Tech Mahindra, a leading global provider of technology consulting and digital solutions to enterprises across industries, announced a licensing agreement with AT&T for its proprietary Automated Network Testing (ANT) and Open Tool platforms. These applications deliver an advanced platform designed to transform network testing and certification across Long Term Evolution (LTE), 5G Non-Standalone (NSA), and 5G Standalone (SA) domains.

Tech Mahindra will integrate the ANT and Open Tool into its suite of telecommunications solutions, which will empower Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to conduct network health checks, connectivity tests, and debugging with unprecedented speed and precision, ensuring a robust and reliable network for the customers. The ANT platform provides a user-friendly graphical interface, a robust test execution engine, and an automated backend to simplify test execution and validation of networks. It acts as an orchestrator, seamlessly integrating with multiple external industry traffic generation tools.
