TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the global data and IP services arm of Fortune Global 500 telecom leader NTT (NTT), announced today that it will expand its global IP network footprint with a new point-of-presence (PoP) in Bangkok, Thailand, one of the fastest-growing markets for Internet-related business in Asia, beginning July 1.
NTT Com will offer IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack access via its award-winning* Tier-1 IP network not only to domestic providers of Internet services (ISPs) and content (ICPs), but also multinational companies providing Internet-related services in Thailand and the Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS) countries, including Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.
NTT Com will leverage its presence in Thailand to strengthen the country’s Internet environment, where a population of over 67 million is driving some 70% compound annual growth in international IP traffic. With Thailand functioning as the center of the GMS, the new PoP also will enhance the Internet environment throughout the GMS, which has a population of approximately 300 million.
NTT Com’s global Tier-1 IP network, a pioneer of commercial IPv6 technology, is the world’s second-largest network among global Tier-1 IP network providers and is the number-one network in Asia*, including the largest transpacific capacity**. Direct connection to this backbone ensures availability to highly reliable global infrastructure that Internet service providers in Thailand and the GMS will use to deliver high-performance, low-latency and cost-effective global access to their customers.
