BANGALORE: Tata Internet Services Ltd has announced the expansion of

its corporate services and products across the country. The Tata Internet

network is now present across 32 cities in India. This network will enable

corporate clients to avail of value-added services such as Virtual Private

Network (VPN), Hosting and Co-Location, Disaster Recovery Solutions, Dedicated

Internet Access and ISDN connections.

TISL launched its services in the five metros — Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai,

Bangalore and Hyderabad earlier this year.

TISL is leveraging the telecom initiatives of various Tata group companies

such as Tata Teleservices, Tata Power, Birla AT&T Tata — BPL, Tata

Finance, TCS, Telco and Tisco to help expand the service offerings to a greater

geographical coverage.

enable its clients to fulfill their connectivity needs at substantially lower

cost of ownership.

for upkeep and maintenance of last mile links. The network has ample redundancy

built in at every level.
