AT&T has reportedly launched an emerging devices web site designed to help manufacturers quickly establish a working relationship with the carrier and to navigate easily their device, network and go-to-market needs.

 

According to AT&T (News - Alert) officials the site will serve as an entry point into the emerging devices organization for consumer electronics and next generation device manufacturers interested in connecting devices to AT&T's nationwide wireless network.

 

Company officials said that the site offers a complete suite of resources to investigate the right business model, network options, product specifications, and potential customer care and distribution needs to ensure a seamless, accelerated product launch.

 

'A dedicated Web site enables us to put a face on the emerging devices organization,' said Glenn Lurie, president – emerging devices, resale and partnerships – AT&T mobility and consumer markets, in a statement. “It helps identify who we are, and also promotes a nimble, faster, and more intuitive experience for the manufacturer who may not have experience in the wireless sector.”

 

He said that it is an asset for the company, but more importantly, a resource for those who have an idea for a wirelessly connected product and need a trusted hand to help guide it to market.

 

The company officials said that the visitors to the AT&T emerging devices web site will have an opportunity to learn more about the organization and its focus, meet the emerging devices leadership team, and explore AT&T business models, network options, the product certification process, and customer care and distribution offerings.

 

TMCnet recently reported that AT&T has extended an agreement with KORE Telematics, one of the AT&T’s largest Value Added Reseller of machine-to-machine network services, to support wireless data services through AT&T Control Center, powered by Jasper Wireless.

 

According to AT&T officials, KORE Telematics as a result of this agreement will manage customers who can benefit from access to the company’s control center’s diagnostic tools, as well as further streamline the recently introduced certification process.
