Verizon extends ‘Private IP’ service to Africa, Middle East

US giant Verizon Communications has announced that it has expanded its global enterprise network platform, enabling multinational corporations to take advantage of its ‘Private IP’ service in six additional African countries, as well as Bahrain and Qatar in the Middle East. Through a combination of its own global multiprotocol label switching network (MPLS) network and its infrastructure alliance provider Vodacom Business in Africa, Verizon enterprise customers will now be able to access Private IP services in four key African markets: Gabon; Djibouti and Ethiopia on the Horn of Africa; Malawi and Zimbabwe in Eastern Africa; and Swaziland in the south. The expansion will make it possible for Verizon customers with operations in these emerging markets to more effectively exchange data and global business applications, and employ the company's managed network and security solutions
