Company Speaks at COMPTEL PLUS on Building a Next Generation Network
Oct. 12, 2009 (Business Wire) -- NTT America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and a global IP network services provider, today announced the company is helping regional service providers connect their business and residential customers to voice, video and data through the quality, reliability and reach of the NTT Communications Global IP Network, as will be discussed in a speaking engagement at the COMPTEL PLUS Fall 2009 Convention & EXPO on Monday, October 12th at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando, Florida.
Cody Christman, NTT America’s Director of Product Engineering, will be speaking on the COMPTEL panel, Network Migration: Building a Next Generation Network. The panel will focus on solutions for service providers working to integrate disparate networks, simplify architecture and migrate existing customers off TDM switches to alternative IP switching solutions. The panelists will discuss various experiences working with the integration and migration of these switching solutions, and offer insight and advice for other service providers in similar situations.
“The popularity of social media, new and mobile applications, and unified communications in the midst of a recession puts regional service providers in a challenging position. They must contain the costs of doing business while facing increasing demand from their customers to serve more and higher broadband content,” said Michael Wheeler, vice president of NTT America’s Global IP Network Business Unit. “Our portfolio of infrastructure assets gives us the opportunity to offer service providers scalable and flexible high speed connections designed to scale with their changing bandwidth needs. For example, we can shape their bandwidth and we can provision any number of 10GigE ports in a matter of days.”
NTT America operates the NTT Communications Global IP Network and Mr. Christman will focus on the benefits a global Tier-1 IP backbone brings to bear for regional service providers looking to drive technological innovation and grow their businesses. The benefits are:
- Global Reach – NTT America offers direct connection to major ISPs in the United States, Europe and Asia and operates major Internet network nodes and data centers located in key U.S. cities. The network’s global single ASN, ASN 2914, allows ubiquitous route view to customers globally.
