Private Network Services Support Enterprise Business Growth in the Greater Mekong Subregion
HONG KONG, February 26, 2014 – Pacnet, a leading provider of integrated technology solutions in the Asia-Pacific region, today announced the expansion of its MPLS based Global IP VPN services into the Greater Mekong Subregion, including an area encompassing Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar.
Expected economic annual growth averaging 7.9 percent through to 2030[1], and active government promotion encouraging foreign investment have resulted in increasing demand for networking services in the region. Pacnet’s service expansion will provide organizations looking to capitalize on this potential with the assurance of a secure, extensive private network that can reduce network management complexity, while enhancing operational efficiency and performance.
“The Greater Mekong Subregion is an exciting area of economic growth for Asia-Pacific. A growing number of companies are seeking to establish a footprint within this region. But before they do so, they need to know that the appropriate infrastructure and services are there to assist them. One of the most critical services for any business today is a reliable and secure communications network,” said Sanjay Nayak, Vice President of Product Strategy, Pacnet. “Integrating these additional locations with our region’s largest subsea cable infrastructure, we can offer a true path towards network convergence to address the growing network demand of our customers and support their business expansion.”
