NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the ICT solutions and
international communications business within the NTT Group (NYSE:NTT),
announced today a significant addition to its global portfolio — a
secure globally available mobile service for machine-to-machine (M2M)
communication, which the company is rolling out in Hong Kong and
Thailand on January 30 and then in other worldwide markets in a
scheduled rollout over the upcoming months. The service, Arcstar
Universal One Mobile, combines globally integrated mobile networks with
NTT Com’s Arcstar Universal One world-class virtual private network to
realize highly economical and secure M2M connection.
NTT Com, which has a proven track record of offering M2M solutions and
well-established relationships with M2M business partners in Japan. The
company will now leverage its expertise to help customers worldwide
exploit the full potential of M2M.
M2M communications using mobile connections are being increasingly
deployed around the world to collect data from sensors and other devices
for innovative new businesses, such as monitoring the operational status
of exported machinery and vehicles and managing cross-border supply
chains. It is not easy, however, for enterprises to arrange the
necessary M2M connections in each global business location. They must
sign contracts for mobile connectivity in each country, then manage
these connections and ensure that the necessary security measures are
deployed.
NTT Com, in the face of these growing needs, is now launching a service
that enables enterprises to access, operate and manage mobile
connections around the world, as well as centrally manage these
connections through a convenient web portal. The solution essentially
resolves all of the issues enterprises have in regard to introducing,
managing and protecting the security of their mobile communications for
global M2M operations.
