Telstra to open POP in Trichy

The NNI will utilise Tata Communications’ 116 points of presence (PoPs), extending Telstra’s reach to tier-2 and tier-3 cities such as Jaipur, Surat and Trichy.

Today’s announcement strengthens Telstra’s position of operating one of the most scalable networks across the globe, facilitating access to more than 2,000 PoPs in 230 countries and territories, a company release said.

“The new arrangement with Tata Communications was part of Telstra’s broader MPLS strategy, which includes NNI agreements in emerging markets that are of high value to customers and the expansion of its own on-net PoPs,” Telstra Global Enterprise & Services, head of connectivity and platforms portfolio, Bernadette Noujaim Baldwin said.
