SAN DIEGO, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T today announced that Charlotte Russe Holding Inc., a San Diego-based retailing company, has selected the company to provide end-to-end networking services to all Charlotte Russe and Rampage stores.
Operating 372 stores in 39 states, Charlotte Russe is a growing mall-based specialty retailer of fashionable, value-priced apparel and accessories targeting young women in their teens and twenties.
This deal -- part of a larger, three-year, $2.3 million contract Charlotte Russe has with AT&T -- includes a new Internet Protocol (IP)-based networking infrastructure that will provide secure, high-speed connectivity and data transfer. The deal also includes a range of domestic voice and professional services.

The solution gave us the bandwidth to run our applications and the reliability to support our business," said Shane C. Milano, Charlotte Russe's director of infrastructure and distributed systems.
The networking solution will reduce downtime associated with older network infrastructures and allow Charlotte Russe to more securely and expeditiously process all credit card and gift card transactions throughout the company's retail stores.
