AT&T Enterprise Mobility Earns Top Ratings From Current Analysis

DALLAS, Jan. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* today announced that Current Analysis, a leading industry analyst firm, has recognized AT&T's enterprise mobility services with the highest possible competitive ranking in a "current perspective" report.(1) Current Analysis credited AT&T's strengths in growing areas such as managed mobility services, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, and mobile applications with contributing to AT&T's success in enterprise mobility.

According to Current Analysis' Kathryn Weldon, AT&T delivers "a comprehensive mobility portfolio and roadmap, a compelling set of core network assets and technologies, and expertise in addressing diverse business network requirements."  She later adds, "AT&T is offering integrated solutions rather than technology silos."

AT&T's sharp focus in the enterprise mobility space, mentioned often throughout the Current Analysis report, stems from the formation of the Advanced Enterprise Mobility Solutions (AEMS) group last year.  Since its inception, AEMS has launched more than a dozen new mobility products and services.  AT&T's recent acquisition of assets from inCompass Wireless, a mobile systems integrator and technology provider, has further spurred AT&T's development of valuable mobility solutions.

AT&T's innovative approach to the creation and distribution of mobile applications earned Current Analysis' recognition as well.  The AT&T Mobile Enterprise Applications Platform (AT&T MEAP) is a comprehensive suite of products and services from AT&T that enables businesses to design, build, deploy, and manage mobile applications.  Current Analysis points out that AT&T's MEAP is more advanced than offerings from most other carriers.

Current Analysis' very favorable report captures AT&T's dedication to providing innovative mobile solutions to its clients. AT&T today offers an integrated enterprise mobility portfolio of wireless and wireline choices and a variety of IP, hosting, application, and security solutions, all of which simply and seamlessly support its customers' businesses.
