Telekom Malaysia, a leading telecommunications service provider in Malaysia, has selected Level 3 Communications, to provide Internet localization services to its enterprise and consumer customers. This will enable TM to locally cache high-demand content on its network to enhance Internet connectivity, network efficiency, reliability and security. The internet localization ensures that high-demand, bandwidth-intensive content, such as high-definition video, is readily accessible online.
As an extension of its high-speed Internet services, Level 3's Internet Localization service combines the company's content delivery network (CDN) with deep edge caching and high-speed IP to efficiently route traffic on TM's network.
"The rapidly increasing consumption of high-bandwidth content is changing the Internet landscape and altering the way communications providers configure and manage their network infrastructure," said Gary Breauninger, Level 3's group vice president of Strategic Enterprise and Wholesale Sales. "By leveraging the global reach of the Level 3 network to deliver content closer to high-demand population centers, we are able to dramatically improve content access and provide a richer Internet experience."
"Malaysia is a growing market, and our customers are increasingly demanding high-performing Internet services to support both business and personal needs. As such, working with Level 3 will definitely help to enhance TM's customers' surfing experience and also provide a cost-saving prospect by reducing TM's usage of international capacity," said Rozaimy Rahman, executive vice president, Global & Wholesale, TM.
