NEW YORK & HONG KONG -- (Business Wire)
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

NTT Com is a Platinum
Sponsor of Capacity Asia 2016. Attendees can connect with NTT Com

the exhibition stand during networking hours.
