Vodafone announced today a more than threefold increase in the

Europe, Asia, Africa, Middle East and the Americas. This expansion
will complement Vodafone-operated fixed and mobile networks in 17
countries, creating the most expansive global MPLS network by both
reach and depth in the industry.
Vodafone will establish an additional 21 PoPs in North America
and 12 in South America and Latin America, each of which will be in
locations close to Vodafone's major enterprise customer sites,
high-density populations and data centre locations. Over the coming
months, Vodafone will connect more than 67 countries directly,
rising to more than 150 countries via partner networks.
Vodafone's fully managed network is designed to meet the demands
of complex multinational businesses, using a range of technologies
from IP-VPN, global ethernet to secure internet access to connect
locations and employees. Vodafone's application-aware
next-generation networks carry a full range of IP-based data, video
and voice services to support organisations' transition to unified
communications and cloud computing.
Vodafone Global Enterprise President of the Americas region,

infrastructure where our customers need it and investing for the
future by giving businesses access to the world's most expansive
network by depth and reach. For the first time, multinational
customers in the Americas region can benefit from global end-to-end
services supplied by a single supplier."
