Tata Communications Strengthens MPLS Footprint in South East Asia

Mumbai, India, November 4 (ots/PRNewswire) -

- South East Asia is a Key Focus for Network Expansion

Tata Communications, a leading provider of the new world of
communications, today announced the expansion of its global MPLS
(Multi- Protocol Label Switching) services into key South - East
Asian destinations, including the Philippines, Malaysia, Taiwan, and
Thailand - providing rest of the world connectivity to the customers
conducting business in these key markets.

The MPLS expansion to these key destinations will add to Tata
Communications' existing over 120 PoPs (Points of Presence) within
India and its network presence in China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan,
Australia, and Sri Lanka as well as the company's wide global network
of international PoPs, Strategic alliances and IPSec functionality.

As a leading MPLS provider in Asia, Tata Communications now
offers customers access to a major network of owned cables, ensuring
full scalability, redundancy, and vast global reach to the Middle
East, Europe, Americas and soon to Latin America. Tata Communications
MPLS reach spans over 65 countries and with Extended Access Service,
a service that includes broadband access and IPSec integration, this
global reach expands to over 150 countries.

As Asia emerges as a world leader in high growth industry sectors
such as manufacturing, telecommunications, and tourism, enterprises
need to seamlessly communicate and collaborate with geographically
dispersed employees, customers and partners. Tata Communications has
a comprehensive Global VPN Services portfolio that provides customers
flexible solutions to meet their diverse needs. These services
include flexible access options, a wide range of port speeds, and
traffic prioritization through multiple classes of service. The
customer can choose from a host of other networking solutions,
including Managed Security, Managed Hosting and Storage, and
TelePresence to avoid multiplicity of vendors for different network
needs.

"With these robust service offers and continued network expansion
into key emerging markets like Southeast Asia, Tata Communications is
emerging as a leading global provider customers can trust to provide
seamless solutions to meet their vast communications needs," said
Richard Knott, Vice President, Enterprise Sales and Managed Services
for Tata Communications.

Other significant initiatives in the Asia region include the
construction of the TGN-Intra Asia cable system that offers a unique
design, avoiding earthquake zones around Taiwan. This cable system is
provisioned to have direct link from Singapore to Japan and Hong
Kong; and provide inroads to new emerging markets such as Vietnam and
the Philippines. Once the system is operational, its express fiber
route between Singapore and Japan will offer solutions with the
lowest latency.
