Russia's Golden Telecom and AT&T Provide MPLS Access to SWIFTNet

Golden Telecom will provide access to SWIFT’s Secure IP Network (SIPN) in Russia and other Commonwealth of Independent States countries via AT&T’s MPLS-based VPN service. The agreement allows Golden Telecom to provide ordering, installation and maintenance of the service and conclude agreements for the provision of access to SWIFT`s SIPN with the full support of AT&T.

Four global telecommunications providers, including AT&T were selected by SWIFT to provide SWIFT users the world over with connectivity to SIPN. AT&T has concluded a master agreement with SWIFT that provides access to SIPN for SWIFT users through a managed network IP VPN based on MPLS.

Golden Telecom operates metropolitan overlay networks in Moscow, Kiev, St. Petersburg, Krasnoyarsk and Nizhny Novgorod and intercity fiber optic and satellite-based networks – including 150 combined access points in Russia and other countries of the CIS.
