Telstra signs NNI agreement with Tata Communications

Telstra has signed Network-to-Network Interconnection (NNI) agreement with Tata Communications to utilize Tata Communications’ 116 Points of Presence (PoPs), extending Telstra’s reach to tier-2 and tier-3 cities such as Jaipur, Surat and Trichy.

Bernadette Noujaim Baldwin, Telstra Global Enterprise & Services, Head of Connectivity and Platforms Portfolio, said “The new arrangement with Tata Communications was part of Telstra’s broader MPLS strategy, which includes NNIagreements in emerging markets that are of high value to customers and the expansion of its own on-net PoPs.”

Through the partnership, Telstra and Tata Communications have defined roles and responsibilities for the management of the NNI to ensure the seamless delivery and support for services in the region. By leveraging Tata Communications’ domestic infrastructure and global subsea fibre network, users will benefit from reduced latency and increased network availability, empowering them to rapidly access the business services they need.
