VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2007 ANNUAL REPORT
In the pursuit of growth, companies are moving into new, high-
potential global markets to offer their products and services. These
companies also want to maximize their effectiveness and productivity.
As a result, corporations are faced with the challenge of connecting
their workforce, their systems and their communications networks in
countries around the world.
A global company’s network shouldn’t care if employees and
customers are wired or wireless, if they’re in Paris or Singapore, or if
they’re working on a laptop or a PDA. They need to be able to gain
access whenever they want, wherever they are and on whatever
device they choose.
Verizon is a leading provider of advanced communications and
information technology solutions to large business and government
customers worldwide. Combining our vast global network reach with
advanced communications, security and other professional service
capabilities, Verizon delivers innovative and seamless products to
customers around the globe. We use our world-class network as the
foundation for offering secure services and end-to-end solutions that
enable our customers to better serve their customers.
In 2007, Verizon Business moved to further increase its strategic
services leadership. With the acquisition of Cybertrust, Verizon Business
became the leading provider of managed information security
services to business and government customers worldwide. By
combining Cybertrust’s global presence and customer base, focused
security expertise and professional services with Verizon Business’
comprehensive security portfolio, global IP network and financial
strength, the acquisition created a powerful and unique player in the
global security marketplace.
Verizon Business is also a founding partner and landing party
in a consortium building the Trans Pacific Express (TPE) – the first
next-generation undersea optical cable system directly linking the
U.S. mainland and China. The TPE system will use the latest optical
technology to provide greater capacity and higher speeds to
meet the dramatic increase in demand for IP and video services.
The TPE cable system will complement Verizon’s existing submarine
cables in the Asia-Pacific region, providing further diversity from other
undersea routes.
Whether it’s providing significant network capability, personal
service or an extensive set of products and services, Verizon is the
premier provider of advanced communications and IT solutions
worldwide.
