Global Crossing Launches IP VPN Service

May 26, 2003 -- (FIND VPN) -- Communications carrier Global Crossing (GlobalCrossing.com) announced on Thursday that it has introduced its Global Crossing IP VPN Service, designed to offer enterprises and carriers three classes of service and multiple access options.

Available in more than 300 cities in 52 countries through extended reach relationships, says Global Crossing, the service delivers on the company's vision of global any-to-any interconnectivity through Global Crossing's MPLS over DWDM technology.

"This service brings to fruition the promise of Global Crossing's worldwide IP network," said Global Crossing CEO John Legere. "The future of telecommunications is being built upon global IP-based network connectivity and applications converged into a single access point -- areas where Global Crossing is a clear leader."

Global Crossing says its IP VPN Service offers multiple classes of services and differentiated quality of service using MPLS directly over dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM). The service offers three classes of service, including basic, enhanced and premium, providing enterprises with considerable choice for the transmission of their data traffic based on application and traffic usage requirements.
