| Lower prices, higher-quality service and global coverage are demands familiar to telecom service providers around the world, including NTT Korea. Established in 1999 and headed by President Kazuo Kobayashi, NTT Korea is helping its customers meet these and other needs with services for global telecom, system integration, global IP transit and more. As in many other countries, South Korean customers are shifting from frame-relay and leased-line services to Internet-protocol virtual private networks (IP-VPNs). NTT Korea launched an IPSec service last year to satisfy the growing demand for this VPN architecture. The company often recommends the IPSec service to customers looking for inexpensive and easy access to IP capabilities. Services based on multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) architecture are also provided as required. The company has been busy answering customers' questions about the voice quality of relatively new IP-VPN services. One of the most convincing examples, it has found, is the large number of companies in Japan that are using the Arcstar-brand IP-VPN service for voice communications. To promote the scalability of its IP-VPN service, NTT Korea points to the fact that domestic service in Japan, which uses the same technologies as the global service, boasts more than 50,000 ports. As more and more Korean firms turn to IP-VPNs, the company is promoting the NTT Com group's proven success with a wide array of IP-VPN customers in Japan. The company also launched a global IP transit service for Internet service providers in Korea last year. Although the Korean market continues to mirror the difficulties of the global IT industry, NTT Korea is enthusiastically moving ahead with efforts to offer enhanced service and help customers both to save costs and realize the many benefits of high-quality IP networks. |
