Telstra International is a division of Telstra Corporation Limited, Australia’s leading telecommunications and media services company and owner of one of the most technologically advanced IP backbone networks in the world.
Telstra International Group Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Martijn Blanken, said, “Telstra operates one of the largest and most diverse networks in Asia Pacific. We chose Infinera because it has demonstrated leadership in technological innovation, offering the most reliable and technically advanced DWDM system on the market.
