NTT Communications Opens PoP in Nordics to Expand Global IP Network

London (ots/PRNewswire) -

NTT Communications [http://www.eu.ntt.com/jp/index.html ] (NTT
Com) in Europe, a member of the NTT Group - the number one Fortune
Global 500 telecommunications company - has increased its global IP
network reach and capacity into the Nordics, with the opening of a
new Point of Presence (PoP) in Stockholm.

Based in TelecityGroup's data center in Stockholm, expansion into
this key market shows NTT Com's commitment to providing an extended
network for its customers coming into and out of Europe. The PoP is a
new, key market for NTT Com and will provide high-speed, reliable
Internet connectivity on its high quality, Tier-1 Global IP Network.

Not only will it reach customers in Sweden, but will extend to
customers in the wider Nordic region, Russia and the Baltic
countries; Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, enabling them to provide
robust resilient services to its customers. This expansion provides
more options for carriers, ISP's and direct customers by increasing
the portfolio of connectivity routes available.

Clive Hamilton, Head of Global IP Network in Europe said, "This
PoP opens up a whole new region for NTT Com. We can provide extended
reach with new and existing customers in the Nordics to the rest of
the world." Hamilton continues, "The Nordic region is one of the most
stable and prosperous economies in Europe supported by thriving
manufacturing and service industries. This additional region will
help organizations to gain greater competitive advantage in their
global operations and connect with growth opportunities in the Asian
market."

Since the beginning of 2012, NTT Communications has shown
persistent and stable growth in the Central and Eastern European
carrier and IP markets. Now totalling 30 PoP location buildings
overall, in the last 12 months, NTT Communications has added an
additional 10 PoP locaton buildings in Europe, and has entered new
markets in Brussels, Bucharest, Budapest, Milan, Sofia, Vienna and
Stockholm.

TelecityGroup's data centers are built and operated to provide
resilient and always-available hosting environments. Commenting on
the recent move into TelecityGroup's facility, Niclas Sanfridsson,
Managing Director of TelecityGroup Sweden said, "NTT chose us for our
network availability, high levels of physical and environmental
resilience, security excellence and flexibility. TelecityGroup
already works with NTT in the UK and Netherlands so we are excited
that they have chosen to widen their reach into the Nordic regions by
locating in TelecityGroup's highly connected Stockholm data center."
