AT&T names Ericsson as key supplier for future Wireline Business
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) announced it has been selected as one of two suppliers for AT&T's Wireline Access products and services. The deal is a breakthrough win for Ericsson's wireline business in North America. Ericsson will be eligible to provide full system solutions within AT&T's wireline access network, significantly accelerating AT&T's ability to bring new broadband-based products and services to market.
AT&T's strategy is to shorten technology introduction cycles, increase supplier collaboration and focus spending on future technologies.
Ericsson will offer AT&T full end-to-end system solutions, allowing AT&T to significantly accelerate time-to-market for new products and services. Additionally, by closely collaborating with AT&T, Ericsson will be able to tightly focus its research and development, strengthen relationships with third-parties, streamline relevant business practices and ensure wireline access product integration to provide AT&T with the best and most innovative solutions available.
"Ericsson is honored to be entrusted by AT&T with this critical role," said Angel Ruiz, President of Ericsson North America. "AT&T is a global leader in fixed broadband deployments and helps set the standard that others within the industry look to. We look forward to providing AT&T and its customers with the best technologies and solutions our industry has to offer."
Wireline Access Suppliers will compete with each other for AT&T capital spending on all Wireline Access applications and products, including collaborating with third-party suppliers to provide technologically leading solutions to AT&T.
Having already approved Ericsson's GPON Fiber to the Home (FTTH) solution for general deployment, AT&T will now embark on integrating Ericsson's DSL portfolio for Fiber to the Node (FTTN) and IP DSLAM solutions to support AT&T's U-verse offerings, such as IPTV, High Speed Internet and VoIP over an all IP network infrastructure.
