Reliance Globalcom marks eight years in Saudi Arabia

Reliance Globalcom, an Indian telecom service provider, has marked eight years of alliance with Saudi data service providers Integrated Telecom, a company statement said.
Under an arrangement inked in 2005, Reliance Globalcom is providing Integrated Telecom (ITC) with international bandwidth and connectivity services, it said.
"ITC operates two international cable landing stations in Saudi Arabia, one in Jeddah and another in al-Khobar, which are connected to Reliance Globalcom's international submarine cable network. Reliance Globalcom is ITC's main global connectivity provider," said Nadim Abouhamad, ITC's VP for Marketing.
In turn, Reliance Globalcom benefits from ITC's national fiber network bringing seamless connectivity services on its Falcon-Hawk and Falcon-FEA cable, catering to other operators and ITC clients in Saudi Arabia.

Through its alliance with Reliance Globalcom, ITC also aims to expand its offering with more services like IPLC, EPL, Global Ethernet, and MPLS based solutions, which will benefit from the reach of Reliance Globalcom's network and enable ITC to expand and develop its international network.
Reliance Globalcom provides global communication services to service providers, enterprises and consumers across the globe through its high performance and highly resilient global network.

As the owner of the FLAG and Falcon cables, which connect the GCC region to the rest of the world, Reliance Globalcom offers a highly successful bouquet of Wholesale services encompassing Transmission, Ethernet, MPLS, Global Voice, Collocation and Internet Solutions.

"Partnerships like the ones with Reliance Globalcom is an essential part of our long-term commitment to bring the latest connectivity services and strengthen our ability to grow globally," said Engr Georges Jaber, Vice-President of the international and wholesale services for ITC.
