The extension continues what has been a roller coaster ride for Nokia equipment within AT&T’s network.

The deal has garnered approval from more than a dozen international regulatory bodies.

Simplifying network connectivity is an important challenge for vendors as they look to move new services and technology into the enterprise space.
