Two units of the Deutsche Telekom international wholesale division: Business Development and Innovation (BDI) and International Carrier Sales & Solutions (ICSS), were each honored with one of the prestigious Global Carrier Awards.
Capacity Magazine, the organizer of the awards, honored BDI for LiveStream Perform in the “Best Technology Innovation” category. The cloud-based high definition video stream acceleration service provides outstanding performance at reasonable prices, while satisfying a wide range of requirements for a variety of business needs.
“Receiving the Global Carrier Award 2014 in this category is a great achievement.

Deutsche Telekom’s International Carrier Sales & Solutions unit (ICSS) was the runner-up for the Global Carrier Award in the “Project of the Year” category.
Capacity Magazine recognized ICSS for its complex backbone solution with superior reliability and redundancy that enabled connectivity from Brazil to Europe for the 2014 Football World Cup. The project was developed together with T-Systems International (TSI) and VIDI GmbH and implemented within extremely fast response and delivery times.
“We are delighted to get the award for ‘Project of the Year’. ICSS is committed to providing top-quality services and we are proud that our wholesale solutions have been officially acknowledged as one of the best on the market,” says Holger Magnussen, Senior Vice President Deutsche Telekom ICSS. “The project was extremely successful as it proved our commitment and ability to simplify cooperation with multiple partners for an outstanding and also very complex solution: more than one billion spectators enjoyed World Cup soccer action in high quality.”
The Global Carrier Awards have become one of the most prominent awards in the wholesale arena.

They acknowledge the contribution of individuals, companies, and technology partners in the past 12 months.
