Tata Communications Expands VPN Service to Egypt

Tata Communications has announced the expansion of its VPN service to Egypt through a partnership agreement with TE Data, a subsidiary of Telecom Egypt.

Tata Communications and TE Data have interconnected its respective multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) infrastructures, setting up multiple, redundant network-to-network interconnection (NNI) points between the two companies connecting Tata Communications’ European and Indian network hubs with TE Data’s facilities in Egypt.

The NNI agreement allows Tata Communications to extend its current end-to-end service capabilities by incorporating the TE Data’s IP MPLS network footprint in Egypt, using more than 800 access points-of-presence.

Emad Alazhary, vice chairman and managing director of TE Data, said: “We are pleased to partner with Tata Communications to provide our customers with high-quality IP VPN solutions. The seamless integration of Tata Communications’ high performance MPLS network with TE Data’s extensive network coverage in Egypt will provide superior connectivity to India and to the world.”
