The GNOC staff monitors and proactively manages the data and voice traffic flowing across AT&T's domestic and global networks twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. From their workstations on the GNOC floor, they can quickly survey a sweeping wall of 141 giant screens showing different aspects of network activity, network topography and news events.
