CapRock Communications said it completed the expansion of its IPxpress core network to its Macae, Brazil teleport. IPxpress is CapRock’s Internet Protocol (IP)-based core network architecture that employs multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) to enable secure transmission of corporate data, digital telephony and real-time video over its managed satellite communications services.

“The big benefit of IPxpress, from [a customer] perspective, comes from what we call ‘follow me’ networking,” CapRock President and COO Errol Oliver said in a prepared statement. “As customers move from one location to the next within the CapRock global network, their IP address and IP telephone numbers ‘follow them’ wherever they go–just as if they were plugged in at the corporate office.”
