Tech Mahindra (NSE: TECHM), a global leader in technology consulting and digital solutions, has signed a licensing agreement with AT&T to use its proprietary Automated Network Testing (ANT) and Open Tool platforms — advanced systems built to streamline network testing and certification across LTE, 5G Non-Standalone (NSA), and 5G Standalone (SA) networks.

By integrating these applications into its telecom suite, Tech Mahindra aims to help Communication Service Providers (CSPs) conduct network health checks, connectivity tests, and debugging faster and more accurately. The ANT platform features a graphical interface, test execution engine, and automated backend that simplify test management and validation — functioning as an orchestrator that connects seamlessly with multiple external traffic generation tools.

“Networks have become the invisible lifeline of our digital society,” said Manish Mangal, President and Head – Americas Communication Business, Tech Mahindra. “In an era of unprecedented technological change, maintaining reliability demands testing at equally unprecedented speed and scale. Integrating these AT&T applications enables us to reimagine network reliability in the AI-native era.”

The Open Tool, another core component of the platform, enables data and voice traffic simulation for certifying and validating mobile packet core networks in both lab and production environments — ensuring end-to-end reliability for telecom providers.

Kelly Marlar, Vice President and Managing Director of AT&T Intellectual Property, added: “This licensing agreement highlights AT&T’s dedication to innovation and the value of our technology development. By collaborating with trusted third parties like Tech Mahindra, we accelerate innovation, create new revenue opportunities, and deliver proven solutions to market faster.”

Under this agreement, Tech Mahindra will offer these AT&T-developed network testing solutions to wireless providers in markets where AT&T does not operate. The move supports Tech Mahindra’s strategy to enhance telecom network performance, scalability, and customer experience globally.

With over 250 telecom clients across 90 countries, Tech Mahindra continues to position itself as a trusted transformation partner driving next-generation connectivity solutions and network engineering excellence.
