Implementation expands Inteliquent’s Ethernet services in Malaysia
Inteliquent, a provider of global interconnection and interoperability solutions, announced its strategic alliance with Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM), Malaysia’s leading new generation communications provider for the implementation of Inteliquent’s EtherCloudSM solution for TM.
Under the collaboration, TM will use Inteliquent’s EtherCloud solution to extend its Global Ethernet reach by leveraging on Inteliquent’s over 120 points of presence (PoP) worldwide, therefore significantly increasing the availability of TM’s Layer 2 Ethernet services to locations currently off-net; particularly in Europe and North America. Likewise, Inteliquent will leverage TM’s comprehensive coverage to fulfill growing demand for Ethernet in Malaysia and Asia Pacific. As a result, the agreement will expand both companies’ Ethernet services to high demand markets.
"Inteliquent's extensive network reach is complemented by the network reach of each of our EtherCloud partners," comments Surendra Saboo, President and COO of Inteliquent. “We’re pleased to add TM's extensive network presence to expand our coverage and better serve the needs of our customers. TM is an esteemed and well respected carrier that continues to introduce innovative services and we are excited to be a part of its latest product enhancement.”
A Layer 2 platform, EtherCloud connects diverse partner networks into a seamless Ethernet cloud that delivers end-to-end connectivity around the world. It relies on a global MPLS backbone as a distributed switched network of 120 PoPs to interconnect partners' networks through standardized E-NNIs. By interconnecting partner networks to create one holistic Ethernet cloud, EtherCloud enables users to both source and sell Ethernet Point-to-Point, Point-to-multipoint and Any-to-Any (VPLS), allowing them to create high performance connectivity solutions for all Global Ethernet WAN requirements. EtherCloud provides a one-stop-shop to connect anywhere in the world.
