Singtel, Bharti Airtel team up to roll out high-speed virtual private network in 300 cities

This will be among the largest global IP VPNs.

Singtel has joined forces with Bharti Airtel to deliver high-speed, secure data network coverage to corporations in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and the US.

The two telcos have combined resources into one network to provide high speed data connectivity to 325 cities across the world.

The combined network will have 370 Points of Presence and will form one of the largest Internet Protocol Virtual Private Networks (IP VPN) globally.

Under this global network, multinational corporations can maintain line of sight of their operations across different regions by using high-bandwidth business applications such as cloud applications, unified communications, video conferencing and software-defined networking solutions.

“We believe joining forces this way makes total sense. By tapping on one another’s infrastructure assets we enhance each other’s capabilities. With its wide coverage of cities in India, this network paves the way for our international customers to enter into one of the world’s most vibrant economies. Conversely, this partnership also opens the door for Indian companies to expand abroad, supported by Singtel’s high quality IP VPN network in major business cities in Asia, Europe and the US,” said Lim Seng Kong, Managing Director of Global Enterprise Business at Singtel Group Enterprise.
