| NTT do Brasil was established in 1987 as a representative office providing major corporations with consulting on network construction. Global communications services were launched in 1999, the year after Brazil deregulated its telecommunications industry. Today, the main services NTT do Brasil provides under the Arcstar brand are for global telecommunications (managed bandwidth and managed frame relay), ISP (Internet access, hosting and co-location) and system integration (LAN network design). As a result of deregulation, many worldwide telecom carriers are now competing in Brazil’s growing market. NTT do Brasil competes for domestic and multinational corporate customers by emphasizing the quality and reliability of its services. Moreover, the company is committed to providing seamless global-network and one-stop services in line with NTT Com’s worldwide policy. The trend toward IP-based services is fully under way in Brazil. Broadband has become so common that even the smallest companies cannot imagine doing business without the Internet. IP virtual private networks (IP-VPN) are effecting a fundamental change in traditional networks through the use of IPsec technology for public Internet-based networks and MPLS technology for private networks. Multinationals are looking to IP solutions to reduce network costs, while new technologies are assuring secure data traffic in cost-effective ways. |
