Nov 03, 2009 (CORPORATE IT UPDATE via COMTEX News Network) -- US communications holding company AT&T (NYSE:T) announced on Tuesday it
has extended its network through a new node in the Middle East.
The company said the new node in Kuwait City has been deployed in
cooperation with Qualitynet, a local provider of data communication,
Internet and networking services in Kuwait, and NavLink, a company in
which AT&T is a minority shareholder. No financial details were
disclosed.
As part of the agreement among the three companies, Qualitynet and
NavLink are hosting the global network node, allowing AT&T and
Qualitynet to offer Virtual Private Network (VPN) services to local
Kuwaiti customers seeking global connectivity and existing
multinational customers of AT&T seeking to extend their presence and
reach in the Middle East.
The node allows Qualitynet to offer network-based IP VPN solutions
provided via Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) standards over the
AT&T global network, which provides IP-enabled, application-aware,
managed VPN services.
