'Rostelecom connects European points of presence'

Russian long-distance acrrier Rostelecom has deployed a high-speed ring structure connecting its European points of presence in Amsterdam, London and Frankfurt. Rostelecom connected access points in these cities to the company network using high-performance routers and the new optical fibre communication channel with a capacity of 20 Gbps. The Russian operator's partners on the project are Danish operator TDC and Finland's Elisa. The expansion of the international network infrastructure provides Rostelecom with a wide geographical coverage and increased reliability as well as service backup for communication links with the networks of international operators. For further development of the international segment of the company's IP/MPLS network, Rostelecom plans to expand cooperation with foreign operators, including through international traffic exchange points.
