NTT Communications (NTT Com) has announced expansion into China with the opening of new branch office in Wuhan, Hubei Province in February and the launch of a new point of presence (POP) for its Arcstar Global IP-VPN managed network services in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province.
NTT Com currently operates branches near China’s coast, including Dalian, Tianjin, Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou and Guangzhou. The Wuhan branch is expected to enhance NTT Com’s provision of ICT suite, including fast support for operation and maintenance, in central China.
NTT Com claims that its new POP in Guangzhou is serving China’s second highest concentration of Japanese and other multinationals, following only the Shanghai area. Besides enabling the company to offer network services to nearby customers, it will also allow customers to shorten access lines to south China region, especially Guangdong Province.
The company said that the new POP’s backbone is connected to Japan directly and to other Asian locations through Hong Kong. The new branch office will be located at New World International Trade Center, Hubei.
