Teleglobe International Holdings Ltd (NASDAQ:TLGB), a
leading provider of international telecommunications services to
Internet service providers and to fixed and mobile network operators,
and Hexago, a leading provider of IPv6 deployment solutions, today
announced that Teleglobe is now exclusively hosting Freenet6, Hexago's
IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel broker in Montreal.
Since 1999 Freenet6 has been the service of choice for developers
in the industry and amongst telecommunication carriers around the
world to test their IPv6 implementations in a real network
environment. More than 150,000 tunnels have been set up to Freenet6
and continue to expand with the accelerating adoption of IPv6.
"The Freenet6 servers were moved to Teleglobe's network in order
to bring Freenet6 closer to a major artery of the global Internet and
improve the quality and speed of connections," said Sylvie LaPerriere,
Director of Marketing for Teleglobe's Data & IP Services. "The move
emphasizes Hexago's continuing support of Freenet6 and Teleglobe's
commitment to the IPv6 networking world. We are excited that Hexago
has chosen Teleglobe to help them push the IPv6 envelope."
"Teleglobe's reputation for global reach and quality in their IP
backbone as well as their IPv6 expertise made it easy for us to choose
them to host Freenet6," said Marc Blanchet, CTO, Hexago. "We look
forward to continuing the adoption of IPv6 with Teleglobe."
Freenet6, powered by Hexago's Migration Broker, connects users
worldwide to the new Internet with cutting-edge features such as a
permanent IPv6 address and prefix, as well as DNS registration and
reverse delegation. The advanced NAT traversal features of Freenet6
allow users to trial and experience the unique aspects of peer to peer
IP communication and mobility. Freenet6 assigns a single IPv6 address
and a DNS name to every user, making their PC reachable from anywhere
on the IPv6 Internet. A full /48 prefix may also be assigned to a
router, enabling the distribution of IPv6 connectivity to an entire
network. These capabilities, as well as SNMP monitoring and the
ability to authenticate users and fetch address delegation data from a
Radius server can be deployed directly by ISP's, Carriers, Government
organizations and Enterprises using the Migration Broker within their
network.
Teleglobe's global IP network supports a wide variety of advanced
data and IP services including global IP transit, international
private leased circuits (IPLs), bandwidth capacity, and broadcast
services. Teleglobe has ownership in over 100 subsea and terrestrial
cable systems and has access to over 40 teleport antennas and
