The future takes flight: AT&T and Ericsson demonstrate drone detection outside of AT&T Stadium

Published

on

DALLAS, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AT&T and Ericsson demonstrated drone detection using advanced network sensing over a 5G network, showing how capabilities often associated with future 6G systems can begin coming to life today. The demo was conducted in authorized airspace outside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, during one of the largest global sporting events in the world. Using Ericsson technology and AT&T network expertise, it detected and located multiple drones, then tracked their movement, illustrating how wireless infrastructure could help protect major venues, critical infrastructure and other key locations.

This showed how advanced network features can be enabled using 5G capabilities as the industry momentum towards 6G standardization and subsequent deployment accelerates. Critically, the same underlying capabilities could support new levels of low altitude threat detection and tracking around major venues, public spaces and other complex environments.

Using existing cellular towers, Ericsson deployed its Massive MIMO radios across multiple sites, creating a multi-static sensing configuration. The demonstration combined sensing-enabled radio transmissions with advanced signal processing and AI-enabled sensing algorithms to detect, locate, and track the drones in real time, The network utilized the radio signals typically used for communications to enable real-time environmental sensing, while delivering a total cost of ownership advantage for nation-wide coverage.

In the demonstration, multiple drones flying at altitudes between 300 and 400 feet within the coverage area were successfully detected, localized, and continuously tracked by the sensing technology. By combining observations from multiple synchronized sensing nodes, the technology provided enhanced detection reliability, improved positioning accuracy, and robust target tracking performance. The sensing technology generated real-time target metrics, including the drone’s location, velocity, and elevation, enabling comprehensive tracking and monitoring throughout the flight path.

The demonstration highlighted how existing network infrastructure can be transformed into a distributed sensing platform, enabling advanced applications such as drone detection without requiring additional standalone sensing technology. But it shows more than a single technical milestone. It reflects a broader view shared by AT&T and Ericsson: that some of the capabilities people may think of as “6G” can begin taking shape now through software, advanced radios and continued growth of 5G.

Together, AT&T and Ericsson will continue bringing their expertise to the evolution of Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) through future demonstrations and learnings, alongside others helping shape the path toward major event environments such as the next major global sporting event in Los Angeles in 2028.

“As networks evolve, the opportunity is not just to prepare for 6G someday, but to begin introducing important building blocks now,” said Dyon Agnew, SVP and Head of Customer Unit AT&T, Ericsson Americas. “This demonstration with AT&T shows a product roadmap in action: using advanced 5G capabilities today to explore how sensing and connectivity can work together, then evolving those capabilities over time as the path to 6G becomes clearer.”

“Integrated sensing is an important part of the road to 6G, and this work helps show how we can start bringing that future to life right now,” said Yigal Elbaz, SVP and Network CTO, AT&T. “By working with Ericsson, we are exploring how advanced wireless networks can add sensing capabilities to connectivity in ways that could support safer operations, smarter venues and stronger customer experiences, while creating a path to evolve these capabilities responsibly over time.”

What this roadmap will enable over time:

Help event and facility teams improve planning and staffing by providing broader visibility into how vehicles move through large environments.Enhance coordination around temporary event infrastructure and logistics by adding network-based environmental awareness alongside connectivity.Support a wide-area drone awareness system for public-sector stakeholders, improving visibility into low-altitude drone activity as the low-altitude economy develops across cities and regions.Inform the evolution of future 5G and 6G capabilities as sensing and communications mature together for large venues, enterprises, governments and public-sector environments.

What’s next: AT&T and Ericsson will continue exploring how sensing capabilities can be introduced pragmatically using existing network foundations, then advanced over time as standards, ecosystems and market needs develop.

The goal is to help shape a practical path where future 6G capabilities are not treated as a distant leap, but as an evolution that can begin delivering value well before full 6G commercialization.

AttivoERP Emerges as a Unified Force in Full-Service ERP — Covering Every Stage of the Business Journey

Published

on

By

The consolidation of The Attivo Group and AttivoERP into one unified brand marks a new chapter — one partner, one mission, every stage of the ERP journey.

