BICS, a global wholesale carrier for voice, mobile data and capacity services, has today announced the volume of minutes used on its network across South America, Central America and the Caribbean has doubled within the last two years.

 This rapid growth follows the establishment of 40 new interconnections to the BICS Global Network across the region, including customers in Colombia, El Salvador, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Chile.

BICS now works with 80% of the major operator groups across the area to provide high-quality voice calls and data connectivity to end-users, in addition to value added services such as fraud protection and analysis tools for carriers. This increased market presence now means operators in countries such as Mexico, Brazil, Peru and Bolivia are all benefiting from BICS’ expertise and extensive global footprint.

BICS views the area markets with huge potential and as one of its key focuses in the coming year, as a growing number of operators look to provide next generation connectivity and a globalized virtual footprint to customers both in their domestic and international markets.

 As a renowned worldwide carrier supplying voice, data and capacity services to customers across its global footprint, BICS has consistently demonstrated its dedication and commitment to offering the latest innovative solutions for the existing and future requirements of the global telecoms industry.

“The rapid growth of our regional footprint across South America, Central America and the Caribbean illustrates the value we offer operators as they look to meet the unique challenges of their individual markets,” said Brian Troesch, VP of Sales for the Americas at BICS. “By establishing direct interconnections in the region with all major incumbents, MNOs and groups, BICS is able to guarantee the premium quality services to carriers both within the region and for partners around the world.” 

“BICS sees great potential in this market and anticipates it will become one of fastest growing sectors of our business in the coming year,” added Troesch. “As one of the world’s largest and most innovative wholesale carriers, BICS has the expertise to truly revolutionise the telecoms industry in the Americas in terms of coverage provision, international interconnect and through providing services to enable operators to quickly launch next generation services.”
