NEW YORK – Verizon has further expanded its Private IP capabilities into 10 additional countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific regions, now reaching more than 150 countries and territories.
Expansion in these emerging markets will give Verizon business customers additional access to Private IP Multiprotocol Private Label Switching (MPLS) services in the following locations: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, Nepal, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, Madagascar, Mauritius and Tunisia.
In addition, Verizon is helping meet customer demand for additional routes by adding another location in Chennai, India, and another one in Johannesburg, South Africa. Customers with business in those countries now can take advantage of these new diverse routes, which provide additional access to MPLS services while increasing the benefits of resiliency and extended reach.

Expanding Private IP service to the 10 countries will aid Verizon customers that are establishing new locations or expanding their business operations in the high-growth regions of Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
