AT&T Announces Five-Year SONET Contract in Wisconsin

AT&T was awarded a five-year optical and data-networking services contract with Advanced Healthcare, the largest physician-led, multispecialty clinic group in southeastern Wisconsin. AT&T will expand Advanced Healthcare's bandwidth through implementation of a fully redundant SONET ring to six locations throughout the state. With the additional bandwidth, Advanced Healthcare will be able to consolidate large amounts of voice, data and video traffic from its various locations to a single, fail-safe platform. The network will also support an X-ray Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), which can store, display and transmit all types of digital medical images.
