Cable&Wireless Worldwide Delivers Two New Ethernet Services and Expands Multi- Service Platform in Asia-Pacific
Services launched will extend its Global Ethernet portfolio and deliver new networking options for customers globally
SINGAPORE, April 15 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Cable&Wireless Worldwide has announced the rollout of two new Ethernet services to add to its suite of global networking services for businesses and carrier customers.
Ethernet Wireline (EWL) and Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) solutions will run on its Multi-Service Platform (MSP) - its global next- generation network. The MSP has been extended to cover Asia Pacific, including 14 additional Points of Presence (PoPs) across countries such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, China, Malaysia, Korea, Indonesia and Thailand. This will increase C&W Worldwide's global MSP-enabled PoPs to 40.
Multinational companies and businesses across the region will now be able to benefit from high-quality Managed IP services, Ethernet-based solutions and value-added communications applications that C&W Worldwide delivers on a single secure, reliable platform.
Already available in Europe, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, and India, the MSP supports the delivery of a number of multiple services over a single network which helps reduce costs for customers and provides the flexibility to implement new services with minimal disruption, and also the ability to scale bandwidth across the network to deliver what customers need as corporate demands grow.
Nick Lambert, Managing Director, Global Markets, Cable&Wireless Worldwide said, "We continue to see increasing demand from many of our customers wanting to deploy Ethernet in their global networks as it remains a flexible, reliable and cost-effective technology. Ethernet has always been the backbone of local networks and now customers can roll this out to connect their global sites, allowing them to manage their data networks according to their specific needs."
The two solutions deliver a number of flexible options to customers across the network, such as Quality of Service and the ability to 'burst' or exceed the allocated bandwidth if required. Besides strengthening C&W Worldwide's global Ethernet networking solutions suite, these new Ethernet solutions will enable it to deliver the ideal roadmap to meet customers' networking needs for next-generation network (NGN) services.
"As businesses increasingly use more bandwidth-hungry applications such as voice and video applications, they consequently drive exponential demand for bandwidth in corporate networks. We can cost-effectively scale the network to keep pace with their business networking needs," said Alex Connors, Head, International Product Management, Cable&Wireless Worldwide.
