LONDON (Alliance News) - Vodafone Group PLC said Wednesday that it plans to expand its high-speed network connections for enterprise customers in the Americas.
It said it will increase its number of "points of presence" available to customers in the US, Canada and South America by threefold. It will establish 21 points of presence in North America, 12 in South America and Latin America.
A "point of presence" is an access point from one place to the rest of the internet.
Vodafone said that its global multi-protocol label switching enabled network will ultimately connect 212 of these access points across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas. Following on from the Americas it will connect over 67 countries direct over the coming months, than more via partner networks.
"We're putting the very best next-generation infrastructure where our customers need it and investing for the future by giving businesses access to the world's most expansive network by depth and reach," said Enterprise President of the Americas Chuck Pol in a statement.
Shares in Vodafone were trading up 0.4% at 205.24 pence Wednesday afternoon.
