AT&T has chosen Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, and Juniper Networks as its domain suppliers for IP/MPLS/Ethernet/Evolved Packet Core equipment needed for its IP-based network.
The multi-year selection covers equipment used to route and forward IP packet traffic (voice, video, and data) through AT&T’s network.
Financial terms of the agreements with the suppliers were not disclosed.
The AT&T network carries 18.7 petabytes of IP and data traffic on an average business day, the equivalent of transporting the entire digitized Library of Congress more than 250 times.
