NTT Singapore to Launch Global Tier 1 IP Network Service in Singapore
NTT Singapore Pte Ltd (NTT Singapore, RHQ: Singapore) will launch its Global IP Network Service in Asia-Pacific Region (APAC) through the Point of Presence (PoP) expansion of one of the world's top-ranked Tier 1 IP backbones, NTT Communications (NTT Com) Global IP Network (GIN), on 2nd May, 2007.
The Tier 1 GIN currently boasts one of the industry's largest dedicated Internet bandwidths with 109Gbps between Japan and U.S. and 52Gbps between Asia and Oceania and 29Gbps between US and Europe to provide customers with fast and smooth global Internet connections with minimal delays. The setting up of the GIN Service in Singapore also means that NTT Singapore will be able to provide IPv6 Service and IPv6/IPv4 Dual Service for MNCs here in Singapore. NTT Com Group's IPv6 customers are fully supported by NTT Com's highly experienced IPv6 engineers, which have been on the forefront of IPv6 development and implementation worldwide.
With a global single AS2914, there will be less hop routing which will provide a more stable network operation compared to other IP network providers, which utilize different AS numbers based on the region. This means customers can enjoy faster access to other major service providers in other countries in Asia, US and Europe. NTT Com's AS2914 network is fully redundant, highly reliabile and comes complete with excellent network management. All these have been proven during the Taiwan Earthquake in Dec 2006.
"There is a steep growth in the Internet traffic which has resulted in a leap of total Internet bandwidth required across the Pacific. The demands for the Tier 1 IP network are increasing especially in APAC region. Singapore serves as a very important hub for the APAC region. With the launch of the GIN Service in Singapore, NTT Singapore will be able to bring further benefits to our valued customers by enabling them to faster access to the Internet via our highly reliable IP Network." said Tetsuro Mikami, President and CEO of NTT Singapore and APAC Regional Chief Executive Officer of NTT Com Group..
As an ICT Solution Partner, NTT Singapore will leverage on its flexible and integrated ICT platform to take advantage of its existing capabilities which include Arcstar Global Network Services, Data Center services, Hosting services, System Integration and Voice services to serve its customers.
