 AT&T Rolls out Digital Content Delivery System
Enterprise multimedia is moving out of the do-it-yourself phase as carriers offer services over their own infrastructure to entities that want to reach their employees, partners and customers with the latest forms of media.
Both AT&T and Verizon Business already offer the high-end form of videoconferencing known as telepresence as managed services, making it easier for business customers to get started and ensuring network connections that support the virtual meetings. On Tuesday, AT&T introduced an array of new services that include formatting, packaging and distribution of a wide range of media. They are designed for large multinational organizations as well as any enterprise with multiple offices.
The carrier will also roll out new network infrastructure to the tune of nearly US$70 million by year's end to support the two new services in the U.S., Europe and Asia, while signing on software partners to simplify the formatting of content, AT&T said Tuesday. The buildout will reach the U.S., European Union countries, Japan, China and Taiwan.  |
