Telstra International, a global arm of telecom and technology company Telstra, is extending its network capabilities into Latin America with the establishment of a dedicated point-of-presence (PoP) at Stemmons Towers in Dallas, Texas. This comes in addition to new collaborations with Mexican telecommunications providers Axtel and Vivaro.
Telstra International will focus its initial expansion efforts on Mexico; the new PoP will serve as a critical gateway for internet and IP traffic to and from the region. This will allow enterprise and wholesale customers worldwide to more easily integrate into Telstra’s expansive connectivity network, enhancing their global reach and accessibility. The strategic location will also allow Mexican multinational corporations seeking to connect to other regions to plug into the network to reach Asia-Pacific and Europe, with APAC multinationals now able to reach Mexico through the same gateway.
Telstra International’s expansion, it noted, is driven by the increasing demand for connectivity solutions in the region.
Throughout Mexico, Telstra International now offers global internet, IP transit and VPNs. Telstra International also provides access to more than 10 carrier-neutral data centers in cities such as Mexico City, Monterrey, Queretaro and Guadalajara, and delivers endpoint termination services for ethernet private lines and MPLS in all of Mexico’s major data centers, enterprise buildings and business parks. These network enhancements facilitate low-latency connectivity into the Mexican Stock Exchange as well, which is important for serving customers in the financial services industry, a key growth area for Telstra globally.
“We’re focused on Latin America as a key growth market as we expect to see increased demand for connectivity from enterprises, hyperscalers and wholesale customers between APAC and the region driven by a technology boom and growing economies,” said Telstra International CEO, Roary Stasko. “Our official expansion and continued investments in digital infrastructure position us well to offer customers simple and secure options to connect to this dynamic region and leverage our global network.”
“Looking ahead, Telstra International will continue to innovate on our network infrastructure through additional PoPs and collaborate with our industry partners to provide critical connectivity and capacity to more Latin American countries such as Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Colombia,” he added.
