R-Globalcom gets order from Australian firm

Reliance Globalcom, the international arm of telecom and Internet arm of Reliance Communications, has bagged a multi-year contract from British optical retailer Specsavers for its enterprise solution.

Under the deal, Reliance Globalcom will supply its enterprise solution for connecting 1,150 worldwide retail outlets of the retailer. The deal covers 10 countries across Europe, Australia and New Zealand, sources close to the development said.

However, the financial details of the deal could not be ascertained.

This is an extension of a five-year agreement signed between Specsavers and Reliance Globalcom in February 2008. Reliance Globalcom will provide end-to-end connectivity using a public Internet Protocol network using combination of wireless technologies.

Additionally, Reliance Globalcom will design, implement and manage a significant extension of retailer’s Wide Area Network (WAN).  

Earlier this week, the company bagged multi-year contracts from three global retailers - Italian coffee brand Illy Café, French sports goods retailer Oxylane Group and kid’s clothing chain Orchestra (also French) - for its enterprise solution.
