GTS, a leading telecommunications operator and data center service provider in CEE, has established interconnection with ancotel’s Ethernet Virtual Platform, to help GTS to gain efficient access to the community of Global Ethernet Partners.

International Carriers will have now the additional opportunity to expand their Ethernet connectivity over Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in a simple and effective way.

“Over the last years GTS has vastly invested in its end-to-end homogeneous Ethernet platform across the CEE region. Geographic coverage is a competitive differentiator, and we remain focused on new ways to deliver Ethernet services to sites we cannot reach directly” said Bruce Garrison, VP and Head of International Services.

“Our decision to join ancotel?s Virtual Ethernet Platform follows interconnection with Equinix Carrier Ethernet Exchange in October this year and complements the existing E-NNI interconnections with our partners?.

“The ancotel's vmmr  (virtual meetme room) Ethernet services allows carriers and service providers to act competitively and remain flexible in the fast-growing market for Ethernet services” said K.-J. Orth, Managing Director ancotel.
