“As long as I have been in the region, Level 3 has been the gold standard for wholesale and enterprise services,” said Wally Swain, Yankee Group’s senior vice president of Network Research. “Their portfolio goes way beyond transport. Their enterprise portfolio is very wide and competes well with the rest of the big names. Their wholesale portfolio includes IP VPN, VoIP, Ethernet and colocation, going well beyond just raw connectivity. Growth is steady and they are expanding their data center facilities quickly. They serve a stable of high-profile customers. To me they are the best at this game in this region.”
Prior to its acquisition by Level 3, Global Crossing won this award in 2008 and 2009.
“We are delighted to be honored with this important award again this year, and we are gratified to be recognized as the reliable choice for connectivity throughout Latin America,” said Gabriel Holgado, Level 3’s senior vice president of Carrier Sales, Latin America. “As service providers’ business models shift to support Internet applications, Level 3 is committed to providing superior solutions that enable providers to deliver a high quality of service to their retail and enterprise customers.”
