Addressing the need to increase its productivity and cost efficiency in delivering large-scale network services to customers in an ever more competitive arena, particularly next-generation services, AT&T has entered into a strategic alliance with Microsoft.
The partnership has been created to provide a path for all of the operator’s mobile network traffic to be managed using Azure technologies. The companies will start with AT&T’s 5G core, the software at the heart of the 5G network that connects mobile users and devices with the internet and other services, and then bring existing and future network workloads.
