Resource One CU Inks Telecom Pact With AT&T

DALLAS – Resource One CU said yesterday it has signed a new three-year contract with AT&T for networking and managed telecommunications services. AT&T will implement an MPLS-based Virtual Private Network, as well as Managed Internet Services at the credit union’s multiple locations, providing increased bandwith and always-available Internet, and establishing a convergent, Internet Protocol-based network. The VPN will allow the $200 million credit union to prioritize data for greater network efficiency. The increased bandwith will allow the credit union to adopt Voice over Internet Protocol technology.
