DALLAS, Sept. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Multinational companies operating in Latin America now have expanded reach and local depth in the region, the U.S. and globally thanks to enhanced network connections between AT&T* and America Movil.

• More than 91,000 miles of America Movil group of companies' fiber optic network installed throughout the region, and 12 data centers in Latin America.
• Six markets with enhanced Ethernet availability via America Movil in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.  

Additionally, interconnection to the AT&T global backbone network enables America Movil MPLS-based services to reach 163 countries over 3,800 service nodes and 38 on-net data centers across the globe.

"AT&T's goal is to provide delivery of a consistent global experience for our customers who continue to expand internationally, and especially in Latin America," said Roman Pacewicz, AT&T Business Solutions senior vice president of marketing and global strategy. "The long-standing relationship with the America Movil group of companies is a key pillar of our global strategy. The enhanced regional interconnection will allow us to provide deeper in-country reach in the entire region to match our client's expanding presence in Latin America."
