New York – January 7, 2019 – NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the global data and IP services arm of telecom leader NTT (TYO: 9432), announced today that the company is expanding its award-winning tier-1 Global IP Network with a new Point-of-Presence (PoP) in Toronto, Canada.

This expansion will enable NTT Com to further scale its offerings to Internet service providers (ISPs), content-oriented companies, and cloud, hosting and CDN providers in this highly strategic market. The PoP will also support the growing demand for high-quality IP services from global companies and organizations that have established their Canadian headquarters and/or operational centers in the region.

Additionally, the financial services, commercial, distribution, media and industrial sectors, all key drivers of Toronto's vibrant economy, will benefit from more global connectivity and networking options.

NTT Com customers will be able to connect at numerous capacity levels including 100G ports with confirmed diversity and direct connections to multiple points in the Global IP Network to ensure the highest reliability and the lowest latency in the IP services.

"We are thrilled to extend our footprint into one of North America's fastest growing technology hubs," said Michael Wheeler, executive vice president of the NTT Communications Global IP Network at NTT America. "Internet-centric businesses and organizations operating in the area will have direct access to our tier-1 global backbone and the high-performance IP solutions they need for their content, online video, hosting, gaming and other bandwidth-intensive applications."
