About AT&T Business' involvement

Digital transformation required digital transport. It is a mentality that MxD and AT&T strive to share and show their customers. This drives data into valuable results quicker than ever before. To showcase the effect of digital transport, MxD has partnered with AT&T to form the MxD Wireless Testbed. This state of the art testbed harnesses 6 different forms of wireless communication – 4G, 5G Sub, 5G mmWave, CBRS, WiFi 5, and WiFi 6. Visitors are able to visualize the differences between each of these wireless technologies by a comparative test. Additionally, customers can determine which technology to implement in their own work spaces. Devices can be added to the bench to select what type of wireless technology is best to transport its data loads.

Enhancing Productivity through Digitalization

Although AT&T is known for supplying best in class coverage for cell phones, they also provide innovative solutions in manufacturing that utilize the cellular network.

Telit Conveyor Belt – AT&T and Telit have worked together to create an video AI solution that can register individual components and direct them accordingly.

 

AR/VR – Use virtual and augmented reality to provide insightful and hands on training experiences to your teams members.

 

Video Intelligence – Video is used in many ways in the manufacturing environment. It can be used for data collection or security. Video data, however, is large and can bog a network. This created gaps in a video feed. The AT&T Video Intelligence demonstration illustrates how these solutions can be added to your network without experiencing these painful visual gaps.

 

Asset Tracking – Use the cellular network to find you assets inside or outside. Asset trackers can also determine the state a product is in (light sensitivity, humidity, rotation).
