provider of network-dense, cloud-enabled data center solutions and
the CoreSite Mesh, today announced that BICS (Belgacom
International Carrier Services) has selected CoreSite's
One Wilshire data center campus in
Los Angeles for the expansion of
its global voice and mobile services footprint. BICS is a
subsidiary of Belgacom, the largest telecommunications company in
Belgium.
BICS' deployment will enable it to meet the demands of its
current customers and leverage CoreSite's Los Angeles community of over 275 networks to
expand its services to new partners across North America. CoreSite customers will benefit
from direct access to BICS' voice and mobile offerings.
"This is an important step for us in our continuing expansion
into the North America market. By
extending our footprint to CoreSite's One
Wilshire campus we are in a position to add reach and
redundancy to our already robust network in the United States. Having an increasingly
dense presence in our network will allow us to serve the growing
demands of our fixed, mobile and internet customers in this
region," said Brian Troesch, Vice
President & Managing Director for the Americas at BICS.
"We are continuously improving our network. In the USA, BICS had an existing presence. This
additional deployment on the West Coast is extremely strategic as
it will open up opportunities for connecting carriers from
Asia and providing stronger,
improved service for our customers in the USA," said Johan
Wouters, SVP Operations and Customer Services, BICS.
