New World Communications has announced that it has signed a deal with Global Crossing to deliver multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) IP VPN and international private leased circuit (IPLC) services to multinational enterprises in more than 500 cities in 50 countries.
Through the deal, the Hong Kong-based New World Communications (NWT) will use Global Crossing's MPLS-based IP network and its iMPLS service, an enhanced provider-interconnect solution that allows NWT to offer its regional customers a global MPLS-based IP VPN service reach with guaranteed performance service-level agreements (SLAs).
iMPLS enables the connection of Global Crossing's IP-based network with NWT's network that is equipped with a "packet-over-fiber" platform that supports convergence of voice, data and video.
Subsea cable alternatives can provide a level of comfort for those concerned about disruptions. Realistically, they will continue to play a small, but critical role in the short term.
Maintaining existing network infrastructures often incurs huge technical debt before newer technologies are adopted over time.
Amid ongoing regional uncertainties, telecom infrastructure in the Middle East has expand to include terrestrial low-latency network infrastructure, which offers resilience and agility in navigating political complexities without relying solely on undersea networks.
