AT&T and Ericsson Enhance Wireless Capacity, Coverage, and Performance Nationwide

Published

on

AT&T continues investing in its nationwide wireless network to help customers stay connected with improved coverage, better performance, and more reliable calls 

Key Takeaways:

AT&T has selected Ericsson to provide 600 MHz dual-band radios to support deployment of newly acquired spectrum from EchoStar.The new spectrum and advanced radios will improve capacity, reliability, coverage, and performance for customers.Customers can expect more reliable connections in more places, including indoors and in rural areas where coverage can sometimes be harder to deliver.These upgrades help prepare the network for growing demand from everyday apps, connected devices, AI-enabled tools, and data-heavy experiences, both now and in the future.

DALLAS, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AT&T is working with Ericsson to put its newly acquired 600 MHz spectrum to work for its customers. Ericsson’s advanced radios help AT&T use this spectrum to strengthen its wireless network and deliver a better everyday experience.

The 600 MHz spectrum AT&T acquired from EchoStar is especially valuable because it can travel farther and provide stronger coverage inside buildings compared to some higher-frequency spectrum. This helps customers stay connected in more places – at home, at work, on the road – in both urban and rural areas.

Progress customers can experience
AT&T is more than 60% of the way through its wireless network modernization effort, which has greatly improved customer experience. In areas with upgraded Ericsson infrastructure, AT&T customers are seeing:

Up to 2x improvement in average speedsImproved call reliability, with a 10% reduction in dropped and blocked callsReduced occurrences of slower data speeds by up to 70%By standardizing equipment at the top of cell towers, customers could experience reduced uplink interference by up to 80%

These upgrades are designed to help America’s largest wireless network carry more data, respond faster, and keep customers connected more consistently as wireless demand grows.

Strengthening performance for the AI era
Through an open and competitive process, Ericsson was selected as a supplier of 600 MHz dual-band radios, enabling AT&T to deploy uplink-enhancing 8RX technology across low bands for the first time. This work supports future connectivity needs while strengthening the network for AI-driven creation, sharing, and real-time interaction.

This work also builds on AT&T and Ericsson’s previously announced collaboration to accelerate Open RAN deployment.

“We’re more than halfway through our wireless network modernization, and we’re executing to plan,” said Yigal Elbaz, SVP and Network CTO, AT&T. “By combining our newly acquired 600 MHz spectrum with Ericsson’s advanced radios, we’re improving coverage and performance for customers while building a more modern, flexible network for the future.”

“AT&T’s network modernization is a powerful proof point for how open architectures and advanced capabilities can transform performance at scale,” said Dyon Agnew, SVP and Head of Customer Unit AT&T, Ericsson Americas. “Together, we’re helping deliver faster speeds, more reliable coverage, and a more consistent customer experience across the United States.”

AT&T will provide additional details about its 600 MHz deployment plans, including timing and commercial availability, at a later date.

The expected capital investments associated with this agreement are reflected in the financial outlook and capital allocation plan provided in AT&T’s second-quarter 2026 earnings release.

OneBill Software Launches CPQ360.ai, an AI-First CPQ Built to Work With Any Billing Stack

Published

August 6, 2026

By

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OneBill Software today announced the launch of CPQ360.ai, an AI-first configure-price-quote product built to run on top of any billing platform to complete the quote-to-revenue lifecycle. CPQ360.ai governs every quote, rep-built or AI agent-built, under the same pricing rules, margin guardrails, and approval logic, then hands off clean, billing-ready terms through native connectors — live today for Stripe, with additional platforms in active development.

CPQ360.ai is built for the industries where quoting complexity is highest – telecom, hi-tech, manufacturing, and medical devices; where complex bundles, configurable pricing, and multi-party approvals make manual quoting unworkable.

Unlike CPQ tools that bolt AI onto an existing UI, CPQ360.ai is API-first, with REST APIs, webhooks, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) access built in from day one. It’s billing-platform agnostic by design, so the quote-to-revenue lifecycle completes on whatever CRM, contract, and billing stack a team already runs — Salesforce or HubSpot for CRM, any eSign tool, and any billing platform — without requiring teams to replace what’s already working.

“We set out to build an agentic-first CPQ that drops into any RevOps stack, on any billing platform,” said JK Chelladurai, Founder and CEO of OneBill Software. “Our team spent years running quote-to-revenue at scale inside OneBill. CPQ360.ai is built on that experience, so an AI agent and a human rep are held to the exact same rules, on any billing platform.”

CPQ360.ai is available now at www.cpq360.ai, where teams can book a personalized demo or start a free trial.

About CPQ360.ai

CPQ360.ai is a configure-price-quote product built for agentic execution on an API-first foundation, completing the quote-to-revenue lifecycle on whatever CRM, contract, and billing systems are already in place. CPQ360.ai is a OneBill Software company. Learn more at www.cpq360.ai

ACRE, Israel and FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SolidRun, a leading developer of embedded computing and edge AI solutions, and Leopard Imaging Inc., a global leader in embedded vision and camera technology, today announced a technology collaboration to simplify and accelerate the development of next-generation edge AI vision applications.

As AI-powered vision becomes increasingly important across industrial automation, robotics, intelligent transportation, security, and medical imaging, developers face growing pressure to reduce integration effort and shorten time-to-market. By combining Leopard Imaging’s industry-leading camera technology with SolidRun’s Hailo-15 AI platforms, the collaboration provides customers with a pre-validated solution that enables them to focus on application development rather than hardware integration.

Through this collaboration, Leopard Imaging’s MIPI CSI-2 camera modules have been validated and optimized for use with SolidRun’s Hailo-15 System-on-Module (SoM) and HummingBoard Hailo-15 AIOT platforms. The integrated solution combines advanced imaging, embedded AI processing, and production-ready hardware into a single platform for rapid development and deployment.

The solution currently supports Leopard Imaging camera modules based on Sony’s IMX678 and IMX334 image sensors. When paired with the Hailo-15 platform, developers benefit from dual 12-megapixel Image Signal Processors (ISP), AI-powered image enhancement, and up to 20 TOPS of edge AI performance for demanding real-time vision workloads.

The companies have jointly validated camera compatibility, image quality, and platform integration, helping customers reduce engineering risk, shorten development cycles, and accelerate the transition from prototype to production.

“Our mission has always been to simplify the development of advanced embedded AI systems,” said Dr. Atai Ziv, CEO of SolidRun. “By collaborating with Leopard Imaging, we are delivering a validated AI vision platform that removes much of the complexity of camera integration and allows developers to focus on creating innovative AI applications instead of solving hardware integration challenges.”

“Leopard Imaging is committed to delivering industry-leading embedded camera modules that provide the image quality, reliability, and performance required for demanding vision applications,” said Bill Pu, Co-founder and CEO of Leopard Imaging.

The combined solution is ideally suited for a broad range of edge AI applications, including:

Smart security and surveillanceIntelligent transportation systemsIndustrial automationRobotics and autonomous machinesSmart retailMedical imagingSmart city infrastructure

The joint solution is available today through SolidRun’s Hailo-15 System-on-Module, HummingBoard Hailo-15 AIOT, and evaluation kits. Developers can begin evaluating the platform immediately using production-ready hardware, software support, and documentation.
