AT&T and China Telecom in late 2011 signed a strategic framework agreement to deliver advanced global solutions to multinational companies. AT&T has similar agreements with other carriers around the world.

The strategic framework agreement enables AT&T to now deliver an expanded range of business-critical services – including Virtual Private Network (VPN), Ethernet and unified communication solutions.

Global customers are expected to experience higher performance levels, lower latency and richer features.

The new network solutions with China Telecom also increase the geographic reach of services that AT&T can deliver.

AT&T has a long-standing presence in China and extensive experience meeting the local needs of its international customers.  In 2000, AT&T and China Telecom formed a joint venture Shanghai Symphony Telecommunications (SST).

Meanwhile, China Telecom and AT&T have also implemented an NNI (Network to Network Interconnect) in New York and San José in the US, which allows China Telecom to expand its Ethernet and MPLS service coverage into the U.S. and other parts of the world to serve a growing number of Chinese enterprises.

AT&T is also working with China Telecom to automate inter-carrier processes needed to provision and support customer services.

AT&T is already providing global solutions to companies like IBM and Eaton which have substantial operations in China.
