AT&T, Amazon Team Up on Cellular Button That Automatically Orders Products

AT&T is working with Amazon Web Services to develop an order button that runs on AT&T’s LTE-M cellular network. Via the AT&T LTE-M Button, set for Q1 availability at $29 to the first 5,000 buyers, consumers will be able to press the button to have a product delivered to their home, said the carrier. Other use cases, said AT&T: connected trash cans can trigger an alert when full and workers can order tools and supplies from a job site lacking Wi-Fi coverage. Amazon, meanwhile, offers Dash, a virtual button on its app for products customers reorder frequently.
