NTT America to Speak at Mobile Internet World

NTT America, a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation, today announced the company will join with other leaders in the emerging mobile internet ecosystem in a comprehensive, lively, and thought-provoking discussion exploring today's most important mobile issues and trends at the Mobile Internet World Conference & Expo, November 13th - 15th at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, MA. NTT Communications Global IP Network, a Tier 1 IP backbone, interconnects four continents with high-performance IPv4 and IPv6 capability. IP architectures are becoming critical elements in the delivery of ubiquitous mobile broadband services.

Director of Product Engineering for NTT America, Cody Christman, will present in the Mobile Broadband & Technology Track on the panel, "Optimum Network Architectures for Personal Broadband," on Wednesday, November 14 at 3:45 p.m. ET. Joining Christman on the panel: Brian Ponte of ArrayComm, Kurt Dobbins of Ellacoya and Jim Orr of Fujitsu. The panel will be moderated by Dr. Philip Marshall, vice president of the Yankee Group's Enabling Technologies- Telco group. The panel will investigate the salient characteristics of all-IP networks, legacy to all-IP migration challenges, and the roles of various access technologies in the context of current and emerging mobile Internet technology standards.

"The economics of traditional voice centric mobile networks cannot profitably support high bandwidth data services and thus IP architectures are becoming critical elements in the delivery of ubiquitous mobile broadband services," said Christman. "To stay on top of the game, NTT Communications Global IP Network, a Tier 1 IP backbone which interconnects four continents with high-performance IPv4 and IPv6 capability, has continuously been upgraded to accommodate such development."
