- AT&T (NYSE:T) and Orange (ORAN) are working together to push software-defined networking and network function virtualization, two areas that will benefit increasing standardization in network deployment.

- The two said they would concentrate on equipment for customer premises, on streamlining onboarding for virtual network functions, and on making APIs that should ease interoperability of different SDN architectures.
