India's Data Access Plans Aggressive VoIP Network Expansion

Data Access, Ltd., one of India's leading long distance carriers, plans to purchase $8 million in VocalTec equipment and related services over the next 15 months as part of a major VoIP network expansion. Data Access' planned expansion will support up to 20 million minutes per day, a significant increase from the network's current capacity of four million minutes per day. Data Access has a total of eight switch centers and network operating centers (NOCs) -- five located within India with overseas centers in New York, London, and Hong Kong. The company has an additional 20 points of interconnect (POI) to link to other carrier networks. Data Access is presently using VocalTec's packet tandem switching platform to carry approximately 3.5 million minutes per day of ILD traffic, representing an estimated 30% share of total international long distance call traffic in India.
