The C&W will
be introducing more high-end network services while
expanding the MPLs (managed private lines) to other
cities. With the sufficient current switch strength
of 45 MBz, the company is likely to set up another
switch to meet the growing demand from customers
for point-to-point inter connectivity.
Mr. Prabhakaran
claims that the there is going to be a great demand
for managed data services and International Private
Leased Circuit (IPLC), which comes as a single-point
service with a cost advantage of around 30%.
The overwhelming
response to all its three services, is also likely
to result in an increase in its manpower strength
to 360 in the next 12 months.
Earlier,
the company launched its managed data services in
Hyderabad by setting up a dedicated network node
with an investment of Rs 1 crore in association
with Reliance Infocomm. The dedicated node has been
integrated with C&W's global network.
