Vanco MPLS Matrix

The Australian Telecommunications Users Group (ATUG) has named Vanco Australasia’s MPLS Matrix™ as the service that has contributed the most to the development of the communications industry and to the business sector in Australia in 2008.  The award, for Innovation in Communications,  was presented at the 2008 ATUG award ceremony, in recognition of positive impact on both industry competition and growth in the Australian market that the Vanco offering enabled in the year 2007.

Vanco’s MPLS Matrix™ is a landmark global offering which enables, for the first time, multi-carrier networks (based on the Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) standard) to be managed as a single entity. It allows Vanco to provide its customers with total market coverage in Australia and New Zealand in addition to access to 165 countries worldwide.

Vanco allow customers to ‘mix and match’ best of breed MPLS network suppliers with fully consistent  end-to-end service guarantees across the entirety of the network regardless of geographical location or underlying service provider.  This was viewed by the judges as one of the most significant elements in helping to drive industry competition and growth in the Australian telecom market.

The ATUG 2008 Awards recognise the outstanding performance and contributions made by individual and companies in the dynamic communications sector.
