Singapore-based Neptune Orient Lines (NOL), a world-leading global container shipping, terminals and logistics group, has renewed a five-year, $38 million communications infrastructure agreement with Orange Business Services. 
Orange Business will be responsible for NOL’s global communications infrastructure entirely from design and implementation to management. The MPLS-based IP VPN drives NOL’s complex international container shipping logistics and terminal management services. NOL will leverage managed IP Telephony, advanced messaging and unified communications solutions for greater business collaboration and efficiency across its operations that currently span more than 400 locations in the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Middle East.

From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about MPLS. Here is what it replaced:
Frame Relay served 1990–2010. What ultimately replaced it?
Frame Relay switched variable-length frames over pre-provisioned permanent virtual circuits, dropping X.25's per-hop error correction (links were now clean) and pushing recovery to the endpoints for far higher throughput. Its job passed to MPLS — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
