TelePacific Communications Signs Longterm Contract With AT&T

AT&T has said that TelePacific Communications, a provider of business telecommunications network solutions, has signed long-term wholesale contracts with the AT&T local telephone companies and AT&T's long distance affiliate that will enable TelePacific to expand its operations within California and Nevada.

Under the five-year contracts, which are worth USD 180 million, AT&T will provide TelePacific with wholesale long distance voice services and special access services for DS1 and DS3 transport.

AT&T Wholesale solutions enable carriers to offer a complete range of services, including traditional voice and data services and innovative value-added IP services to their customers. TelePacific benefits from using AT&T Network Connection (ANC), the flagship voice platform backed by the quality, reliability and reach of the AT&T global network. The ANC platform provides high-volume unbranded transport and termination access of long distance voice traffic, the company said.

"Since 2003, our relationship with AT&T Wholesale has been a critical part of our growth and success in the industry," said Dick Jalkut, president and CEO of TelePacific.
