Inteliquent – IQNT – and Telekom Malaysia Enter Into Strategic Ethernet NNI Alliance
Inteliquent (Nasdaq: IQNT), a leading provider of global interconnection and interoperability solutions, announces its strategic alliance with Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM), Malaysia’s leading new generation communications provider for the implementation of Inteliquent’s EtherCloudSM solution for TM.
Under the collaboration, TM will use IQNT’s EtherCloud solution to extend its Global Ethernet reach by leveraging on Inteliquent’s over 120 points of presence (PoP) worldwide, therefore significantly increasing the availability of TM’s Layer 2 Ethernet services to locations currently off-net; particularly in Europe and North America. Likewise, Inteliquent will leverage TM’s comprehensive coverage to fulfill growing demand for Ethernet in Malaysia and Asia Pacific. As a result, the agreement will expand both companies’ Ethernet services to high demand markets.
TM Global Ethernet is a flexible, reliable and secure bandwidth connectivity service over shared network resources. The services range from 1 Mbps to 1 Gbps and come with four different classes of service backed by service level agreements. This collaboration fulfills carriers’ demand based on Carrier-Class Ethernet technology. By leveraging each other’s resources and presence all over the globe, TM is better able to meet customer expectation. In addition, this initiative is hoped to provide innovative platforms to bring global technology closer to the local customers. Furthermore, the move will strengthen TM’s vision to become Malaysia’s leading new generation communications provider.
“As a leading communications provider in Malaysia, TM continues to explore more ways to fulfill our clients’ increasingly sophisticated requirements by venturing into strategic collaborations with esteemed partners. Through this alliance, not only are we able to serve nationally, but we are also embarking our Ethernet presence globally to further offer comprehensive solutions to Inteliquent and its respective clients,” states Rozaimy Abd Rahman, Executive Vice President, Global, TM.
