Volkswagen Extends ATM Network Contract with Deutsche Telekom

Volkswagen AG extended its existing telecom contract with Deutsche Telekom's T-Systems division for an additional three and a half years. In addition, the partners have expanded the agreement to include IT services. The Deutsche Telekom subsidiary has been operating Volkswagen's network since 1993. The ATM network links all of the German production plants -- in Emden, Brunswick, Salzgitter, Hanover, Kassel, Moselle, Dresden -- as well as the company's Wolfsburg headquarters. T-Systems has also connected Volkswagen to the car industry's ENX (European Network Exchange) network, which links auto manufacturers with their suppliers. Teleworkers at Volkswagen AG are also provided ATM-DSL or ISDN connectivity into a secure VPN. Financial terms were not disclosed.
