NTT Com and LANIC to Offer Global Internet Access in Laos

Tokyo, Feb 10, 2012 (JCN via COMTEX) -- NTT Communications Corp. (NTT Com) and Lao National Internet Center (LANIC) will start a collaboration to provide Internet service providers (ISPs) in Laos with global access via NTT Com's Tier-1 network.


NTT Com will work with LANIC, an affiliate of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, to establish direct connections to its Tier-1 global IP network via LANIC infrastructure. The result is expected to give ISPs a reliable service to provide end customers with enhanced and low-latency Internet access. NTT Com also will provide consultation to help local ISPs transition to IPv6 and strengthen security.

LANIC manages Laos's Internet exchange points and functions as a gateway for connections to global telecom carriers. NTT Com was selected as LANIC's first partner to establish the International Internet Gateway (IIG), a platform to which all ISPs in Laos will connect. The platform will help uplift the country's current Internet environment and performance, such as cost effectiveness and higher service stability, as well as improve the penetration rate of Internet access, which was 7% in 2010. Several local ISPs, which have connected separately to global ISPs, will now be unified through LANIC's IIG for more efficient global Internet access.
