SINGAPORE:VSNL Singapore Pte Ltd. ("VSNL International"), the international arm of Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited operating in key global business hubs, introduces Dedicated Global Ethernet, its global Ethernet private line service connecting major cities throughout North America, Europe, Asia and an extensive footprint connecting 120 cities in India. Using a SDH/SONET platform to ensure low latency enables enterprises to extend their local area networks to support global video, voice and data transport and send point-to-point traffic between destinations across the world.

Dedicated Global Ethernet offers bandwidth between 2-1,000 Megabits per second with the flexibility to upgrade the bandwidth on an as-needed basis.

"Dedicated Global Ethernet from VSNL International provides the benefits of the Ethernet WAN to enterprises and carriers, but on a global scale."

"We are pleased that VSNL International is participating with MEF to help propagate standards-based wide area Ethernet both globally and also across the dynamically growing markets in India," says Nan Chen, President, Metro Ethernet Forum.
