AT&T, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Amazon Leo announced work to modernize the nation’s connectivity infrastructure. Building on a long-standing relationship, the companies will combine AT&T’s expansive fiber network with the security, reliability, performance and AI capabilities of AWS to create a more resilient, adaptive, and future-ready connectivity solution.
AT&T will migrate workloads from several of its current on-premises technologies to AWS’s on-premises, managed hybrid cloud offering to improve the speed of its operation. AT&T, with the assistance of AWS Professional Services, is using Amazon Q Developer and other Amazon Services to accelerate the migration of network service enablement. As a result, AT&T expects to improve its resilience posture due to improved infrastructure management and faster modernization of business support systems.
To further strengthen AWS’s robust cloud infrastructure for all customers, AT&T will connect AWS data center locations with high-capacity fiber. This will enable AWS to continue to deliver and scale its secure, reliable, and high-performance cloud services for customers building and deploying advanced AI applications at scale.
AT&T will also collaborate with Amazon Leo, Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite network that operates as a separate Amazon business. Amazon Leo will provide internet connectivity services to AT&T, enabling AT&T to broaden its connectivity capabilities and deliver fixed broadband services to business customers in areas where such services are needed.