CONYERS, Ga. and IRVINE, Calif. and PROVIDENCE, R.I. and PITTSBURGH, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AttivoERP, a full-service Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) consulting and implementation firm serving manufacturers, distributors, and small to mid-sized growing businesses, today announced the unification of its brand under a single identity: AttivoERP.

This move brings together several decades of consulting expertise and ERP specialization into one team, one brand, and one mission, supporting clients across every stage of the ERP lifecycle.

When the company was founded, it deliberately positioned itself as a consultancy rather than simply a software vendor. This reflected its commitment to working with clients from the very beginning of their software purchasing journey, helping them assess needs, make informed decisions, and achieve successful outcomes. Over time, Attivo has evolved well beyond its original role. While ERP implementation remains a core area of expertise, the company now plays a much broader role in supporting organizations through their digital transformation journeys, delivering a wide range of solutions and services that help businesses modernize, innovate, and grow.

One Partner, Every Stage of the ERP Journey

AttivoERP now steps forward as a single, unified partner offering full-service ERP support from first evaluation through long-term optimization.

The company works across many of the industry’s leading platforms, including:

AcumaticaMicrosoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralOracle NetSuiteSAP Business OneEnterpryzeExact Globe+

AttivoERP’s full-service offering spans the entire ERP lifecycle, including:

ERP Selection: Helping businesses identify the right platform for their needs.Implementation: End-to-end deployment support.Training: Through the Attivo Academy resource.Support: Provided through the Attivo TotalCare program.Optimization: Ongoing system refinement as businesses grow.ERP Recovery: Rescuing stalled or troubled implementations.Legacy System Support: Including Macola, Sage 100, Exact, and Dynamics GP.Cloud Hosting: Through the dedicated Attivo Cloud Hosting.Specialized Integrations & Industry Add-Ons: Tailored to specific verticals and workflows.

“Today’s businesses require more than software support—they need a trusted advisor who understands their goals and helps them continuously improve,” said Len Reo, President & Founder of AttivoERP “Our brand relaunch, new website, and reinforces our commitment to innovation and to helping clients achieve lasting ERP success.

“The refreshed brand reflects AttivoERP’s evolution from a traditional ERP reseller and implementation partner into a strategic advisor focused on helping organizations achieve long-term business success through the alignment of people, processes, and technology.

“Len Reo, President & Founder of AttivoERP continued, “Whether a business is choosing their first ERP system or optimizing one they’ve run for a decade, they’re working with the same team, the same standards, and the same commitment to their success as when we first launched. This unification simply makes that visible from the outside.”

More Than Three Decades in the Making

AttivoERP’s roots trace back to 1992, when the company was founded as The Attivo Group — a consulting firm built around a simple idea: helping businesses run better. As ERP solutions became increasingly central to that mission, the business evolved, adopting the AttivoERP identity roughly six years ago to reflect the growing software and implementation focus.

Today, AttivoERP emerges as a unified whole: one brand, one presence, one team that has always worked toward the same goal, even under different names. This unification reflects 34 years of continuous improvement through more platforms, deeper expertise, and a growing team and partner network built around client success.

After more than three decades of growing, adapting, and expanding what we’re capable of, we’re stepping into the market as one unified brand, because that’s what we’ve become,” Reo added.

What’s New Alongside the Launch

The brand unification arrives alongside several new developments:

A new brand identity and unified website, launching this summer at attivoerp.com.AI-powered implementation and migration tools, designed to make ERP projects faster, more accurate, and more affordable.Attivo TotalCare, formalized as a new subscription offering within AttivoERP’s full-service approach.

The launch of AttivoERP.com provides a modern digital experience where clients and prospective customers can access solutions, resources, industry expertise, and educational content designed to maximize the value of their ERP investments.

“A unified brand needed a unified digital presence to match,” said Marla Malkin, VP of Marketing at AttivoERP. “Our new website and identity are built to make it immediately clear who we are and how we can help, no matter where a business is in their ERP journey.”

“For our team, this launch is more about how we show up for clients going forward,” said Emily Perez, Marketing Manager at AttivoERP. “Clients will see one consistent brand at every touchpoint, from the first conversation through years of ongoing support.”
