Tinet Teams With IP Networks

SAN FRANCISCO and MILAN -- IP Networks, Inc., (IPN) a highly scalable Ethernet-Over-Fiber solutions provider, announces today its selection of Tinet, a Neutral Tandem company (Nasdaq: TNDM) and a global carrier focused on the IP and Ethernet wholesale markets, to strategically market its network assets to the company’s worldwide carrier partners. IP Networks will utilize Tinet’s EtherCloudSM service in order to offer its customer base cost effective Ethernet services outside its footprint of 50-plus carrier partners without the need to set up External Network to Network Interfaces (E-NNIs) with each provider.

“Tinet, a leading global carrier and industry pioneer, is an ideal choice for IP Networks and for our customers’ network assets, particularly now that we gain access to Tinet’s groundbreaking EtherCloud service,” states Mark Brown, Director of Sales for IP Networks. “IP Networks operates the largest legacy-free, Ethernet access network in the San Francisco and Silicon Valley regions connecting enterprise buildings and data centers. With EtherCloud, IP Networks can now quickly and efficiently source, price, and order services through the dedicated EtherCloud portal, and actively monitor connectivity of the circuit, among other advantages.”
