FLAG Telecom Supplies GigE Circuit for Yahoo! Korea

Yahoo! Korea selected FLAG Telecom to provide trans-continental connectivity and intra-Asia advanced services across the FLAG Telecom global network. As part of the project, FLAG configured its Global Ethernet Service to optimize high speed access to international content via servers on both continents. User authentication was configured as a point to point service, traversing FLAG's wholly owned backbone network via a dedicated, secure Gigabit circuit. FLAG Telecom said this configuration enables authentication to be conducted in seconds. Customers are not aware that authentication is taking place on another continent and do not suffer any unnecessary delay in accessing their accounts and other Yahoo! services.



FLAG's IP network benefits from a single AS number and sits on FLAG's self-managed global backbone,http://www.flagtelecom.com
