NTT Com to Launch Global Voice/Video Unified Solution

NTT Communications (NTT Com) launched an IP-based service package combining voice and video communications (G-V2oIP) under its Arcstar Global IP-VPN brand. The new service rides over the company's MPLS network. Under new service package, NTT Com provides free VoIP-based voice communications on private corporate networks (on-net calling) spanning the globe, outgoing call placement to the public network (off-net calling), a teleconferencing service (including a collaboration function1 that allows conference participants to share screen images), and a videoconferencing service. The services are made possible by the call agent function2 incorporated within G-V2oIP running on an Arcstar Global IP-VPN. This function enables configuring an international corporate voice network even when branch offices have different VoIP environments.



Vendors currently supported are NEC, Avaya and Cisco (with this number to be steadily increased in the future). SIP and H.323 protocols are supported. The full on-net service is scheduled to be available in 88 countries (with off-net calling possible to destinations in 220 countries and regions throughout the world). http://www.ntt.com
