Verizon Business (News - Alert) has received government approval to directly deliver advanced communications services in Mexico. The approval will enable Verizon Business to better serve multinational companies with operations in Mexico.

 

The company had previously been delivering services through partnerships with local telecommunications providers.

 

"Mexico is a key location for many of our multinational customers, and this authorization gives us more local capabilities to support their strategic business needs. Verizon Business is focused on providing industry-leading services and capabilities to our customers around the world. We look forward to bringing our expertise to bear in Mexico as we expand our offerings and locally based operations," said Blair Crump, group president international and premier accounts, Verizon Business, in a statement.

 

Verizon Business, a unit of Verizon Communications, is a global IP player and network-based partner for delivering integrated communications and information technology (IT) solutions to large-business and government customers worldwide.

 

Combining reach with managed services, security, mobility, collaboration and professional services capabilities, Verizon Business delivers global solutions that power innovation and enable its customers to do business better.

 

A number of steps have already been taken by Verizon Business to more effectively serve the local needs of its multinational customer base.

 

A new operating company, Verizon Business Mexico, has been established, which will deliver a range of data and Internet protocol (IP) services, including Verizon Private IP, Verizon Internet Dedicated and managed network services.

 

Verizon Business is also in the final stages of deploying multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) nodes in Mexico City and Monterrey to support Private and Public IP services.

Mexico enhancements are only part of Verizon Business' investments in Latin America.

 

The company also recently completed an expansion of its Brazilian network capabilities by deploying Private IP, Public IP and Global Data Link nodes in Sao Paulo, and a Private IP node in Rio de Janeiro.

 

Meanwhile, Verizon Business has further enhanced its global Private IP footprint to support the evolving data needs of its global customer base.

 

The company continues to add a significant number of Private IP nodes in key growth territories around the world, and has also enhanced both DSL and Ethernet access capabilities.

As a result, more customers than ever can now benefit from a direct and secure, high-performance link to the Verizon Business global multiprotocol- label-switching (MPLS) network, the foundation for Verizon Business' portfolio of next-generation products and services.
