In testing, Ericsson’s Low-Latency Mobility feature set reduced data interruption during cell changes by up to 25% versus legacy Layer 3 mobility, aiming for faster, more reliable handovers and steadier data rates for devices in motion.“Our field trials with Ericsson and MediaTek prove that LTM dramatically improves mobility performance where it matters most—on the move,” said Rob Soni, VP of RAN Technology at AT&T. “This consistency ensures more reliable connections for cloud applications and immersive video today, while paving the way for tomorrow’s next-gen XR and real-time, AI-driven edge processing.”AT&T Stock: Key Levels To WatchEven with Tuesday’s bounce, the longer-term chart still leans bearish: the stock is trading 5.3% below its 20-day SMA ($22.17) and 12% below its 50-day SMA ($23.87), with deeper gaps versus the 100-day and 200-day averages.
