Tata Communications, a leading provider of A New World of Communications, has recently announced that Ooredoo, Qatar, formerly known as Qtel, has launched the first Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX+) enabled network in the Middle East using Tata Communications’ IPX+ platform.
The implementation enables Ooredoo to capitalise on the latest technology innovations in mobile broadband service delivery and management.
"Ooredoo, Qatar has initially launched voice over IPX+ as the first application, gaining access to Tata Communications' broad community of IPX+ connected mobile destinations, and plans to consolidate its entire network to an IP-based backbone. Thanks to the scalability of Tata Communications' IPX+ platform, Ooredoo is able to rapidly support a full suite of services such as signalling, data roaming (GRX and IPX) and LTE Roaming."
"Global mobile data traffic is set to increase 13-fold between 2012 and 2017, reaching 11.2 exabytes per month by 20171. In line with this, mobile network operators are under pressure to address the delivery of data services beyond their networks. Tata Communications' IPX+ connectivity platform offers Ooredoo global reach, improved quality of service (QoS) and enables transition to all IP-based services, including 4G, more cost-effectively."
"Allan Chan, President of Global Carrier Services, Tata Communications, says, "We are seeing a huge demand for our IPX+ connectivity platform from mobile network operators looking to capitalise on the mobile data explosion, with more than 140 forward-looking operators in 40 countries adopting our service. Our work with Ooredoo demonstrates our commitment to bringing service providers state-of-the-art connectivity solutions around the world."
