"Winning these awards shows that NTT Com has retained its positions as the leading global wholesale IP provider," the Global Carrier Awards Judging Panel said in a statement.
"Most recently, it has expanded its global Tier-1 network in North America, entered new markets in Europe and Asia and increased the reach of its submarine cables."

NTT Com is one of the world’s leading wholesale IP providers and its Tier-1 Global IP Network is consistently ranked among the top networks worldwide.

In 2014 NTT Com established new connection points to its global IP backbone in Europe, Asia and North America.

The company opened a new PoP in Luxembourg built exclusively on 100GE network links.

NTT Com also expanded into several RagingWire and CoreSite facilities in North America and opened a new PoP in Bangkok.

NTT Com broke new ground last year when it became the first carrier to deploy 100G Ethernet technologies on its PC-1 subsea cable system – a 21,000km network linking Japan with the US.

The company is also rolling out the technology on its Asia Submarine Express cable.
