Vodafone (VOD) has expanded its multiprotocol label switching-enabled (MPLS-enabled) network and will now provide customers with 212 points of presence (PoPs) worldwide, including 42 across the United States, Canada, South America and Latin America.
The British multinational telecommunications company said it will establish 21 new PoPs in North America and 12 in South America and Latin America.
“We’re putting the very best next-generation infrastructure where our customers need it and investing for the future by giving businesses access to the world’s most expansive network by depth and reach,” Chuck Pol, Vodafone Global Enterprise‘s president of the Americas region, said in a prepared statement.
Vodafone’s managed network provides customers with secure Internet access to connect locations and employees.

Vodafone also plans to invest $25 billion to extend its total communications capabilities in every continent.
