VSNL Singapore Pte Ltd. ("VSNL International"), the
international arm of Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (NYSE:VSL) operating
in key global business hubs and offering a comprehensive suite of
communications solutions for enterprises and carriers, introduces
Dedicated Global Ethernet, its global Ethernet private line service
connecting major cities throughout North America, Europe, Asia and an
extensive footprint connecting 120 cities in India. Using a SDH/SONET
platform to ensure low latency and jitter and high reliability, this
scalable, high performance solution enables enterprises to
economically extend their local area networks to support global video,
voice and data transport and to securely and seamlessly send
point-to-point traffic between destinations across the world. The new
offering using SDH/SONET complements VSNL's global offering of
Ethernet over MPLS.
Dedicated Global Ethernet offers bandwidth between 2-1,000
Megabits per second with the flexibility to upgrade the bandwidth on
an as-needed basis without service interruption. Customers improve
cash flow and reduce costs by eliminating long term commitments to
purchase capacity that will not be needed for some time. They purchase
today what is needed today and only upgrade as demand dictates.
Enterprises can increase bandwidth as their usage grows, and carriers
are able to cost-effectively manage the evolving demands of their
growing customer bases.
"Reliable, secure, and easy-to-manage Ethernet over the wide area
network is a rapidly growing connection of choice for metro and
national WAN implementations, a transition being facilitated by the
excellent work of the Metro Ethernet Forum, or MEF," says Vinod
Kumar, President, VSNL International. "Dedicated Global Ethernet from
VSNL International provides the benefits of the Ethernet WAN to
enterprises and carriers, but on a global scale. It capitalizes on the
unique reach and scale of Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited's ("VSNL")
worldwide network, an integration of the networks of VSNL and its Tyco
Global Network and Teleglobe acquisitions."
"We are pleased that VSNL International is participating with MEF
to help propagate standards-based wide area Ethernet both globally and
also across the dynamically growing markets in India," says Nan Chen,
President, Metro Ethernet Forum. "With VSNL International's expertise
in global markets, we're excited to have them as a member,
collaborating with industry-leading companies to enhance worldwide
awareness of the benefits of Ethernet services."
VSNL International's standards compliant Dedicated Global Ethernet
combines the flexibility and features of Ethernet with the proven
reliability and high performance of SDH/SONET to create a robust,
highly secure, carrier grade Ethernet Private Line (EPL) service.
Dedicated Global Ethernet provides point to point isolated data links,
excellent jitter and latency performance, and non-service-interrupting
bandwidth upgrades. The flexibility of Ethernet helps enterprises and
carriers reduce their total cost of ownership and improve cash flow by
eliminating bandwidth forecasting and providing
non-service-interrupting bandwidth upgrades. Finance, media and
healthcare companies or any institution with large bandwidth
requirements will prefer Dedicated Global Ethernet's rigorous data
security and high performance.
Dedicated Global Ethernet is supported with a single, end-to-end
Service Level Agreement and dedicated global support in every country
served. Dedicated Global Ethernet is carried across VSNL's extensive
global and India fiber optic infrastructure, providing unsurpassed
circuit availability and capacity.
VSNL International provides a suite of Global Ethernet WAN
Services allowing the creation of the best solution for the specific
needs of enterprises and carriers. Dedicated Global Ethernet is
complemented by VSNL International's Global Ethernet over MPLS, which
offers point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and multiple classes of
service for global and India Ethernet WANs. Available now, Global
Ethernet over MPLS will be formally launched in the coming months.
