Singapore, 28 June 2018 – Epsilon, a privately owned global communications Service Provider, has partnered with DCConnect, a leading Chinese on-demand connectivity provider, to interconnect Software-Defined Networking (SDN) platforms and deliver two-way inter-carrier SDN network orchestration. The partnership enables users in China and around the world to instantly meet growing network demands and optimise their applications and services with on-demand connectivity.
