AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) today announced a three-year contract with the city of Seneca to deliver AT&T's Mobile Resource Management (MRM) service for vehicle tracking.

The city of Seneca needed real-time visibility into its city light and water service vehicles for dispatch and safety purposes.

AT&T's MRM service will enable the city of Seneca to track light and water service vehicle locations, monitor their speed and condition while on the road and report on events within vehicles. The service enables the city to improve safety and control costs by routing vehicles as efficiently as possible -- cutting down on fuel and maintenance expenses.

"This solution will enhance visibility into the vehicular operations of our city, increasing staff productivity, reducing costs and improving the safety of our drivers," said Greg Dietterick, city administrator, city of Seneca. "The city of Seneca has done a great job providing light and water services. AT&T's MRM solution is giving the city an excellent resource management tool that will help us deliver even faster and more efficient light and water services to our citizens."

The AT&T MRM solution relays vehicle location, speed and other data across the AT&T wireless data network and sends it to a secure Web site portal that is hosted in AT&T's data center. MRM data will be available to designated city light and water administrators who have access to a Web browser.

"AT&T's MRM solution for the city of Seneca demonstrates the unique ability of the new AT&T to deliver a converged enterprise application hosted in our world-class data centers and delivered across AT&T's wireless network to our business and government customers," said Ebrahim Keshavarz, vice president of Business Development, AT&T. "This solution helps Seneca leverage technology to quickly and cost-effectively respond to urgent service situations, whenever and wherever they might arise."
