Global Crossing today announced that for the first time it has made its Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Outbound Service available to both enterprise and carrier customers in previously unserved parts of Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region, as well as in eight new European countries.

The company also has enhanced the service to offer intra-country dialing to enterprise customers in five more European countries. This expanded service availability and enhanced capability complement existing VoIP services in Europe and North America.

“Expanding our VoIP services globally gives customers more options as they move to a converged IP solution, and it allows them to benefit from the security, reliability and network coverage of Global Crossing’s high-quality IP network while working with a single, global account team,” said Anthony Christie, Global Crossing’s chief marketing officer. “As a leading global provider of VoIP services, Global Crossing is committed to continually expanding the geographic reach of our offerings to better serve the needs of our customers.”

In the Asia-Pacific and Latin American regions, Global Crossing has extended availability of VoIP Outbound Service to Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Hong Kong and Singapore. For the first time, both carrier and enterprise customers in those countries can enjoy the advantages of VoIP Outbound Service via Global Crossing’s private IP backbone network. The network ensures that VoIP packets receive the highest priority, which means voice calls are delivered with minimal latency, packet loss and jitter — a consistent and predictable call quality not possible with voice services based on public Internet transport.

In Europe, Global Crossing VoIP Outbound Service now is available in Austria, the Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Portugal and Slovakia. VoIP Outbound Service had already been available in Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, as well as in Canada and the United States.

Global Crossing offers a complete portfolio of VoIP services, including VoIP On-Net Plus(TM), VoIP Toll-Free and VoIP Local Services. This portfolio enables customers to implement IP convergence, maximize savings on overall telephony costs and reduce total cost of ownership. Global Crossing is a leader in fully interoperable, secure VoIP services for enterprise and carrier customers and supports several access methods to connect to its VoIP service portfolio. These include Global Crossing’s IP VPN service, Global Crossing Dedicated Internet Access and standard public Internet access.

Global Crossing continues to invest in its global VoIP infrastructure and recently has deployed a pair of Session Border Controllers (SBC) in Hong Kong to expand its VoIP services into Asia-Pacific markets. New SBC pairs also have been deployed in Washington, D.C., and Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to add more capacity to support the growth of VoIP traffic in these two regions.

Global Crossing was one of the first service providers to announce the replacement of legacy switches with VoIP switches in its network core, enhancing the seamless delivery of IP services. By the end of the second quarter of 2006, IP interconnected VoIP traffic increased to more than 300 million minutes per month, indicating the increase in IP originated and terminated traffic traversing Global Crossing’s global VoIP backbone. Global Crossing’s VoIP platform currently carries approximately 2.5 billion minutes per month — about 78 percent of all its voice traffic.
