NETWORK VIRTUALIZATION
As part of its new "Project VIP" network upgrade, AT&T is adding 10,000 new large
cells and 40,000 small cells in urban areas.
By shrinking the size of each cell, AT&T can support more users per square mile.
That means fewer blocked calls and more consistent data speeds in dense cities.

UNIFIED TRANSPORT
• MPLS provides a single converged transport solution for all access technologies.
Plus MPLS is generally deployed in core networks so MPLS in the access is just an
extension of existing network transport architecture
• CAPEX and OPEX savings. No need to maintain multiple transport networks!
