Tech Talk – GTT Carrier Services with Rich Modica

SHARE

What defines a reliable partner for global carrier connectivity? In this Tech Talk, Rich Modica, GTT's SVP of Carrier Sales, explains how GTT supports global carriers with reach, flexibility, and infrastructure that scales across continents.

At the foundation of GTT's offering is a global Tier 1 IP backbone spanning six continents and reaching over 140 countries. Combined with points of presence (PoPs) for connectivity wherever carriers need to be, anywhere on earth.

Equally critical is GTT's ecosystem of network partner. There are more than 400 preferred providers and 3,000 additional connected partners, GTT can source diverse, location-specific connectivity to meet a wide range of wholesale delivery models-across wired, wireless, and cable networks.

Core services featured in the Tech Talk include:

  • IP Transit, leveraging GTT’s global Tier 1 IP backbone and delivering connectivity through ports up to 400G
  • Ethernet, with global reach and flexible delivery via NNI connections
  • Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), for guaranteed performance and global availability
  • DDoS Protection and Mitigation, offered as a key component of GTT’s carrier services portfolio

Many of GTT's wholesale customers also use this infrastructure as a platform for their own service delivery. Whether supporting SD-WAN deployments or enabling voice services, carriers rely on GTT for the underlying reach and access needed to serve their end users. As Rich explains, GTT enables them to "overlay their services on top of it."

The conversation also highlights GTT's long history and capabilities, with a global team of 2,200 employees serving over 260 cities. If you are a decision maker in lead sourcing, procurement, or infrastructure design for a carrier, this video offers a direct view into what GTT can provide and how our services fit into your connectivity strategy.
