Orange Business Services announced that it plans to increase the capacity of its Latin American network by 10 times due to growing demand from its multinational enterprise customers. Implementation is expected to begin in October and will cover Brazil and Chile, followed by Argentina, Peru and Panama. According to the vendor, the upgraded network will accommodate customers’ needs for expanding high-speed broadband services, including MPLS (IP VPN and business VPN), international Ethernet links and video services, such as telepresence.

The new network ring will connect Latin America to the East Coast of the United States via Brazil and to the West Coast of the United States via Chile (through Peru and Panama). The upgrade will enhance the quality of service for customers with improved latency to the West Coast, while also supporting the growing capacity requirements from Asia-Pacific, said the company.

Latin America has been a key growth market for Orange Business Services. As part of the company’s 2015 growth strategy, Orange Business Services aims to generate revenues of €1 billion in emerging markets in 2015.

Orange Business Services has 122 points of presence across 31 countries in Latin America, with more than 650 employees and one of four global Major Service Centers based in Brazil.
