Level 3 Communications (News - Alert), Inc., has been selected to deliver voice services to VIP Communications, which provides prepaid long-distance service in the U.S. and more than 30 countries worldwide.

Officials with Level 3 said that as part of the contract, the company will provide international voice termination, or "IVT," services to VIP.

Company officials said that Level 3's IVT service is designed to deliver a high-quality, cost-effective solution for service providers with significant voice traffic by delivering real-time reporting and routing as well as real-time pricing.

"VIP is constantly on the lookout for cost-effective network solutions, and Level 3's network provided the reach and efficiency we were looking for," said Pete Rogers, senior vice president of business operations & development for VIP Communications, in a statement.

"With our constantly growing call volume, we also needed a network that provides the flexibility to adapt to our changing business needs, and Level 3 delivered on that front as well," Rogers said.

William Ganey, Level 3's general manager for Washington, D.C. said that delivering solutions that take advantage of the reach, flexibility and efficiency of the company's network represents the heart of Level 3's value proposition.

'And we pride ourselves on combining our extensive fiber footprint with a local customer support team to deliver an unmatched customer experience," Ganey said.

Level 3 Communications is an international provider of fiber-based communications services.

TMCnet in March reported that Level 3 Communications, Inc. will deliver high-speed network services for PT. Telkom Indonesia International, or "TII (News - Alert)," a wholly owned subsidiary of PT. Telkom Indonesia.

Officials with Level 3 said that TII will use the company's landing station connectivity at the Asia America Gateway (News - Alert), or "AAG," submarine cable system.

Company officials said that Level 3's services provide a diverse and scalable extension of TII's network to data and Internet traffic in the United States.
