Specialty vertical device refers to a broad range of devices which AT&T does not stock or directly sell. Specialty vertical devices include trunk-mounted modems, handheld units, communications modules, point-of-sale devices, fleet tracking “black boxes”, and more. AT&T’s broad portfolio of certified specialty vertical devices allows you to deploy the right data device for your particular needs.
Specialty vertical devices are typically used for line-of-business applications, such as Automatic Vehicle Tracking (AVL), Field Service Automation, telemetry applications, and more. Businesses select specialty vertical devices because of their special feature sets, in particular their ruggedness. AT&T works with third-party vendors to certify their devices on our network and help bring them to market as part of our commitment to be trusted advisors—offering our customers a wide range of business data solutions to meet their needs. In addition, we offer a full range of tools and resources through devCentral, AT&T’s developer program.
Specialty vertical devices are most often used in industries where workers operate in environments with special needs or where temperature, moisture, dust, and impact can be issues affecting the devices in use.
These industries include:
Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Utilities Telecom
