TeliaSonera expands its IP network into Romania

TeliaSonera International Carrier has expanded its extensive international backbone further into Central & Eastern Europe by setting up a point of presence in Bucharest, Romania. Customers will benefit from the availability of high quality IP services and the ability to connect locally to Europe’s largest and fastest growing IP backbone.

“Further expansion into the Balkans and Eurasia will be strategically important if we are to fulfil our ambition and become one of the three largest global IP carriers” says Malin Frenning Senior Vice President of TeliaSonera and Head of TeliaSonera International Carrier. ”Our expansion into Romania is a tangible sign of our belief in the local market, and Central & Eastern Europe as a whole”. Last year, TeliaSonera International Carrier opened a point of presence in Sofia, Bulgaria, and continue to explore further possible expansions in the Central & Eastern European region. Romania with a population of 21 million is one of the region’s fastest growing industrial centres and transportation hubs. The need for IP solutions is increasing as a result of increased Internet usage. TeliaSonera International Carrier is a global provider of cross-border communication services. Through intelligent use of our wholly-owned network and high-quality technology, we deliver a wide range of IP, capacity and voice services. We also provide the media, education and online gaming industries with services tailored to their specific needs. We own and operate more than 43,000 kilometers (27,000 miles) of fiber network, which covers more than 100 points of presence in 35 countries across Europe, the US and Asia. We are a leading global IP provider and the number one carrier in Europe. For more information, visit www.teliasoneraic.com.
