Tangible Ways to Lower Costs

Here are actual, tangible ways first responder agencies can lower costs with Premier Wireless and T-Mobile's public safety offerings:

✅ 1. Zero Upfront Costs with Flexible Financing

Premier Wireless offers equipment financing up to 5 years. That means no massive capital expense upfront—just manageable monthly payments that fit within existing budget cycles. This helps shift costs from CapEx to OpEx, often freeing up grant eligibility or reimbursement options.

✅ 2. Bundled Packages Reduce Per-Unit Pricing

With SafeGrid and other solutions, bundled procurement (devices + connectivity + support) often lowers per-unit costs significantly vs. piecemeal purchasing. You’re getting more, but paying less per function.

✅ 3. Built-In Support Eliminates IT Overhead

Premier Wireless includes lifecycle management, remote support, and deployment assistance. Departments don’t need to hire or assign extra IT staff to manage equipment or networks, saving on personnel costs.

✅ 4. Grant Assistance and Consulting

We help agencies identify and secure federal/state funding or grant programs (like Byrne JAG, SHSP, or local tech modernization grants). This offsets cost before it even hits the budget.

✅ 5. Longer-Lasting Equipment = Fewer Replacements

Premier Wireless deploys rugged, enterprise-grade equipment that outlasts consumer tech. That means less frequent replacement cycles and lower total cost of ownership over time. Plus, our extended warranties offer added protection and peace of mind—covering accidental damage and minimizing unexpected downtime or repair costs.

Public Safety Connectivity Doesn’t Have to Break the Budget

We know what you're thinking: "We already have a carrier." That's fair. But here's the thing—T-Mobile Public Safety offers something fundamentally different. It’s not just another line on your bill. It’s a platform built for public safety, designed to deliver real performance when it matters most—and, yes, at a lower cost than many departments are currently paying.

What surprises many agencies is how often we’re able to:

• Work within their current spend
• Offer no out-of-pocket investment to get started
• Deliver better coverage and features
• Reduce long-term costs through smart financing and equipment lifecycle planning

Case in Point: Wichita PD

Take a look at how the Wichita Police Department approached their upgrade. Like many agencies, they needed better tools, better coverage, and more modern equipment—but without ballooning their budget.

Wichita PD:

• Modernized their devices across the department
• Improved real-time visibility and communication
• Did it all while keeping costs under control

What You Get

So what exactly can these cost-saving communication solutions include? Here’s a quick snapshot:

• Ruggedized smart devices
• Secure mobile hotspots and routers
• In-vehicle connectivity solutions with 5G-ready routers and GPS integration
• Rugged 5G-powered MDTs from manufacturers like Getac and Dell
• Body cams, LPRs, and surveillance tools
• Remote cameras for temporary or hard-to-reach locations
• AI-powered weapon detection systems to enhance threat response
• Redundant connectivity with T-Mobile’s T-Priority network and 5G backbone
• Field-ready mesh networks for tactical deployments

And don’t forget—T-Priority is the only 5G network slice purpose-built for First Responders, providing priority access across all T-Mobile bands, not just Band 14. This means first responders are always prioritized, even during network congestion. In the event of a major crisis, T-Priority can dynamically expand to dedicate up to the entire T-Mobile network to public safety. That’s something no other network provider offers.
