Wiliot has expanded its collaboration with AT&T in a move aimed at helping enterprises scale item-level visibility across complex supply chains, as demand grows for technologies that can sense and interpret physical operations in real time.
According to Wiliot, the agreement marks a shift from a long-running relationship towards a systems integration and device certification model intended to support larger deployments, ongoing network operations and, eventually, data servi...

ces for AT&T customers. The company said AT&T will provide network infrastructure, cellular connectivity and field execution, while Wiliot supplies the sensing and intelligence layer through its battery-free IoT Pixels.
The latest phase of the partnership builds on work that began in late 2025, when AT&T started supporting design, installation, asset tagging and maintenance for active deployments. Wiliot said the arrangement is already being used across multiple enterprise settings, including retailers, food and beverage groups and quick-service restaurants, with AT&T completing a substantial share of field work during the first quarter of the ramp-up.
Wiliot’s platform is designed to create a continuous flow of item-level data by combining battery-free sensors with cloud analytics. The company says its system can track location, temperature and other attributes without the need for traditional scanning, and describes the technology as a way to replace fragmented visibility with a more scalable operational picture.
The firms are also working on certifying Wiliot ecosystem gateway devices on AT&T’s network, a step they say should allow more native connectivity and more standardised deployment in enterprise environments. Wiliot said the longer-term goal is to extend AT&T’s role from deployment into network monitoring, alerting and wider operational support, with a path towards deeper integration of Wiliot-generated data into AT&T’s services.
In a statement, Wiliot said it already works with many major companies that have active supply chain programmes and that its platform is deployed across tens of thousands of sites. The company said these deployments have been linked to inventory accuracy of 99% or more, faster dock-to-stock times, lower receiving labour and fewer mis-shipments.
AT&T said the collaboration gives it access to a new class of supply chain data. Lee Wagner, an area vice president at AT&T, said enterprises need more than connectivity and that Wiliot’s technology could help bring case-level and asset-level visibility into AT&T’s ecosystem.
The deal also fits with Wiliot’s broader push to position Physical AI as an infrastructure layer for logistics, retail, post and parcel, food service and related sectors. The company has separately highlighted partnerships with Databricks and Velociti, suggesting it is building out both the data and deployment side of its business as it pursues larger-scale adoption.
