AT&T Business Solutions Delivers on Network Investments in First Quarter 2009
Portfolio Enhancements Provide Strong Platform for Service Customers in '09
AT&T Business Solutions added new services and features to its core portfolio during the first quarter 2009 highlighted by the expansion of the AT&T Telepresence Solution and the introduction of a wireless capability to bring smart grid technology to the residential utility market.
These enhancements and others were among the projects earmarked for the approximately $1 billion investment scheduled for 2009 in the AT&T global network along with new services and network-based applications.
AT&T Business Solutions ended the first quarter 2009 by announcing an enhancement to the industry-leading AT&T Telepresence Solution that will allow companies to connect the solution with their existing H.323 compatible legacy videoconferencing systems, offering a cost-effective solution to utilize historically under-utilized systems. As a result, companies that have made prior investments in video-conferencing technology will now be able to extend the life of their legacy systems. AT&T Business Solutions further announced plans to double the number of Cisco TelePresence™ rooms deployed at its locations throughout the U.S. and globally.
Also during the quarter, AT&T Business Solutions teamed up with smart grid solutions provider SmartSynch to launch a new suite of service plans for electric utility companies looking to provide the benefits of smart grid technology to the residential sector. The new solution offers utilities a cost-effective, IP-based, point-to-point configuration model in which 'smart meters' communicate directly with the utility over a wireless network. Following that rollout, Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) announced it had selected the SmartSynch/AT&T SmartMeter™ solution for a 10,000 unit point-to-point trial deployment to residential customers throughout the utility's Texas market.
In addition, the approximately $1 billion global network investment in 2009 propelled the launch of a one-stop solution for managing and monitoring IT infrastructures remotely regardless of the customer's location. The solution, called AT&T Remote Infrastructure Management, delivers the full range of the business unit's IT infrastructure services to a company's location — whether it is an in-house company data center, remote office, or even third-party center — along with on-site servicing of equipment if needed. Among the first quarter international projects funded by the 2009 global network investment was the provisioning of AT&T Global Managed Internet Service in India. The service will help meet the growing demand from multinational customers in India for globally consistent Internet access applications.
