Tata Communications Ltd. (Tata Comm) and Turkcell Superonline, Turkey's innovative telecom operator, have signed a collaboration agreement to set up a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) node in Istanbul.
This collaboration strengthens the reach of Tata Comm's global MPLS network and brings direct and robust connectivity to global and regional businesses into and out of the region.
This partnership will enable businesses in Turkey, and adjoining countries where Turkcell Superonline has established cross-border fibre connectivity, to connect to Tata Communications' global MPLS and Ethernet networks. Other value-added services such as video conferencing and managed security can also be accessed through this point-of-presence (PoP)
Tata Comm's Managing Director and Regional Head, Middle East, North Africa and Turkey Radwan Moussalli said, "We have a long-standing partnership with Turkcell Superonline and this new MPLS node in Istanbul is the latest expansion to our global connectivity reach around the world. It not only provides the Middle East with a gateway to developed markets around the world, but also fosters enhanced trading relationships with geographies such as Africa and South East Asia using Tata Communications' extensive global network reach."
Turkcell Superonline Managing Wholesale Director Emre Erdem commented, "Strategic partnerships with global players such as Tata Communications are central to our strategy to provide resilient and reliable connectivity in region. We have invested in creating a 32,000 km fibre network within the country to transform the traditional silk route into the Middle East, central Asia and Europe into a 'fibre expressway'. Our in-country network, together with Tata Communications' global network footprint provides enhanced world-class connectivity to our customers."
At the BSE, Tata Communications shares are currently trading at Rs.290.40, up 1.01 percent from the previous close.
