AT&T Win $1.8m Contract From Littelfuse Inc.

AT&T have won a 3-year networking contract worth $1.8m from Littelfuse Inc., who are ranked as one of the premier manufacturers of electrical component and specialized circuit protection products. As part of the contract, AT&T will build a worldwide Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network (IP VPN) based on AT&T’s Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) platform. Littelfuse will use the network to support and develop their day-to-day work.

AT&T’s MPLS platform will also form the base for Littelfuse’s planned move from traditional landline telephone system to VoIP. Littelfuse intend to connect 17 manufacturing and administrative facilities throughout the United States, South America, Asia and Europe using the integrated voice and data service. This modern system is meant to improve Littelfuse’s customer service while reducing the cost of internal and external voice and data communications.

“With AT&T, we have more than just a supplier, we have a business ally that we know we can rely on to help protect our bottom line. That enables us to meet our commitment to our customers and our shareholders to find cost-effective, reliable solutions,” stated Jan LaHayne, CIO for Littelfuse.”
