 "Pacnet, Airtel, Pacific Crossing Launch 'Gateway To India'")
Following the signing of a Network-to-Network Interface (NNI) agreement to interconnect their respective networks, expanding connections to and from India, Pacnet and Bharti Airtel have also announced a special ‘Gateway to India’ offering for STM-1 and larger International Private Line circuits between the United States and India.
Delivered in collaboration with Pacific Crossing, the ‘Gateway to Asia’ offering will leverage the strengths of each company’s subsea assets to provide a fast, resilient end-to-end connection for enterprise customers who have a large capacity requirement between these markets. The connections will utilise Bharti Airtel’s i2i system, Pacnet’s EAC-C2C network and Pacific Crossing’s PC-1 cable system.
“This partnership marks a milestone in carrier collaboration, embracing the strength of each participating service provider to deliver high capacity IPL services that are being demanded by enterprise customers around the world looking to connect into and from India,” said Dennis Muscat, senior vice president of Sales, Pacnet South Asia.
“Pacific Crossing brings its performance strength in trans-Pacific transport to this partnership,” said Mark Simpson, CEO, Pacific Crossing. “Our March 2008 upgrade of the core network platform, together with the realignment of our business to focus on customer service and innovation, will offer renewed support for our carrier customers looking to connect Asia with the United States and beyond.”
In today’s competitive business environment, having the right end-to-end connections can mean the difference between success and failure, profit and loss. This global connectivity offering will enable enterprises to take advantage of a unique collaborative offering by Pacnet, Bharti Airtel and Pacific Crossing, which combines cost savings with quality performance.
