Worldspan Awards AT&T $30 Million Networking Contract

Worldspan, which provides 16,000 travel agencies and other users worldwide with travel data and booking capabilities, awarded AT&T a three-year, $30 million networking contract. AT&T will deploy a secure IP VPN connected to an AT&T Ultravailable fiber ring at the host site. Worldspan customers -- from the largest airlines to small, independent travel agents -- will be able to access Worldspan's systems via a number of different technologies. Major airlines and large, high-volume travel agencies, for instance, can access Worldspan's systems using a dedicated high-speed IP circuit that connects directly to the UVN ring. http://www.att.com
