July 12, 2017, Roslyn Heights, New York – Advantage Communications Group, LLC (“Advantage”), a leading provider of enterprise technology solutions for customers worldwide, today announced they have reached a partnership agreement with Bezeq International (“BI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bezeq Israeli Telecommunications Corp. Ltd, Israel's leading telecom and Internet service provider. This agreement enables Advantage’s direct and partner sales channels to immediately offer BI’s full portfolio of unified communications, Internet, hosting and security solutions to their global base of clients.

Founded in 1996, Bezeq International’s global platform includes ten fully-redundant, carrier neutral data centers, three of which are in Israel, and a global MPLS/VPLS network that extends to Europe and the United States via submarine cables. The 2,300 km optical cable systems connect BI's physical network to landing stations in Italy and France, where it then extends terrestrially to major internet hubs in Europe and the US, including BI's Points of Presence in London, Frankfurt, and New York.  This platform positions Bezeq International as the only provider with an independent infrastructure connecting Israel to the world.
