Vista Paint to Upgrade Service Contract With AT&T

AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) today announced a new contract with Vista Paint to upgrade its current
services to an AT&T Virtual Private Network (VPN) solution. With 46 retail
locations throughout California and Nevada, Vista Paint, a Fullerton-based
company, is a leading manufacturer of fine architectural coatings for
residential, industrial and commercial uses.

Under terms of the two-year agreement, Vista Paint will upgrade its
current Internet Protocol (IP)-enabled Frame Relay services to a new AT&T
VPN solution, which will provide continuity performance and the ability to
maintain the prioritization of data traffic across the network. The AT&T
solution will connect Vista Paint’s retail locations across a wide area
network (WAN) and enable the company to deploy voice, video and
point-of-sale (POS) applications in an effort to control inventory loss and
enhance communications among headquarters and the retail stores.

The enhanced bandwidth capacity of the VPN service provided by AT&T
will enable Vista Paint to deploy its video surveillance system, enhance
its current Voice over IP (VoIP) application and provide the prioritization
for its newly deployed POS system. The upgraded solution also will provide
the reliable performance the company desires.

“Our old network services were not meeting our growing needs for
bandwidth, so we turned to AT&T for an upgrade capable of connecting our 46
retail locations under a single solution, with enhanced security and
reliability,” said Donald Notman, chief information officer with Vista
Paint. “This upgrade not only meets our immediate needs but also provides
us with the scalability and flexibility needed to implement additional
applications throughout the next two years.”

The VPN solution uses AT&T’s Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
network and provides business customers with a highly secure solution that
can expand as their communications needs grow — from customer service to
order processing — to ensure that all critical business functions can
coexist. The MPLS network also provides high levels of availability for
network reliability and provides the scalability to implement new
technological applications in the future.
