AT&T Collaborates with AWS and Amazon Leo to Expand Satellite-Fiber Connectivity
AT&T plans to migrate on-premises workloads to AWS and utilize Amazon Leo’s satellite fleet, delivering new fiber connections between AWS data centers. The collaboration targets improved resilience, accelerated infrastructure modernization and expanded fixed-broadband services, while an LTE-powered Tango Belt device partnership extends real-time senior care alerts in Wi-Fi–poor areas.
1. AWS and Amazon Leo Collaboration
On February 4, AT&T entered a strategic collaboration with Amazon Web Services and Amazon Leo to modernize its U.S. connectivity. Under the agreement, AT&T will migrate a substantial portion of its on-premises workloads to AWS and leverage Leo’s satellite fleet, while AWS gains new fiber connections between its data centers.
2. Tango Belt LTE Connectivity Partnership
On February 2, AT&T partnered with ActiveProtective and JACS Solutions to integrate an LTE-enabled connectivity device into the Tango Belt wearable. The addition enables real-time fall-detection alerts via AT&T’s LTE network, ensuring reliable data transmission in areas without Wi-Fi and broadening use in senior living communities and healthcare facilities.
3. Strategic Benefits and Service Expansion
These collaborations aim to enhance resilience, streamline infrastructure management and accelerate modernization across AT&T’s network. The initiatives also support expansion of fixed-broadband services for business customers, extending AT&T’s connectivity capabilities in underserved regions.
