T-Mobile, a wireless carrier in the United States, announced on Thursday that the U.S. Navy has selected it to provide communication technology under a Spiral 4, ten-year contract worth $2.67 billion.

The contract is coming at a time that telecom providers are struggling with a slowing wireless market and stiff competitors.

T-Mobile announced that the contract allows all Department of Defense agencies, including the Department of Defense Wireless Services and Equipment Ordering Program to order wireless services and equipment directly from T-Mobile.

The contract covers voice, data and fixed wireless solutions as well as Internet of Things, mobility management and solutions for connectivity.

Echostar, Verizon, and Wide Point announced last month that they had won a contract worth $2.67 billion.

T-Mobile says that government agencies can also benefit from the partnership between T-Mobile and Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

SpaceX launched Starlink in January, using direct-to-cell and wireless network provided T-Mobile. (Reporting by Priyanka.G in Bengaluru)
