| AT&T Announces a Global Networking Contract with Foot Locker AT&T has announced a global networking contract with Foot Locker. The agreement extends and expands a long-term relationship between the two companies. Under the contract, AT&T will provide an Internet Protocol Frame Relay Network integrating Foot Locker's corporate facilities and more than 4.000 stores in 20 countries in North America, Europe and Australia. The AT&T solution provides Foot Locker with a single unified network that dramatically increases bandwidth and data speeds, enabling Foot Locker to streamline point-of-sale credit card transactions, enhance customer service and improve inventory management. The new network runs on AT&T's Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) platform and provides inherent disaster-recovery capabilities, superior levels of security and reliability and an efficient migration path to Voice over IP (VoIP) services. Through the secure AT&T BusinessDirect portal, Foot Locker will gain around-the-clock access to real-time information about the performance of its network and a direct connection to electronic billing and ordering systems. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
