NTT Communications' (NTT Com) position as a global telecommunications giant was emphasized in August when the Asian Submarine-cable Express (ASE) went online. NTT Com was a key partner in the development of this 4,500-mile fiber communication channel that links the major business hubs of Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong and Manila, allowing highspeed communications (with the capability of incorporating 100Gbps technology) between them. The cable's path minimizes latency, and keeps away from earthquake and typhoon zones, making it attractive for international financial houses.
