case study ADC Assists AT&T with 9/11 Calling Card Program Customer AT&T is among the premier voice and data communications companies in the world, serving business, consumers, and government customers. It runs one of the most sophisticated communications networks in the U.S., and is a leading supplier of data, Internet and managed services for the public and private sectors. The company is a market leader in local, long distance and Internet services, as well as transaction-based services like prepaid cards, collect calling and directory assistance. AT&T has about 50 million residential and 4 million business customers depending on their network for high-quality communications. Requirements Hours after the Sept 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks, AT&T announced that it would donate $10 million in prepaid calling cards to relief agencies and family crisis centers in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. Issuing these phone cards called for expansion of the AT&T network including the addition of 98 NEC RC48 MUX units at the Denver Main central office in Colorado. The units would also need to be commissioned and integrated into the network within 10 short days due to the critical nature of the project. ADC Solution ADC has been providing product and services solutions to AT&T in the United States for many years. ADC’s Systems Integration team in Colorado was asked to perform the installation, wiring, commissioning and integration of the equipment being deployed to accommodate the thousands of phone cards issued. This was a project of massive proportions with over 2,700 circuits being added to the AT&T network. The ADC team worked around the clock, 24/7, in order to turn up the circuits according to AT&T’s commitment to victims and their families. The end result was a project completed 2 days ahead of schedule and meeting all of AT&T’s specific quality standards. 2 ADC Telecommunications, Inc., P.O.
