Global Crossing announced Friday it opened a new Point-of-Presence (PoP) facility in Monterrey, Mexico. The company plans to offer carrier and enterprise customers with direct access to its Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) IP-based network at this new location.



“Mexico continues to be a key market within our global strategy and we're pleased to expand our IP infrastructure in response to growing customer demand,” said Global Crossing’s chief executive officer John Legere in a statement. “Customers increasingly require bandwidth-intensive applications that require a highly advanced network, and this is exactly what Global Crossing's network was built for.”

The new PoP currently serves as Global Crossing's global interconnection center in Monterrey and is already serving customers. The company's other locations in Latin America include another facility in Mexico City and other locations across Central and South America. Global Crossing's IP-based services available from the new Monterrey PoP also include Private Line, International Private Line, high-speed Internet access, IP VPN, collaboration services, ATM and Frame Relay.

“This important investment in Monterrey allows us to give customers a competitive advantage by providing a global gateway to our secure, fiber-optic network from one of Mexico's most important business and industrial districts,” added Adrian Gonzalez, Global Crossing's managing director in Mexico. “We will continue to solidify our key position in this market by advancing Mexico's connectivity to the rest of the world.”

Global Crossing made news last week when it introduced VoIP Professional Services, which will extend an enhanced agreement the company has with Avaya (News - Alert).

The new set of services includes technical support, transition management and managed solutions. Common service bundles may include network readiness assessment and design, network integration and implementation, and managed VoIP PBX (News - Alert) services. Global Crossing's partnership with Avaya will also allow Global Crossing to resell Avaya's IP telephony applications, systems and services as part of a complete VoIP-based offering.
