Sprint Extends MPLS VPN Benefits Globally

Global enterprise IT managers are challenged with the often competing objectives of enabling new applications and connecting geographically dispersed users and facilities, all while lowering costs and boosting performance.

Sprint (www.sprint.com) launches its new MPLS VPN solution that makes possible for U.S.-based and other multinational corporations to provision global networks and consolidate wide-ranging applications onto a single, unified network.

Sprint is extending its standard MPLS VPN offering to over 100 countries in Europe, Asia and Latin America, providing a secure and highly scalable solution designed to support the convergence of voice, video and data onto one network-based IP VPN platform.

Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) virtual private network (VPN) technology combines the flexible connectivity and scalability of IP-based services with the security, privacy and quality traditionally associated with Frame Relay and ATM services.
