T-Mobile Using Both 5G Fixed Wireless and Wholesale to Offer Home Broadband in Colorado

T-Mobile’s move into home broadband in Colorado illustrates the various platforms available to that firm, ranging from use of its own 5G network to supply fixed wireless as well as use of wholesale fixed network facilities. 


At least for the moment, T-Mobile’s foray into home broadband in Northglenn, Colo. appears to use Intrepid Fiber facilities on a wholesale basis. Intrepid is a new facilities-based internet service provider serving that community and reportedly has invested about $100 million in the new facilities. 


The firm is lead by Jack Waters, company CEO. Other offices include

  • Britt Kane, President and Chief Operating Officer

  • Shing Lin, Chief Technology Officer

  • Andy Greene, Vice President of Engineering

  • RJ Knisley, Director of Network Development

  • Tim Bruny, Chief Financial Officer

  • Robert Macaluso, General Counsel

  • Sadia Murray, Chief Marketing Officer


It is not yet clear when the firm will begin connecting customers, as the full network will take a couple years to build out. But the firm undoubtedly will begin marketing to, and connecting customers, on a rolling basis, as is typical for a newbuild network. 


In Pueblo, Colo. and Denver, on the other hand, T-Mobile appears to be using its own 5G network to supply home broadband using fixed wireless.
