BROOMFIELD, Colo., January 20, 2010
Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NYSE:LVLT, news, filings) today announced that the company has received the ATLANTIC-ACM 2010 Global Wholesale Best in Class Award for Data Value. The award recognizes Level 3’s leadership in delivering data network services to meet the wholesale communications needs of global carriers. Level 3 was one of two companies to receive the award for data value in 2010.
“International wholesale carriers sent a strong message about the quality and value of the Level 3 data product portfolio,” said Fedor Smith, president of ATLANTIC-ACM. “Level 3 offers the services for carriers to efficiently and effectively extend their networks around the world.”
The award is based on the ATLANTIC-ACM 2010 Global Wholesale Report Card study, which compiles customer feedback via online surveys. Customers evaluate each carrier that they work with in a number of operational categories, and also rate voice and data products for both quality and price. The Data Value award is based on the combined average score for quality and price across all data products. Level 3 was recognized for a broad portfolio of data transit and transport services, including:
- IP Transit
- IP WAN
- High Capacity Transport
- Low Capacity Transport
- Ethernet Transport
“Level 3 delivers the right combination of network infrastructure and services to support the global communications needs of the wholesale market,” said Andrew Crouch, president of Wholesale Markets for Level 3. “The ATLANTIC-ACM Best in Class Award reinforces Level 3’s commitment to providing global carrier customers with the data network capabilities to meet the day-to-day demands of their wholesale business.”
ATLANTIC-ACM presented the Global Wholesale Best in Class awards on Jan. 20 at the Pacific Telecommunications Council conference in Honolulu, Hawaii.
