Case Study: T-Mobile achieves faster 5G network expansion with Databricks

Connecting millions of customers with the largest 5G network

T-Mobile, one of the largest U.S. wireless carriers, needed to accelerate its 5G network expansion while managing growing complexity across cell tower development, procurement, and supply chain operations. Using Databricks and its lakehouse platform, T-Mobile unified more than 60 data sources to improve analytics, identify the best locations for new towers, and streamline the supply chain.

Databricks helped T-Mobile turn critical analytics like fraud detection, order tracking, and spend management into a more reliable foundation for operations. As a result, processes that previously failed 40% of the time now run flawlessly, and the company can better assess construction readiness, secure equipment on time, and reduce fraud and waste across its network materials.
