on remote industrial campuses, performing predictive maintenance on manufacturing equipment, or ensuring faster aircraft turnaround times at the airport."
Such private wireless networks can serve as a replacement for big Wi-Fi deployments at factories, warehouses, offices and other work facilities.
AWS is teaming with other providers around the world on similar approaches, including Deutsche Telekom as well as Japan's KDDI (OTCPK:KDDIY), France's Orange (ORAN) and Spain's TelefÃ³nica (TEF).
