The
contract comes at a time when telecom providers are grappling
with a slow wireless market and stiff competition.
With Spiral 4, the Department of Defense's agencies will be able
to place orders for wireless services and equipment from the
company, T-Mobile said.
The contract includes voice, data, fixed wireless solutions,
Internet of Things and mobility management solutions and provide
connectivity for government activities.
The company's shares were marginally up at midday.
T-Mobile had also bagged the five-year-long Spiral 3 contract
worth $994 million in 2017 along with Verizon Communications and
AT&T .
Last month, Echostar, Verizon and Wide Point said they were
among the companies that have won a position in the $2.67
billion contract.
Government agencies can also leverage the company's partnership
with Elon Musk's SpaceX, T-Mobile said.
SpaceX launched Starlink satellite in January with
direct-to-cell technology and wireless network provided by
T-Mobile.
