Level 3 adds PoPs in Singapore

Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NYSE: LVLT) has opened a pair of new points-of-presence (PoPs) in Singapore. The PoPs are collocated within Equinix SG1 20 Ayer Rajah Crescent and Global Switch 2 Tai Seng Avenue.

The service provider says it opened the new facilities to meet growing local demand for enhanced network and cloud connectivity. The PoPs feature access to Level 3's global network and portfolio of Internet protocol (IP), virtual private network (VPN), content delivery network (CDN), broadcast (Vyvx), cloud, and collaboration services.

"Singapore is home to more than 7,000 multinational companies as well as the key telecom and data center hubs in the Asia-Pacific region," said Ricky Chau, vice president of the Asia Pacific Region for Level 3. "We are pleased to expand our presence in Singapore to help our multinational customers deliver high-performance applications between their data centers, leading cloud services such as AWS and Microsoft Azure, and other important business locations in Singapore and across the world over the Level 3 network."

Level 3 adds the new PoPs will offer their customers in Singapore multiple, secure ways to connect to their offices via cloud and data center services using the VPN technology that best fits their requirements. Options include MPLS/IP VPN, VPLS, and EVPL.
