New Network Infrastructure and
State-of-the-Art Capabilities Strengthen Company’s Leadership in
Asia-Pacific Region
NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the global data and IP
services arm of Fortune Global 500 telecom leader NTT (NYSE:NTT),
today announced its participation as a Platinum Sponsor at the
Capacity Asia 2016 Conference taking place in Hong Kong, 6-7
December. Capacity Asia is one of the leading events for the
wholesale IP services and communications industry in the
region.
NTT Com remains the top Wholesale IP Provider in the
Asia-Pacific region according to the Dyn IP Transit Intelligence
Wholesale Rankings published by Capacity magazine in its Wholesale
World 2016 Yearbook. Earlier this year the company was named
Wholesale Operator of the Year at the Asia Communication Awards
2016 in Singapore for the third time, and just a few days ago Best
Global Operator at the World Communication Awards 2016 in London
for the second time.
New network infrastructure and state-of-the-art capabilities
continue to strengthen the company’s leadership in the Asia-Pacific
region. In October 2016 NTT Com launched a high-capacity optical
submarine cable network, the Asia Pacific Gateway (APG). With a
total length of 10,400 km avoiding areas prone to earthquakes and
typhoons, the APG network leverages 100Gbps optical transmission
and digital coherent technology and has connectivity points in
Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Malaysia,
Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Most recently, NTT Com and other NTT companies added a new
submarine cable-laying ship to their fleet of vessels currently
deploying and maintaining vital undersea cable assets in Japanese
and overseas waters.
At the Capacity Asia Conference Michael Wheeler, executive vice
president of the Global IP Network business unit at NTT
Communications, will join industry leaders on the security panel
“Can We Ever, Truly Be in a Secure Position?” on Tuesday 6 December
at 4:15 p.m. local time. The discussion will focus on how global
carriers collaborate on cyber security and DDoS prevention, and
what influence virtualization and automation have on the
development of defending against security breaches.
“We at NTT Com look at security as protecting our network and
the network of our customers,” said Michael Wheeler. “We take
network security very seriously and continually look at ways to
contain these issues.” NTT Com offers DDoS protection and
mitigation services that help stabilize the situation in the event
of a DDoS attack, identify root causes and filter traffic until the
threat subsides.
The company has a dedicated network security team that supports
and protects the Global IP Network with an average tenure of ten
plus years and expertise to handle DDoS attacks. “NTT Com has the
infrastructure and capabilities to mitigate such threats but like
all operators we will continue to see attacks evolve in size and
complexity,” Mr. Wheeler added. Please click here to watch a video

wholesale IP providers in helping companies protect their networks
and data.
NTT Com is a Platinum Sponsor of Capacity Asia 2016. Attendees
can connect with NTT Com during the company-sponsored Tuesday 6
December evening reception and at the exhibition stand during
networking hours.
