AT&T and McDonald\u2019s USA are expanding their relationship to bring ultra-fast AT&T Business Fiber to more than 750 McDonald\u2019s restaurants across the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The symmetrical high-speed connectivity of the AT&T fiber network will provide these restaurants with the ability to elevate the customer experience while opening the door for emerging technologies in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As one of the world\u2019s largest restaurant companies, McDonald\u2019s has a deep history in embracing new technologies to deliver superior customer experiences. The last 24 months have triggered a revolution in consumer habits and expectations for restaurants and food service. As the industry evolves, McDonald\u2019s plans to use the enhanced connectivity to help uncover the potential of continued advancements in technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and Edge Computing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reliable connectivity to the McDonald\u2019s Global Mobile App enables speedy delivery of services like contactless Mobile Order and Pay, which has never been more important. Expanding fiber connectivity to more restaurants will provide the infrastructure necessary to support and deploy technologies like this more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many customers bring their mobile devices to McDonald\u2019s and connect via Wi-Fi to catch up on the latest hit TV show, do their homework or connect with family on a video chat. The speed and reliability of AT&T Business Fiber will enhance these experiences for more restaurant guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AT&T Business Fiber helps businesses sell more goods, reach more audiences, work faster and smarter. Services provided over fiber can transmit more information faster than cable for conferencing, file transfers, and cloud applications with equivalent download and upload speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
