AT&T partners with AWS and Amazon Leo for infrastructure modernization

February 4, 2026 8:01 AM

AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) announced strategic agreements with Amazon Web Services and Amazon Leo to modernize connectivity infrastructure across the United States. The collaboration involves three main components: migrating AT&T workloads to AWS, providing high-capacity fiber connectivity for data centers, and working with Amazon Leo to extend network capabilities.

AT&T will migrate workloads from on-premises technologies to AWS Outposts, a managed hybrid cloud offering. The company stated it will use Amazon Q Developer and other AWS services to accelerate the migration of network service enablement systems. AT&T expects the migration to improve infrastructure management and modernize business support systems.

The telecommunications company will connect AWS data center locations with high-capacity fiber infrastructure. This connection aims to support AWS's cloud services for customers developing AI applications.

AT&T will collaborate with Amazon Leo, Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite network that operates as a separate business unit. Amazon Leo will provide internet connectivity services to AT&T, enabling the company to deliver fixed broadband services to business customers in underserved areas.

"This collaboration with AWS marks a pivotal step forward in shaping the future of connectivity in the United States," said Shawn Hakl, senior vice president of product at AT&T Business. "By pairing our expanding fiber infrastructure with AWS's cloud capabilities, and through our collaboration to deliver the infrastructure of the future by connecting data centers, we're creating a more resilient, scalable, and intelligent connectivity ecosystem."

The companies plan to demonstrate their collaboration at Mobile World Congress 2026, where AWS will showcase AT&T's infrastructure modernization through AWS Outposts and AI solutions.

Amazon Leo operates a constellation of more than 3,000 satellites and includes antennas designed to communicate with satellites. The service targets customers beyond existing network reach, from households to enterprise and government customers.
