Sprint Selects IXcellerate for Point of Presence in Russia
MOSCOW, August 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Global Carrier enhances international network coverage in Moscow to meet
growing demand from Russian market
IXcellerate, Moscow's premier carrier neutral datacentre operator, today announced
that Sprint, a global provider of wireless and wireline communications services, has
expanded its wireline network to include a Point of Presence (PoP) in IXcellerate's Moscow
One Datacenter. Sprint is enhancing the reach of its international network to provide its
global customers with close proximity and optimal connectivity to IXcellerate's clients
and partners in Moscow, Russia.
Organizations that require global coverage, low jitter and a congestion free
environment rely on Sprint's international network as a foundation to connect their
software and 'as a service' applications seamlessly around the world.
As part of an ongoing expansion of its core network backbone, Sprint chose
IXcellerate's Moscow One Datacentre to access its unique community of carriers and ISPs,
and create new business opportunities for multi-national customers looking to expand
further into Russia. IXcellerate's facilities located within the MKAD ring road of Moscow
are the ideal match for Sprint, enabling the company to provide its customers robust,
resilient services, while also offering the opportunity to interconnect with other
carriers and capacity providers.

Capacity provider and its commitment to grow with IXcellerate demonstrates the strong
returns our datacentre facilities continue to provide. Sprint is the most recent carrier
to join our growing community of telecommunications customers in the Moscow One
