Global One Is First International Service Provider to Offer End-to-End ATM Service in Singapore SINGAPORE, Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Global One, the international joint venture of Deutsche Telekom, France Telecom and Sprint, today reached an agreement with Singapore Telecom (SingTel) to offer Global ATM solutions in Singapore. This agreement distinguishes Global One as the first international carrier to provide end-to-end ATM services to the fast-growing Singapore market. ``We are delighted with this opportunity to team up with SingTel in offering multinational business customers flexibility and cost-savings through providing Global ATM solutions on an end-to-end basis,' said Johnny Murray, Global One Managing Director for ASEAN. ``With the increase of MNCs establishing regional hubs in Singapore, this collaborative effort between Global One and SingTel will provide seamless, end-to-end business communications solutions to meet their requirements.' ``Global service providers choose SingTel because of our advanced, reliable and proven network and support services. For many, Singapore is also their hub within Asia to serve customers in the region,' said Lim Shyong, SingTel's Executive Vice President of Global Business. ``The business arrangement with Global One allows us to offer and support a full range of seamless global services which our customers can choose from and tailor to meet their telecommunications needs.' The Global One ATM backbone network is currently the world's most far-reaching ATM-based network, deployed in more than 800 cities in over 40 countries. Monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, leading-edge network automation systems provide around-the-clock automated fault protection. The network carries out automated pro-active monitoring, automated testing and diagnosis, and automated corrective actions. These features are backed up by the support organizations of Deutsche Telekom, France Telecom, Sprint, and Global One, respectively. Their seamless backoffice capability includes order entry, provisioning, billing and 24-by-7 customer support. Global ATM has the capacity to operate at extremely high switching speeds of up to 155 Mbps rates. Lower speeds, starting from T-1 (1.544 Mbps) can be tailored to specific customer needs. It delivers high-speed bandwidth on demand and virtual networking. Two Global ATM categories of service provide efficient, cost-effective support of both time-sensitive and time-insensitive applications over the same network. The CBR (Constant Bit Rate) category of service supports applications such as voice and private line applications, which require tight timing and fixed bandwidth, while the VBR-nrt (Variable Bit Rate -- non-real time) category of service supports ``bursty' applications, such as LAN interconnections. Global One provides customized service level agreements (SLAs) to customers of Global ATM, including clear commitments to service availability, repair times, transit delays, cell loss ratio, and cell delay variation. Global One offers a single source for the provision of seamless voice, data and IP services for businesses, carriers and consumers around the world. Set up as a worldwide joint venture of Deutsche Telekom, France Telecom, and Sprint, Global One is a fully integrated company in its own right, with over 1,400 network access centers in more than 65 countries. Global One offers the world's most far-reaching ATM-based network and in 1998 had revenues of more than US$ 1.1 billion.
