RSL COM Finland Oy
NEW YORK and HAMILTON, Bermuda, Jan. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- RSL
Communications, Ltd. (Nasdaq: RSLC) announced that it is now providing
broadband access for voice and data using DSL (Digital Subscriber Line)
technology. Finland is the first European country where RSL COM is providing
this service. Having already signed up over 100 business customers to the
service in the Helsinki area, RSL COM intends to rollout DSL services through
its remaining European subsidiaries as regulatory conditions allow.
"DSL and wireless local loop are our first moves to a last mile solution.
We have implemented DSL successfully in Finland and are looking to expand this
service to other countries," said Itzhak Fisher, President and Chief Executive
Officer of RSL Communications Limited. "Our customers look to us to be an
integrated service provider and DSL is one of the key components they
require."
"Finland is very advanced in terms of acceptance of new technologies,"
said Tuomo Kiesvaara, Managing Director of RSL COM Finland Oy. "DSL allows us
to provide small and medium sized enterprises with a one-stop end-to-end
solution for voice, data and Internet traffic, from one provider."
Last year RSL COM completed construction of a fiber ring around Helsinki,
which provides the backbone for the DSL service. The new service is part of
RSL COM's ongoing efforts to provide total communications solutions for
customers and will be sold alongside ISDN and frame relay services.
