AT&T Wins $27M Telehealth Contract

AT&T is capitalizing on the healthcare industry’s push for telemedicine and telehealth applications. The service provider was recently awarded a $27 million contract to provide Managed Network Service to the University of California’s California Telehealth Network (CTN).

CTN will work with AT&T to build an 860-site statewide network that will connect smaller hospitals and clinics to larger hospitals, their specialists and experts.

Funded through the FCC’s Rural Health Care Pilot Program, CTN is a statewide coalition of healthcare, technology, government and other stakeholders. With the goal of significantly increasing access to acute, primary and preventive health care in rural America, the FCC will provide CTN with up to $22.1 million over three years. Additional funds for the CTN initiative will be provided by organizations such as the California Emerging Technology Fund.
