This new agreement enables both companies to leverage each other’s network footprint and offer end users additional networking solutions. PCCW Global is an operating division of HKT, Hong Kong’s premier telecommunications service provider. By establishing this Ethernet interconnect with PCCW, Lightower will [![HKT Logo](https://blog.jsa.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/HKT-Logo-PNG.png?width=115&height=45&name=HKT-Logo-PNG.png "HKT Logo")](https://blog.jsa.net/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/HKT-Logo-PNG.png)extend its switched and dedicated regional Ethernet reach beyond the U.S. and into 86 countries covered by PCCW Global’s Ethernet network. This also allows Lightower customers to access the more than 100 Ethernet PoPs deployed on PCCW’s leading-edge international MPLS backbone. Connecting major carrier hotels within New York and Chicago, the new E-NNIs enhance PCCW Global’s Ethernet capabilities in the United States and will bridge the East Coast and Midwest regions. PCCW Global is continuously expanding its services into new markets and developing its business into far-flung locations worldwide with carrier MPLS and Ethernet interconnects reaching more than 3,000 destinations in 130 countries. Mr. Richard Brolly, President of Americas of PCCW Global, said, “PCCW Global is honored to be Lightower's first international Ethernet bilateral partner. We are confident that this collaboration will provide an unparalleled quality of experience to our regional and global customers who will leverage Lightower’s capabilities throughout the United States.” Mr. Scott Levy, Vice President of Carrier Sales for Lightower, said, “Ethernet interconnectivity affords carriers flexible ways to expand into new markets and leverage cutting-edge services. With these E-NNIs, PCCW Global is able to rapidly launch services in the U.S. market, especially in high demand markets such as Herndon, Virginia and New York City. With our unique and redundant facilities, Lightower offers carriers secure access to 130 data centers, and over 115 carrier hotels and central offices.” For more information on Lightower’s services, visit [http://www.lightower.com/network-services/](http://www.lightower.com/network-services/) [Connectivity](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/connectivity-2), [optical transport](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/optical-transport), [e-nni](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/e-nni), [ENNI](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/enni), [Ethernet interconnectivity](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/ethernet-interconnectivity), [fiber](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/fiber), [fiber optics](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/fiber-optics), [HKT](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/hkt), [MPLS](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/mpls), [Multiprotocol Label Switching](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/multiprotocol-label-switching), [network growth](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/network-growth), [Lightower Fiber Networks](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/lightower-fiber-networks), [metro ethernet](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/metro-ethernet-ethernet), [business partnership](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/business-partnership), [Ethernet](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/ethernet), [bandwidth](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/bandwidth), [big data](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/big-data), [broadband infrastructure](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/broadband-infrastructure), [business ethernet](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/business-ethernet), [business strategy](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/business-strategy), [carrier](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/carrier), [carrier ethernet](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/carrier-ethernet-carrier), [Bandwidth Infrastructure](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/bandwidth-infrastructure-2), [Global Telecommunications](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/global-telecommunications), [interconnection](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/interconnection), [PCCW GLobal](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/pccw-global), [Richard Brolly](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/richard-brolly), [Scott Levy](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/scott-levy), [Optical Networking](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/optical-networking), [Optical Transport](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/optical-transport-2), [telecom industry blog](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/telecom-industry-blog-2), [telecom news](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/telecom-news-2), [Wholesale Carrier](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/wholesale-carrier), [wholesale interconnectivity](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/wholesale-interconnectivity), [Telecom](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/telecom), [telecom news blog](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/telecom-news-blog), [Telecommunications](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/telecommunications), [Wholesale Telecom](https://blog.jsa.net/blog/tag/wholesale-telecom) #### Share This Article [mailto:?body=https://blog.jsa.net/blog/lightower-and-pccw-establish-international-ethernet-interconnectivity-agreement/14988](mailto:?body=https://blog.jsa.net/blog/lightower-and-pccw-establish-international-ethernet-interconnectivity-agreement/14988) TEX Dallas 2019 is taking place on March 13, 2019 at the Aloft Dallas Downtown.
