Tyco Telecommunications was awarded a multi-million dollar contract to provide several high bandwidth, international circuits to Japan Telecom (JT) to support the carrier's growing international video broadcast transmission services. Specifically, Tyco Telecommunications will provide JT with multiple STM-16 circuits (2.488 Gbps) to connect JT's distribution facility in Tokyo with PoPs in New York City, London, Paris, Frankfurt and Amsterdam. The first of these circuits will support JT's plans to provide HDTV broadcast services for the 2004 Summer Olympics. The other high bandwidth circuits support JT's plans to provide video broadcast services between Japan, the United States and Europe for the next several years. http://www.tycotelecom.com
