LONDON, BUDAPEST, BUCHAREST & SOFIA, Bulgaria, November 18, 2011
(ots/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 network, which supports both IPv4 and
IPv6, was one of the core networks for this June's World IPv6 Day
trial.
