LONDON, UK: Telecommunications giant Tata Communications today announced that it has received the 'Best Global Wholesale Offering Award' from Capacity magazine.

This accolade from Capacity magazine, a publication for telecommunications carriers and service providers, testifies to Tata Communications’ leadership in the development and implementation of its wholesale strategy, it said in a press release.

The awards were announced on November 23 at the Capacity Europe 2009 event in Amsterdam, at a reception attended by over 400 senior industry executives.

“Tata Communications impressed in all the judging categories for the award from its solutions approach, quality and performance of the network, reach, speed to market, pricing strategy as well as investment in their network,” said Matthew Whalley, editor of Capacity magazine.

Tata Comm said its wholesale business services more than 1,600 carrier customers, 480 direct connect relationships, 785 mobile operators and 700 VoIP providers with a wide portfolio of innovative solutions to address the specific needs of each segment of our industry − mobile operators, broadband providers, new portal players, retail service providers and wholesale carriers worldwide.
