Case Study: AT&T achieves seamless network performance during the Democratic National Convention with Ericsson

AT&T Mobility, USA partners with Ericsson to fulfill its end-user satisfaction guarantee during the Democratic National Convention

AT&T Mobility, USA partnered with Ericsson to support its service guarantee during the Democratic National Convention in Denver, where more than 50,000 visiting subscribers were expected to place heavy demands on the network. AT&T needed help ensuring strong voice, data, and roaming performance across the entire service area, especially in high-traffic locations such as airports, hotels, and the convention site.

Ericsson provided technology consulting, radio access network optimization, systems integration, and prime integrator services to plan, audit, redesign, expand, and monitor the GSM/GPRS/EDGE network. Ericsson’s work delivered 100% coverage in the service area, handled traffic increases of over 150% in voice and SMS and over 300% in data, and achieved the event with no network performance issues or service disruptions.
