$ LVLT. EarthLink Telecommunications Chooses Level 3 to Provide Secure Global Connectivity to its Customers.
-- Demand in Middle East for Secure, Private Connectivity Led to the Internet Provider Selecting Level 3's Global MPLS/IP VPN Services
LONDON, March 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NYSE: LVLT) today announced it has been selected by Internet and communication solutions provider, EarthLink Telecommunications, to provide the secure global connectivity needed to support enterprise customers from EarthLink's Middle East location.
EarthLink's 400-plus points of presence enable its customers to communicate in its local market. Yet the company faced the challenge of an ever-increasing demand for enhanced online security and connectivity to worldwide markets, particularly from customers in key local business sectors such as the financial services and oil industries. To meet the needs of its enterprise customers, EarthLink turned to Level 3's MPLS/IP VPN (Multiprotocol Label Switching/Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network) services to deliver the necessary secure, private connectivity.
As a direct result of EarthLink's ability to provide Level 3's services to both its wholesale and enterprise customers, the Internet provider has already signed a new contract with one of the region's major oil and gas companies.
Sarmad Hassan, Chief Executive Officer, EarthLink Telecommunications, said: "Working with Level 3 gives us the ability to provide customers with a one-stop shop for connectivity services. We can therefore provide them with secure, robust and reliable network connectivity on a worldwide basis, while helping them to reduce costs."
"As part of our mission of connecting and protecting the networked world, we deliver the services that are needed and where they are needed in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region," said Andrew Crouch, Regional President, EMEA, Level 3. "Working with organisations such as EarthLink, which impressed us with its local footprint, is another piece in the jigsaw in Level 3's mission of connecting different locations across the world to serve customers."
About EarthLink Telecommunications

$ LVLT. It looks like they doing pretty with what they are doing for now. GO > $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ LVLT
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I don't imagine they will need promotion of any kind from old Williams Communication share holders in the future.
$ LVLT. Not heard anything about it myself. Things keep looking better here as they keep sating New 52 week Highs though. GO > $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ LVLT
Well not really I was none the wiser back then as I'm now. I should of bought 5 as it is I bought 500 for ten dollars.
It was really splitting hairs so to speak back then to buy 500 so cheap as to 5 shares.
That was five shares wasn't it you have?
has anyone heard when they may issue promotional shares for the default of Williams Communications purchased some time ago I know they have no obligation to do so but to keep investors interest in the market place it has been done before. I hold 500 shares of Williams Communications for some ten years or more in different brokerage accounts that I try to keep current.
$ LVLT. Frost & Sullivan Awards Level 3 for Best Practices in VoIP and SIP Trunking Services to Enterprises.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) access and session initiation protocol (SIP) trunking services market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Level 3 Communications with the 2015 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Line Strategy Leadership. Frost & Sullivan determined the Level 3 Voice CompleteSM solution is a sophisticated set of enterprise voice technologies that simplifies VoIP and SIP trunking for mainstream enterprises to adopt.
Level 3 Communications recognized with the 2015 North American VoIP Access and SIP Trunking Services Product Line Strategy Leadership Award
"Consolidating inbound customer calls was always something we wanted to do, but found it to be cost-prohibitive with traditional voice infrastructure," said Scott Strahler, Vice President of Infrastructure and Operations at David's Bridal. "A Level 3 SIP platform with long-distance service is the most cost-effective and efficient solution for configuring our voice services to better address our business objectives while simultaneously freeing up employees to be more responsive to customer needs."
Level 3 bundles many features and functionalities to raise the bar against its competitors. Voice Complete offers unlimited local calling and metered or prepaid long distance, as well as shared concurrent call paths, enterprise-grade disaster recovery and business continuity options, and geographically independent telephone numbers.
Level 3 also simplifies the migration process to updated technologies needed for native IP-based SIP trunks. Its primary rate interface (PRI) conducts the handoff at the core network, rather than at the edge of the customer's network. This allows customers working through an IP-enabled migration strategy to move at their own pace, without additional hardware purchases for intermediate steps.
"Along with Voice Complete, which enables unified communications solutions, Level 3 offers customers standalone enterprise voice services, hosted contact center, as well as audio, video and Web conferencing services," said Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Michael Brandenburg. "Each of these positions Level 3 as a one-stop shop for enterprise communications services."
As part of the Voice Complete solutions, customers can access their domestic phone number anywhere on Level 3's network. This enables a highly mobile workforce to stay connected and ensures E911 and emergency services are available to users, irrespective of their location.
Importantly, Level 3 leverages its extensive global network to support a higher level of service for longer uptimes, which enhances its service-level agreements (SLA). Unlike over-the-top VoIP providers that offer voice service over the public Internet, Level 3's multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) and carrier Ethernet data services deliver on-network quality of service (QoS) with minimal latency.
By focusing on providing value-added services instead of commodity pricing, the company positions itself as a more compelling alternative to both incumbent carriers and over-the-top (OTT) providers in the medium-to-large enterprise space. Any product that Level 3 delivers scales to support thousands of geographically dispersed users.
Level 3 is highly focused on delivering solutions that enable enterprise customer success through efficiently growing their businesses in an inherently secure manner. This, in turn, is expected to provide the company with numerous up-selling opportunities and earn it a seat at the table for customer evaluations and requests for proposals (RFP).
"Level 3 complements its heavy investments in network architecture with proactive customer communication when inevitable outages occur," Brandenburg said. "This dedication to maintaining customer satisfaction and value has aided its continued growth in the VoIP access and SIP trunking services market."

