LITTLETON, USA: tw telecom, a leading national provider of managed voice, Internet and data networking solutions for businesses, announced the expansion of its MPLS IP VPN service portfolio into 64 countries around the globe.

This added capability enables the company to connect a customer's voice, Internet and data traffic seamlessly, reliably and securely across town, across the country and now to international destinations.

"The global expansion of our MPLS IP VPN service portfolio extends our network reach to serve the international needs of our customers," said John Blount, tw telecom's Chief Operating Officer.

"These customers depend on the high-quality level of service we deliver over our robust metro fiber networks and national IP backbone to connect their buildings and data centers.

tw telecom offers five classes of services so customers are able to manage and prioritize their voice, video, enterprise applications, storage and Internet access across tw telecom's network to optimize the performance across the enterprise.

"Our strategy continues to focus on high quality network partners -- each with a unique focus and expertise in a geographic region -- to complement the strength of our MPLS IP VPN services in the United States," Blount said.

"Through these partners, we are able to improve the overall value and service for our customers and better manage their connectivity, while building out industry-leading, high-performance networks for them to run their mission critical applications. We're excited about the expanded market opportunity that is now open to us with this global reach."
