STOCKHOLM and DENVER, Nov. 3,
2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Telia Carrier announced today that
Limelight Networks (LLNW) has deployed its IP Transit
and Wavelength services in North
America and Europe. These
services will expand Limelight's global infrastructure, support
backbone traffic and enhance the end-user experience.
Given the sustained demand for digital content by end-users,
media, content and gaming companies continue to utilize CDN
providers to deliver high-quality internet services. CDNs connect a
vast distributed system of servers across the globe deployed in
facilities nearest the end-users, optimizing speed, performance and
latency, while minimizing delay. With Telia Carrier's global
footprint of high-speed services, these solutions provide
Limelight, a global leader in digital content delivery, with
high-performance capacity and connectivity to many internet peering
locations to meet increasing demands for bandwidth.
"Consumers today demand the highest quality online
experiences at any time, on any device, and from anywhere," said
Art Kazmierczak, director of
network and business development, Americas, at Telia Carrier,
Inc. "Limelight choosing Telia Carrier to deliver services to
meet these demands reflects our ability to turn up services quickly
and provide a resilient, global backbone at the highest speeds
available. We're committed to continually expanding, updating and
optimizing our network to keep pace with the increasing demand for
digital content."
Telia Carrier's global fiber backbone was built organically,
without acquisitions, and is the first to be 100G-enabled in both
Europe and North America. It is also the first network to
successfully transmit 1 Tb/s on its US network. According to Dyn
Research's global backbone rankings, AS1299, Telia Carrier's global
IP backbone is currently ranked top-two. Telia Carrier's rapid
growth and ascension through the rankings was recently highlighted
in Dyn's 'Baker's Dozen, 2015 edition' report. The company enables
worldwide connectivity by connecting more than 200 Points of
Presence (PoPs) across Europe,
North America, Asia, and the Middle
East including over 70 PoPs in North America alone.
