NTT Europe Expands its Global IP Network into Eastern Europe
LONDON, BUDAPEST, BUCHAREST & SOFIA, Bulgaria, November 18, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
?
NTT Europe, a wholly owned subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation
[http://www.ntt.com/index-e.html ] (NTT Com), today announced that it has
expanded the reach of NTT Communications' Tier 1 Global IP Network in Europe
with new Points of Presence (PoP) locations in Budapest, Bucharest and
Sofia. The new global IP network PoPs enable NTT Europe to better service
ISPs and content networks with access to its high-capacity, reliable and
efficient network.
"Eastern Europe is an ideal location to establish new global IP network
PoPs with many opportunities for companies looking to increase their global
footprint and drive the market forward," said Clive Hamilton, Head of NTT
Europe's Global IP Network business unit. "We look forward to working with
local carriers to deepen our commitment to the region's telecommunications
industry by expanding network accessibility and capabilities between Eastern
Europe and the rest of the world."
As a strong emerging market, Eastern Europe offers valuable
opportunities to the global IP transit industry, and the new Budapest,
Bucharest and Sofia PoPs will directly enable not only the growth of the
local market but also the ability for global players to effectively and
efficiently connect to Eastern European infrastructure. NTT Europe's
investment in the new global IP network PoPs follows several years of
working closely with Eastern European companies to identify how best to help
them meet broadband growth demands.
"The Eastern European telecommunications sector is quickly becoming a
crucial part of the worldwide market, so it's an optimum time for NTT Europe
to leverage the NTT Communications Global IP Network to provide a stable and
dependable infrastructure to meet the broadband demands of service providers
and consumers in the area," said Hamilton. "Together, through the deployment
of these Points of Presence, we are directly enabling the continued growth
of the Eastern European markets."
NTT Europe directly connects telecommunications companies, Internet
Service Providers (ISPs), content providers, Content Delivery Networks
(CDNs) and enterprises to major markets around the world via NTT
Communications' Tier-1 IP Backbone Network. The NTT Communications network
provides high-volume data transport at a complete range of
commercial-strength bandwidth options, utilizing the most advanced
technologies to provide fast, efficient and accurate data transport. The
