Overview
Deutsche Telekom’s T Wholesale portfolio covers content delivery, web/API performance and security, plus media delivery and online broadcasting. The suite is marketed globally rather than solely for European audiences.
Select the required services in the proposal. Telecom backbone connectivity, web acceleration, custom edge logic and application protection have different roles and are not automatically included in every delivery contract.
Network
T Wholesale describes global content-delivery, web/API performance and media services. Ask the service team for the delivery locations available with your proposal.
Telecom backbone reach and delivery-service coverage are different measures; test the actual audience routes.

The suite includes separate options for:

Confirm the chosen runtime, media workflow, policy support and export latency. Include required DRM, packaging interfaces, protocols and log-export timing in the service request.
Pricing
Current unit rates are unconfirmed. Obtain a proposal covering delivery, requests, security, media and optional services.
Ask about commitments, trials and included usage when choosing the contract.
Developer tools
T Wholesale describes custom edge logic, real-user performance monitoring and global-platform log data arriving within minutes. Product-specific interfaces and commercial access need to be confirmed during onboarding.
The former generic developer URL is unavailable. Current configuration APIs and an official Terraform package are unconfirmed for this suite; automation may still be available. Ask for the selected product’s API, authentication, limits and export destination before building integrations.
When it fits
- Organizations selecting delivery, media, performance or security services through T Wholesale.
- Broadcasters that need live-event or continuous-channel delivery and may require dedicated capacity.
- Teams coordinating service scope and support with a supplier rather than relying on one universal delivery plan.
