AT&T to upgrade network infrastructure for Internet Security Systems

Telecomms holding company AT&T Inc (NYSE:T) has signed a three year contract to upgrade the network infrastructure of enterprise security company Internet Security Systems Inc (ISS).

AT&T said the new contract, which follows ISS's adoption of AT&T's MPLS technology in 2004, which extends the MPLS services to ISS locations in the US, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. ISS will use the network upgrade to add further company locations in the future.

According to AT&T, the network upgrade will provide ISS with disaster recovery services which use the fastest, most advanced any-to-any mesh connectivity, to ensure outages at centralised hubs do not disrupt the networks.

ISS will also use the upgraded network to introduce VoIP capabilities across its enterprise, enabling it to streamline internal voice communications and gain maximum cost-efficiencies. The new contract also covers dedicated Internet, long distance and AT&T ultravailable local access services
