China Telecom Global has launched its SD-WAN service portfolio in partnership with Versa Networks. As part of China Telecom, CTG leverages the Group's cable and wireless assets, delivering connectivity to its customers with the possibility of establishing a hybrid network with MPLS VPN. In addition, CTG's SD-WAN service is designed to enable direct access to public cloud services such as Microsoft Azure and Amazon via backbone networks. The service will also be accessible via mobile devices. Using Versa's carrier-grade NFV software, CTG offers an on-the-go network diagnostics service to its customers who are now able to check the quality of its connectivity.
This service offering is now available and is expected to grow to over 30 global cloud gateways (PoPs) by year-end across Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. To date, nodes have been set up in Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Paris, Frankfurt, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and Mumbai. CTG will also extend the service coverage to major cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, using China Telecom's domestic resources.
