Greenwoods is currently carrying out network installation and training at several FLAG locations worldwide, including South Korea, Taiwan, USA, Egypt and Pakistan.

"Sourcing and managing network engineering partners around the world is expensive and potentially inefficient," said Peter Boland, VP Engineering, FLAG Telecom. "We selected Greenwoods to work with us around the globe, and are using their highly skilled technical staff to carry out a series of installation, test and commissioning projects. Greenwoods also provides training to our network support teams to ensure our in-house skill sets remain excellent. Using Greenwoods to provide these services globally has delivered cost-efficiencies and a uniformly high quality of installation and commissioning."

"Given the recent economic climate in the telecoms field, network operators recognised the opportunity to save costs without compromising on quality," said Paul Rabidas, Technical Services Manager, Greenwoods Communications. "By contracting to technical specialists, FLAG ensures its high standards are met consistently while allowing it to focus on core business activities. Greenwoods is working with FLAG worldwide, providing high-end technical support as and when required and training local teams to carry out work to FLAG's high standards on an ongoing basis."
