Tata Communications named Best Wholesale Carrier at World Communications Awards 2013

Tata Communications, a leading provider of A New World of Communications™, has won the Best Wholesale Carrier Award at the 2013 World Communications Awards - held in London last night. The awards, now in its 15th year, recognises the organisations responsible for the innovations that are shaping the industry today and in the future.

Tata Communications was recognised for its breadth of wholesale offerings, which enable service providers to address their core business challenges including service reach and interoperability, end-user experience, efficient capital allocation and technology transformation. Over the past year, Tata Communications has focussed on innovation - expanding its portfolio with additional managed services that allow customers to run their businesses more efficiently and to generate new sources of revenue. Two flagship solutions that were launched this year include Voice Business Apps, a suite of Capex-free tools that customers can tap into to manage their international voice business, and Hosted Policy Engine, the world’s first cloud-based policy management solution enabling mobile network operators (MNOs) to create differentiated mobile data services quickly and with significantly less capital investment.

Michel Guyot, President Global Voice Solutions, Tata Communications, says, “Leveraging our global scale and commitment to developing and delivering cutting-edge services, Tata Communications is not just leading the wholesale market, but transforming it. We are giving our customers the ability to deliver the next-generation of IP communications services. This award not only recognises this, but also showcases the way that our unique partnership approach fuels mutual growth.”

Tata Communications continues to maintain its position as the number one international wholesale provider, delivering 53 billion minutes of voice traffic per year. It is also the world’s leading signalling provider, supported by the world’s only wholly-owned sub-sea fibre ring that circumvents the globe. Spanning five continents, its Tier 1 IP network is the fastest growing in the world, and the 5th largest globally.
