Fujitsu Honored by AT&T as Outstanding Supplier


Richardson, TX, June 26, 2006 — Commitment to excellence over the past year has earned Fujitsu recognition as an outstanding supplier to AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T), one of the world’s leading data, voice, wireless and Internet services providers.

"We are proud of our long-standing tradition of providing unparalleled products and services to our business and residential customers," said Maureen Merkle, President, AT&T Procurement. "We’re successful on that front in large part thanks to supplier partners like Fujitsu that consistently go above and beyond the call of duty."

Fujitsu received two of 49 supplier recognition awards for its work in helping AT&T deliver outstanding service to its customers during the past year. Fujitsu was recognized for its contributions in the "Technical Innovations" and "Supplier Diversity" categories.

"As a strategic supplier to AT&T for two decades, we are extremely proud to be recognized by them annually as one of their top suppliers and very honored to win two awards this year," said George Chase, group president and chief operating officer of Fujitsu Network Communications. "Technology innovation in our industry can enact fundamental changes in the way people communicate via voice, video and data services. The world-class technology breakthroughs we’ve incorporated into our FLASHWAVE® 4000 Multi-Service Provisioning Platforms (MSPPs) and FLASHWAVE 7500 Re configurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) are helping AT&T deliver new and innovative services across their vast footprint. Plus, our recognition as the only company to receive an award in the category of supplier diversity is a reflection of the time and effort we’ve put into our industry-leading program. We are pleased to help AT&T achieve its goal of increasing relationships with minority, women and veteran-owned businesses."

As part of its annual supplier recognition program, AT&T took out a half-page ad in the June 7, 2006 edition of The Wall Street Journal to publicly thank the selected companies.
