Collaboration on new products development
NTT MSC's focus is not only on the commercial aspects of ISP
operations. It also serves as a test bed and technology bridge
for next-generation multimedia and IT services and applications
developed by NTT MSC and NTT Communications.
NTT MSC aims to explore a full range of applications from
public service oriented to applications that will hopefully
transform the structure of businesses in Malaysia and the
region.NTT MSC has been working on the new technology, IPv6
since 1998 and is actively involved in the Asia-Pacific Advanced
Network (APAN) IPv6 Working Group. In addition, it has established
joint research activities with numerous local universities
and institutions of higher learning.
NTT MSC together with Maxis Communications and Jaring formed
the My6 service provider initiative in 2003. This initiative
has grown to include other service providers such as Telekom
Malaysia, TT dotCom, AtlasOne and Celcom. The aim of this
collaboration is for service providers to establish a joint
IPv6 network interconnectivity for the purpose of conducting
production level trials and exploring the next generation
IP services in Malaysia. Members collaborate to leverage on
each member's strength and expertise in order to establish
a native IPv6 network platform for purposes of future development
and promotion of IPv6. NTT MSC has contributed to this collaboration
via technology transfer of this protocol in terms of IPv6
addressing policies, training, network design, and the supply
of IPv6 enabled devices. |

Support for ICT industry
NTT MSC provides local Application Service Provider (ASP)
network operators affordable IP (Internet Protocol) connectivity
and offers a wide range of services such as IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack
services, telco independent network access, and increased
service support via its Global Internet Network (GIN) services.
Together with the single autonomous system (AS) network design,
local network operators can offer customers high quality Internet
access.
In addition, the GIN network helps local ASP network operators
to reduce initial capital and operational expenditure on network
design since the GIN network owned by NTT MSC offers multiple
links to provide 100 percent resiliency to all connected clients.
Through the GIN network, licensed ASPs can offer services
other than Internet access, such as voice over IP (VoIP) and
messaging services.
On top of this, local ASPs can leverage on NTT MSC and NTT
Communications IP technological advancements to offer next-generation
IP services. This movement certainly not only helps to realize
the importance of ICT but also promotes ICT industry growth
and development in Malaysia. |
