T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS), in partnership with Deutsche Telekom AG and its tech incubator hubraum, today unveiled the top five U.S. finalists in the first-ever Telecommunications Network API Challenge. The competition called on developers to use cutting-edge 5G standalone (SA) network APIs to create innovative solutions for businesses and consumers, showcasing the transformative potential of advanced network technologies.

The challenge focused on real-world use cases that leverage 5G SA’s advanced capabilities — such as ultra-low latency and enhanced reliability — via the Quality on Demand (QoD) API from T-Mobile’s DevEdge developer platform. Finalists demonstrated groundbreaking applications spanning healthcare, transportation, industrial safety, and entertainment.

Earlier this year, T-Mobile and Deutsche Telekom launched a competition for developers to create exciting new business opportunities and solutions for customers that leveraged telecommunications network Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Developers utilized the Quality on Demand (QoD) network API from T-Mobile DevEdge to significantly improve the performance of solutions such as video streaming in race cars and mobile healthcare services.

Top U.S. Finalists and Their Innovations:

• Domos: Measures application performance and allows the app and user to understand the performance improvement of the QoD API, ensuring educated decisions and uninterrupted user experiences for business-critical applications like video conferencing, even during peak demand.
• ISS (Intelligent Security Systems): Uses the QoD API to power AI-driven smart intersections, dynamically illuminating crosswalks with low-latency pedestrian tracking to enhance urban safety.
• Shabodi: Provides NetAware, a programmable network platform that gives developers access to network services to enable interactions between applications and networks for building solutions on advanced networks such as 5G that improve factory safety, productivity, and cost efficiency through faster and more reliable IoT sensor data from network-aware applications.
• Unmanned Technologies: Delivers high-quality satellite & terrestrial communications solutions across government and commercial sectors. They offer mobile healthcare information and communication technologies to remote and underserved communities including 5G-enabled service trucks, leveraging the QoD API for consistent, high-bandwidth connections.
• |pipe|: V-Stream Camera enables live, low-latency (<300ms) video streaming for high-speed vehicles like race cars, empowering real-time feedback for performance monitoring and coaching; also for the remote human supervision of autonomous public transportation vehicles like buses and robo taxis.

"5G standalone technology is unlocking unprecedented opportunities for innovation,” said Daniel Thygesen, Senior Vice President of Products, Partnerships and Growth, Wholesale, T-Mobile. "Through APIs like Quality on Demand, developers like these are showing how to harness the full potential of 5G to solve critical challenges in healthcare, public safety, industrial operations and more. By providing seamless, reliable connectivity, T-Mobile’s network is enabling solutions that simply were not possible before.”
