AT&T Annual Report 2008
Right: AT&T Labs employees work
every day to develop innovative
applications — such as the ability to
access live traffic cameras via wireless
devices, TVs and PCs — that build on
the unprecedented connectivity our
networks offer.
For decades, AT&T has driven innovation in wireless, IP and data services
that have revolutionized how we work and live, driving unprecedented
advances in productivity and capability. Today, the company is leading
a new wave of innovation focused on making connectivity and
communications more integrated, productive, intuitive and easier to use —
in other words, making digital communications as simple and effective as
face-to-face interactions.
To take our unsurpassed connectivity to the next level, we’re driving
continual innovation in the technologies that power our network, as well
as the applications we deliver over it. For example, we’re developing
applications that exploit our unsurpassed connectivity, such as:
The ability to add speech recognition to targeted software applications
to facilitate access to information and communications.
New telehealth capabilities to allow doctors to make virtual house
calls to patients.
Convergence applications to facilitate more seamless access to
information across wireless, TV and PC screens. These innovations
include HD consumer video conferencing, an integrated message
center, an application that turns iPhone 3G into a TV/DVR remote,
live traffic cameras on the TV and games that integrate the wireless
and TV screens.
