AT&T will move its 5G mobile network to the Microsoft cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This strategic alliance provides a path for all of AT&T\u2019s mobile network traffic to be managed using Microsoft Azure technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The companies will start with AT&T\u2019s 5G core, the software at the heart of the 5G network that connects mobile users and IoT devices with Internet and other services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bringing existing and future network workloads to Azure for Operators will enable AT&T to increase productivity and cost efficiency while focusing on the delivery of large-scale network services that meet its customers\u2019 evolving needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andre Fuetsch, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, AT&T, said: \u201cAT&T has one of the world\u2019s most powerful global backbone networks serving hundreds of millions of subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur Network Cloud team has proved that running a network in the cloud drives speed, security, cost improvements and innovation. Microsoft\u2019s decision to acquire these assets is a testament to AT&T\u2019s leadership in network virtualization, culture of innovation and realization of a telco-grade cloud stack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe next step is making this capability accessible to operators around the world and ensuring it has the resources behind it to continue to evolve and improve. And do it securely. Microsoft\u2019s cloud expertise and global reach make them the perfect fit for this next phase.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
