If there’s one thing that AT&T knows how to do well, it’s building and maintaining telecommunications infrastructure. Boeing, the airplane manufacturer, has AT&T logotapped AT&T to help enhance Boeing’s business productivity through a more efficient communications system.

AT&T will be overhauling Boeing’s wireless and wireline services with an IP-based system that includes wide area network services, voice services, audio conferencing, AT&T managed Internet Services and wireless voice and data services. And, to give Boeing some serious enterprise functionality, AT&T will be enabling Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-enabled Virtual Private Networks.

AT&T looks to be going after lucrative corporate contracts to help boost its wireless business. With Verizon’s Alltel merger looming on the horizon, threatening to bump AT&T off the top of the US wireless carrier-podium, AT&T must be feeling the pressure.

Now, we just need AT&T to build more coverage in to their 3G infrastructure in the US.
