BAE Systems to Enhance Global Collaboration With AT&T Telepresence Solution

Participants around the world can instantly connect for an 'in-person' Cisco
TelePresence experience

ARLINGTON, Va., March 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BAE Systems Land and
Armaments, an operating group within BAE Systems, a global defense and
aerospace contractor, is enhancing their global collaboration and productivity
with AT&T's Telepresence Solution. Under a new $5 million, three-year contract
with AT&T*, BAE Systems Land & Armaments will use the AT&T Telepresence
Solution to provide an "in-person" meeting experience with leadership teams
and engineering teams across the U.S. and the United Kingdom. This capability
will be expanded to Sweden, South Africa and other regions in the future.

With AT&T Telepresence Solution, BAE Systems Land and Armament employees will
be able to sit across the table from "actual-size" video of colleagues around
the world on ultra-high definition 1080p screens with spatial, wide-band audio
and communicate real-time across AT&T's reliable network. In addition, with
the AT&T Business Exchange technology, BAE Systems Land and Armaments will be
able to conduct multipoint meetings beyond the enterprise boundary to help
enable meetings with customers, suppliers and partners.

Specifically, the solution, which is based on the award-winning Cisco
TelePresence technology, will enable closer collaboration across BAE Systems
Land and Armaments' global and regional teams, which will help accelerate
decision-making processes and problem-solving for high-priority projects. With
the anticipated increase in productivity through engineering team
collaboration, and frequent management team interactions, the participants
will also realize reduction in travel time and costs.

In addition, with AT&T fully managing the solution to include in-room
equipment, installation, full monitoring and management of the application,
network provisioning, remote help desk service and on-site equipment
maintenance and repair, BAE Systems Land and Armaments will not have to assign
and allocate additional resources for support activities and will therefore
have the ability to focus the resources on other projects.

"Connecting our employees and bridging the distances between our home markets
is a key capability which is being rolled out through our World-Class IT
Infrastructure Initiative. AT&T's managed Telepresence Solution is a critical
component to enable this capability. Our teams will experience an in-person
meeting without having to travel frequently. We anticipate reduction in travel
time, costs, and realize other benefits including improved employee safety and
quality of life through this environmentally-friendly tool," said Bharat Amin,
VP & CIO at BAE Systems Land & Armaments.

"In a rapidly changing world, businesses need the ability to change course
quickly, collaborate globally, and streamline decision-making across multiple
parties," said Ronald E. Spears, president and CEO of AT&T Business Solutions.
"AT&T's Telepresence Solution offers a secure, 'in-person' Cisco TelePresence
meeting experience that is ultimately transforming how enterprises communicate
and collaborate with their employees, customers and partners around the
world."
