Deutsche Telekom’s T-Systems division has extended its IP-VPN MPLS network services into North America. T-Systems is offering custom-build MPLS solutions that address and adapt to specific requirements at each site in terms of availability, class of service mix, service level agreement and support parameters. Four “application-aware” classes of service are available. The service runs entirely over an IP backbone.

From the Graveyard
You just read about Deutsche Telekom. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
VoiceStream Wireless built National GSM mobile operator in the United States. What became of it?
VoiceStream Wireless brought National GSM mobile operator in the United States to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Deutsche Telekom for US$35B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Deutsche Telekom today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
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.
