Business Wire
Telstra Incorporated, a leading global provider of advanced
communications services to multinational corporations and service
providers (SPs), announced its Asia Express offering today to
automate and simplify the global bandwidth procurement process.
Asia Express is Telstra's indirect channel solution for
connectivity from the US to Hong Kong at aggressively-priced,
monthly flat rates with no term commitment. Bandwidths from E1 to
STM 4 international private lines are provided. Starting July 1,
Clear channel E1 to DS3 activation will take less than a week to
install. "This offering changes the rules and revolutionizes the
way that carriers are going to be able to procure connectivity into
Asia," said Arthur Weissman, Director, Channel Development, Telstra
Incorporated. "We are introducing a new business and service
delivery model that greatly simplifies the procurement process."
tel(x), the leading interconnection provider at 60 Hudson Street,
New York City, and Telstra have entered into an arrangement
allowing tel(x) customers to obtain a direct connection to Asia by
simply cross connecting to the tel(x) Brilliant Platform. This
service enables SPs the flexibility to enter into new relationships
and to offer the services that their customers require ranging from
voice services to global virtual LANs. "Asia Express provides the
streamlined transactions that carriers have been asking for while
saving them from the activation delays and lengthy negotiations
that plague today's global bandwidth marketplace," Weissman added.
"It gives them the flexibility they need to try out new business
relationships and new routes, or to manage risk on behalf of
enterprise customers. This is not just a PoP to PoP (point of
presence) solution. We can also provide connections directly to a
customer's premises in Asia, as well." "We are delighted to work
with Telstra, a trusted leader in the Asia Pacific region, on this
innovative offering," said Hunter Newby, Chief Strategy Officer of
tel(x). "Telstra offers one of the most easy -to- use bandwidth
procurement process available on the market today." "We are pleased
to offer this service in conjunction with tel(x) one of the premier
operators of telecom 'meet-me' interconnection facilities," said
Dan Kerth, President & CEO of Telstra Incorporated. "The
service will be offered using a direct cross-connect through
tel(x)'s Brilliant Platform and will benefit from the visibility
provided by the highly trafficked tel(x) facilities." About Telstra
