BT in pact with Rostelecom for optimal network reach in Russia

Friday, 31 August 2012


BT on Thursday said that it is further improving its reach into Russia through a new network interconnection agreement with Rostelecom, Russia’s national telecommunications operator.
 
The agreement will significantly improve BT’s ability to serve its corporate customers across all regions of Russia with its BT Connect portfolio of intelligent network services. BT Connect underpins mission critical applications for leading enterprises from a variety of industry sectors, including financial services, manufacturing, logistics, pharmaceutical and oil & gas industries.

BT already serves around 400 large organisations in Russia, including many of the world’s leading global multinational companies with operations in the country. Many local and international financial service providers rely on BT’s network to connect to the BT Radianz Shared Market Infrastructure, the world’s largest cloud based platform serving the needs of the financial services sector.

Rostelecom operates a highly sophisticated network that spans the whole country. Its national network consists of approximately 500,000 km of backbone infrastructure, providing services to approximately 43 million residential and enterprise customers.
