GlobalNet Deploys Interoperability Solution That Will Facilitate Expansion To New Markets
LOMBARD, Ill., Apr 17, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- GlobalNet, Inc. (Nasdaq: GBNE chart, msgs), a leading provider of international voice, data and Internet services over a private, managed Internet Protocol (IP) network, today announced that it is deploying a solution for connecting diverse IP networks that will facilitate expanding to new markets, provide increased flexibility in selecting affiliates and, ultimately, lead to lower costs.
"We have developed and tested this interoperability under 'real world' conditions and are confident it will facilitate expanding to new countries and broadening our options in choosing the affiliates we connect to," said Daniel M. Wickersham, president of GlobalNet.
"Changing from one type of network to another can cause deterioration in the quality and reliability of connections," Wickersham said. "Other carriers normally pass calls from one VoIP network to another through switching systems that require each network to utilize equipment from the same vendor. GlobalNet's ability to retain a call format as VoIP from end-to-end, regardless of the equipment used, will allow us to offer continuous quality service in new and expanding venues throughout the world."
