Release of 19.07.2021
A1 Telekom Austria Group announced that it has enhanced its international footprint to Turkey by establishing the fastest route, offering a range between 2Mbit to 100Gbit, with up to 200Gbit soon coming up. Due to the direct crossing through Austria via Salzburg and the Karawanken tunnel, A1 Group is providing the shortest route from Frankfurt to Turkey, with two more redundant routes as backup.
International Carrier Ethernet as well as capacity services enable the efficient interconnection of multiple company locations or Data Centers. This means that multinational corporations are able to interconnect their business premises across different countries with flexible scalable bandwidths. Carriers and OTTs can connect to Data Centers along the route with a minimum of round trip delay. Especially the increasing demand for streaming and gaming is to be covered professionally by short latencies and runtimes.
"Over the past few years, the Wholesale business unit of A1 Telekom Austria Group Wholesale has developed into a Pan-European carrier. I'm therefore particularly delighted to be able to announce the enhancement of this very important routing. By enabling this route, we further lay the foundation of global connections for our customers. Numerous global carriers and OTTs already trust this new speedy service", said Franz Bader, Director Wholesale at A1 Telekom Austria Group.
The route is of high strategic importance and ensures rapid, smooth and simplified interconnections. As a result, globally operating carriers can now reach Turkey-based corporate locations in a more rapid and efficient manner.
Customers can now profit beside of DWDM capacity services from the Telekom Austria Group's high-quality Ethernet product portfolio, which fulfills the high quality standards of the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF). The company was the first carrier in Central and Eastern Europe to achieve MEF CE2.0 certification, with two of the three service classes E-Line, E-LAN und E-Access being subject to thorough scrutiny.
