Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today 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.
