AT&T, AWS, and Amazon Leo Deepen Strategic Collaboration Across Cloud, Fiber, and Satellite Domains

Peter Chahal, Ahmad Latif Ali, Simon Baker — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

AT&T's expanded collaboration with AWS and Amazon Leo marks an important milestone in the telecommunications industry's shift toward hybrid, cloud‑centric operational models.

By combining its high‑capacity fiber with AWS cloud and AI capabilities and integrating Amazon Leo satellite connectivity, AT&T is building a more adaptable and resilient network architecture that can serve a wider geographic footprint. IDC views this partnership not only as a validation of AWS' hybrid cloud strategy but also as a reference model for telecom operators modernizing legacy systems while maintaining necessary on‑premises control.
