Inter-Provider MPLS Connectivity Multiple Classes of Service (CoS)
and Seamless Service Level Agreements (SLAs) Now Available in Major

and Africa RESTON, Va., Dec. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- BtNAccess, a global
network solutions provider, announced today that it has implemented
inter-provider Multi- Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) connectivity
with 15 partner networks for seamless, end-to-end VPN connectivity
to 35 countries. BtNAccess is one of the industry leaders in
inter-provider MPLS connectivity with standard based implementation
for assured network interoperability. The company's MPLS network is
interconnected with partner networks in North and South America,
Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. "The BtNAccess partnership
approach allows carriers, service providers and partners to
leverage the BtNAccess network, as well as its partners' network,
to offer seamless global VPN solutions to generate new revenue
streams, achieve savings and expand their MPLS-based service
portfolio to compete in a broader telecommunication market
encompassing ATM and Frame Relay," said Braham Singh, chief
operating officer, BtNAccess. "Enterprise customers also benefit
from this model as it offers highly scalable solutions with common
end-to-end SLA, network management and customer level performance
measurements." The MPLS VPN Service operates over the BtNAccess
Multi-Service IP Port. Unlike traditional legacy networks where the
"one port -- one product" rule prevails, the BtNAccess
Multi-Service IP Port provides carriers, partners, service
providers and enterprises with the ability to access multiple
products including dedicated Internet access, IP Centrex, MPLS VPN
and Virtual Circuit through a single port. "Our partnership model
enables carriers and service providers to offer the latest IP-based
global data connectivity beyond their geographic footprint without
the capex and operating cost associated with network build outs,"
said Andre Choo, director of product management. BtNAccess began
offering MPLS-based services in North America, Western Europe and
Asia Pacific in January 2002. Today, the BtNAccess MPLS network
coverage spans 35 countries through partner interconnect
arrangements with leading MPLS network providers throughout the
