“The joint program will help us create a more collaborative and innovative campus for Seattle University students to learn,” Seattle University President Eduardo Peñalver said. “Seattle University is the place where innovation meets humanity. We are excited to collaborate with such a forward-looking, impactful company that just happens to be headquartered here in the Pacific Northwest.”
Seattle University will deploy several projects that leverage 5G such as:
Building out high-speed internet across the entire campus at a significant cost savings compared to wired solutions.
Enhanced campus safety and security services using 5G-enabled smart cameras.
5G-enabled devices and services for Seattle University leadership, faculty, staff, emergency response teams, and students.
Creation of a program that enables international students to obtain cell service without needing a bank account or credit check. This provides SIM cards or eSIMs so students can have immediate service.
“It’s always a bonus when T-Mobile gets to innovate with customers like Seattle University who are in our backyard. And this initiative builds on the strong relationship T-Mobile has enjoyed with Seattle University over the years,” said Callie Field, President, T-Mobile Business Group. “We love that students will immediately and directly benefit from T-Mobile 5G, and this is just the beginning.”
In addition to the immediate implementation of high-speed internet and devices, several initiatives are planned for the future. This includes an innovation hub and connected labs that will create a community around the learning experiences that 5G connectivity can deliver. The lab is intended to bring faculty, students, startups, community, partners, and established companies together to imagine, research, prototype, test, and showcase next generation products and services.
“We have dozens of projects in the works through this collaboration that will benefit our entire campus and the larger community over the next couple of years,” said Travis Nation, Vice Provost for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer at Seattle University. “Our students are going to be better prepared for the workforce of tomorrow because of the opportunity they will have to utilize the technologies that might have been inaccessible to them before.”
“At T-Mobile, we know that connectivity is an important factor for student success, so we’ve quickly worked hand in hand with Seattle University to upgrade the campus-wide connectivity,” said David Bezzant, Vice President, T-Mobile for Government. “We’re thrilled that students are benefiting from the improvements that are live today, and we’re already in the midst of building with Seattle University to bring them more benefits in the future.”
