Orange Business Services tops mid-year Global Provider Leaderboard for Business Ethernet services
Paris, Sept. 22, 2011
with market-leading, end-to-end managed Business Ethernet services in 62 countries
Orange Business Services is the leading global provider of Business Ethernet Services for the fourth consecutive time, according to Vertical Systems Group’s latest Global Provider Ethernet Leaderboard. The biannual Leaderboard ranks service providers that hold a four percent or greater share of the total market for retail Ethernet ports installed outside the providers’ respective home countries.
Orange Business Services offers International Ethernet Link, its Ethernet offer for large MNC customers in 40 countries, and Ethernet access to IP-based VPN is available in 62 countries.
International Ethernet Link offers four classes of service designed to prioritize different data streams: voice, standard data, critical data and real-time video. As a result, critical applications, or those requiring real-time performance such as video, are prioritized.
France Telecom Orange continues investing in Ethernet with a goal of providing speeds from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps for Ethernet access worldwide at strategic customer sites. During the first half of 2011, Orange Business Services added more than 1,100 Ethernet connections, an increase of more than 20 percent.
"Orange Business Services retained the top position on the mid-2011 Global Provider Leaderboard by delivering higher speed Ethernet connectivity to IP VPN customer sites across its extensive global Ethernet footprint," said Rick Malone, principal at Vertical Systems Group.
“Very high broadband is a key growth area for Orange Business Services and part of our conquests 2015 corporate strategy,” said Nicolas Roy, head of the Network Solutions Business Unit, Orange Business Services. “As the leading global provider of Ethernet Services, Orange Business Services continues to enhance our offer in order to meet our customers’ evolving needs. For example, we offer multiservice Ethernet access through the Integrated Access option to our International Ethernet Link customers. Integrated Access allows companies to optimize network access costs and complete their architecture with hybrid solutions.”