$ LVLT. Level 3 Adds New Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Mitigation Offering, with Approximately 4.5 Terabits per Second Attack-..
-- Uses International Threat Intelligence to Help Protect Customers From Evolving Cyber Threats
BROOMFIELD, Colorado, Feb. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As the fight for a safe and secure Internet intensifies around the world, Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NYSE: LVLT) enhances its managed security portfolio with a new tool for enterprises looking to safeguard their critical data and systems, Level 3sm DDoS Mitigation Service. The differentiated service provides protection closer to the network edge, saving customers time and money when it matters most – in the face of an attack.

"Level 3 has continued to listen to our customers to help them securely grow their business and provide solutions that help them efficiently solve the challenges they face today," said Anthony Christie, chief marketing officer at Level 3. "This announcement underscores not only our customer commitment but also our ability to change the way enterprises think about security, offering them a new layer of protection."
The combination of Level 3's expansive network which provides extensive attack traffic visibility and the service's ability to work on both Level 3 and on third-party networks provides a clear differentiator in the marketplace for customers. The vast level of visibility comes from the company's Content Delivery Network (CDN), IP and Domain Name System (DNS) networks. The addition of Level 3's threat analysis capabilities and managed security services enable it to assist enterprises in building a strong security posture to address today's complex threat landscape.
"Throughout my tenure in the cybersecurity business, I have never seen such an accelerated and sophisticated cyber threat landscape – and attacks will only continue to grow in frequency, size and complexity," said Chris Richter, senior vice president of managed security services at Level 3. "Level 3 has leveraged its global network infrastructure and managed security services with leading detection and mitigation technologies to provide our customers with a truly advanced layer of defense against these evolving exploits."
Evolving Threat Landscape Necessitates Multi-layered Solutions
According to the 2014 Radware Global Application & Network Security Report, 51 percent of reported DDoS attacks targeted the network and 49 percent targeted applications. A multi-layer approach – starting with the network – lets enterprises protect their critical information from either type of attack. Having both network controls and scrubbing centers allows Level 3 to predict and detect malicious attacks, alert customers and quickly re-route traffic to defend their critical data infrastructures.
At the core of the service, Level 3 leverages its vast DDoS ingest capacity, 4.5 terabits per second, to monitor customer's traffic and route infected packets to one of Level 3's globally located scrubbing centers before being returned via a private connection or the public Internet.
"An integrated security approach is a natural evolution of DDoS protection. Applying advanced analytics to rich, flow-based security data to augment traditional security data enables new functionality, to not only block attacks but also predict them," according to Frank Dickson, a research director with Frost & Sullivan. "With its global network reach and visibility, Level 3 is well positioned to take advantage of data analytics for the purpose of improving the efficacy of DDoS detection and mitigation techniques."
DDoS Mitigation with Extensive Attack Traffic Visibility
The global service provides enhanced network routing, rate limiting and IP filtering alongside a network-based detection and mitigation scrubbing solution. Additionally, enterprises gain the benefits of threat intelligence used by Level 3's Security Operations Center (SOC).
Additional benefits include:
Improved Performance – Ensure website, core applications and infrastructure remain secure and available
Greater Security – Defend against a wide range of attack types and sizes from layers 3 to 7
Reduced Costs – Minimize upfront capital expenditures while providing multiple protection options for any IT budget
Global and Scalable Coverage – Support flexible and growing networks in locations around the globe with scrubbing centers distributed throughout the world, not just in North America
