NTT Communications Invests in New Low-Latency Route Between Europe and Hong Kong

London (ots/PRNewswire) -

NTT Communications, a member of the NTT Group and the number one
Fortune Global 500 telecommunications group, announced today it has
extended its Global low-latency network with a dedicated connection
between London and Hong Kong.

This allows NTT Communications to offer a Managed Bandwidth
Service using the new TEA-2 system - the newest low-latency route
alternative to subsea cables. For NTT Communications' European
customers, access to the TEA-2 wavelength service means they have
direct connectivity to the major countries in Asia. Investment in
this new route gives customers a reliable, private and dedicated
network service on-net, as the demand from multinational companies in
Europe sees an increase in the use of data networks and cloud
services to support global expansions.

John Hammond, VP Business Network Services at NTT Europe, says,
"We are always looking at how we can expand our network to give
customers greater capacity with newer, faster and more reliable
routes but also better value for money. The TEA-2 cable system really
does strengthen our capability in Europe."

As part of a broader strategy, this European connection into Hong
Kong complements NTT Communications' "Gateway to Asia" offering
between Europe, Singapore, Japan and China. And with the launch of
the NTT Communications Hong Kong Financial Data Center (FDC (TM)) in
2013, the TEA-2 landing site will provide Tier IV ready data center
infrastructure with an ultra-low latency network.

Masaaki Moribayashi, Managing Director at NTT Europe, says, "NTT
Communications is the leading ICT provider in the Asia-Pac region. We
have a strong presence and heritage here and this announcement means
we are able to provide the skills and network infrastructure our
customers need to become successful."
