DGAP-News: ecotel communication ag: New cooperation: ecotel and Unitymedia launch strategic partnership for joint marketing of fibre optic cable access
On the basis of the new cooperation ecotel can offer increased network coverage to its business customers in the SME segment. Fibre optic based broadband access is gaining significant importance in view of the IT/telecom, cloud computing requirements and virtual private networks (VPN) of large enterprises and increasingly also of SMEs.
"We are looking forward to the long-term cooperation with Unitymedia. The company's high-speed fibre optic networks make Unitymedia an important partner for ecotel, and the fibre optic infrastructure is a substantial element of our multi-carrier concept. With the increased digitalisation of core processes in many enterprises, the importance of fibre optics for the competitiveness of our customers is constantly growing. On the basis of redundant interconnection we are also capable of providing additional services through the Unitymedia cable network. Since Unitymedia is part of the international cable company Liberty Global, our customers also have access to an MEF-certified infrastructure in 12 European countries," explains Peter Zils, CEO of ecotel communication ag.
For Unitymedia the cooperation is another important element of the company's business customer strategy of addressing SMEs also through wholesale partners in the future. "We look forward to the cooperation with ecotel, because together we can make the fibre optic infrastructure available to even more enterprises. With 18,000 business customers in the B2B market ecotel is well positioned and is an important partner for Unitymedia. We are confident that both companies will benefit from the cooperation and will more effectively be able to implement growth potentials in the important B2B high-speed internet market," explains Heribert Clemens, Senior Vice President B2B Unitymedia GmbH.
