Dubai: Tata Communications has signed a major voice services agreement with BT Group that will allow two of the world's largest providers of voice and IP services to benefit from shared resources as part of a global supply arrangement.
Tata Communications through the five-year agreement will become BT's primary supplier of International Direct Dial (IDD) and other voice termination services outside BT's own footprint countries, a statement released on behalf of the two companies said on Monday.
BT will become Tata Communications' main distribution channel for its IDD traffic into the UK, expanding into other markets across Europe as the relationship matures, it added.
As per the agreement, the relationship will allow BT and Tata Communications to benefit from their respective global networks and advantageous cost structures.
BT will also have access to Tata Communications' routing capabilities and on-line management systems providing greater economies of scale that will improve BT's competitiveness in the international calls market.
