Tata Communications Named Best Asian Wholesale Carrier

Tata Communications, a provider of a new world of communications, has won the Best Asian Wholesale Carrier Award at the 2012 Capacity Awards. The Capacity Awards, presented at Capacity Europe in Amsterdam, recognises wholesale players who have established themselves at the forefront of the wholesale telecoms industry by applying innovative processes and strategies to their wholesale businesses.

Alex Hawkes, Deputy Editor of Capacity Magazine, said, “This award pays tribute to Tata Communications’ strong and valuable position in the region, where it is able to offer high capacity reach to growth markets in South and Southeast Asia. The judging panel was highly impressed with the company’s substantial infrastructure investments during 2012, as well as the introduction of a number of new innovative initiatives, such as the IPX+ mobile broadband enablement framework. I would like to congratulate Tata Communications for winning the Capacity award for Best Asian Wholesale Carrier."

Tata Communications’ breadth of wholesale offerings helps service providers address their core business challenges including service reach and interoperability, end-user experience, efficient capital allocation, and technology transformation. The past year has seen service innovation to support convergence with the launch of the IPX+ framework to address mobile broadband inter-provider challenges and the Global Meeting Alliance membership network, which helps service providers extend the global reach of business video.
