Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: Integrated Telecom Co. (ITC), a leading Saudi Telecommunication Company, today announced the launch of a new Point of Presence (PoP) in London, UK. The new PoP will enable carriers and operators to interconnect to the ITC network for international long haul Ethernet and IP VPN data services. The PoP expansion allows ITC's customers to effectively extend their reach globally and will enable the global carriers to quickly and easily connect their networks to the GCC region and broader Middle Eastern countries through ITC's global network. It will also allow ITC to serve the needs of its own enterprise customers globally.
The new Point of Presence gives local operators and carriers access to ITC's robust, reliable regional and global network at competitive pricing. This access is of critical importance as global companies reach out to the Saudi and neighboring countries' markets, such as Qatar, UAE, Jordan, Egypt and Bahrain. ITC's new London PoP will provide high quality voice, internet access, and value added services to operators and carriers in the region.
Eng. Ghassan Itani, CEO of ITC, said, "We continuously strive to invest in our infrastructure to make doing business easier and faster than ever for our global carrier customers across the US and Europe, and to better serve our own regional customers".
"The inauguration of our London PoP is a significant step towards our direction for building on our existing presence in the region. This will allow rapid, efficient and cost effective connection to the ITC network for operators worldwide to provide services to their customers in the GCC and Middle East.
Our London PoP offers our customers secure access, faster connections, direct international connectivity, and worldwide reach," said Mr. Amer Mowafi, Chief Commercial Office at ITC. "It also offers a number of voice, data and other value-added services, including IP transit, MPLS and IPLCs, making it a comprehensive solution for all of our customers' connectivity requirements. ITC's global expertise gives our customers the worldwide network they need to compete in a global market."
