The expanded capacity will allow the network to support demand that is
expected to double over the next two years, driven by the rapidly
growing number of internet users on smartphones and tablets and the
growing adoption of broadband. Increasing use of music and video
streaming, high-resolution images and 4K data are also boosting capacity
needs.
The Global IP Network, a pioneer of commercial IPv6 technology, is one
of the world’s largest IP backbones among global Tier-1 network
providers and is the number-one network in Asia. The high-speed,
high-capacity service is offered in Japan and major countries in Asia,
North America, Latin America, Europe and Oceania. The Asia-Oceania
channel has reached a total capacity of more than 1.5 Tbps, while the
Japan-U.S. channel handles more data than any other ISPs, now at over
1Tbps.
In order to effectively and proactively deal with increased traffic, NTT
Com has been investing in related technologies, including 100 Gigabit
Ethernet (GbE) technology, which has now been introduced in the U.S.,
Europe and Japan, and 100 gigabit per second (Gbps) digital coherent
transmission, a next-generation optical transmission technology on the
PC-1 submarine cable.
NTT Com will continue to monitor usage and upgrade capacity to ensure
high-performance, low-latency and cost-effective global access to a
well-developed Internet environment, leading the industry in ICT
development, quality network services and 24-7 support.
