 National broadband innovator Internode has boosted its
international capabilities by establishing a major Point of Presence in Japan that equips it to give customers fast and
secure broadband links into Asia.
By establishing a Japanese junction on one of its North
American data links, Internode has improved the speed of data transfers between
Australia and Asia, which
previously routed through the US.
The Japanese jump-off point simplifies the process of
establishing peering agreements with partners in Japan
and elsewhere in Asia. It also enables
Internode to offer its corporate customers the security of an Internode
Business Connect private IP network, linking operations in Australia and North Asia.
Internode national sales manager Daryl
Knight said the Japanese Point of Presence provided access to
a new market with exciting opportunities for both business and residential customers.
"In short, we are already providing this type of service to the USA, so we have
simply extended our corporate capability to Asia, the logical next step for
corporations in Australia," he said.
"With Australia's major trading partners situated to the
north, this new break-out point allows Internode to extend its corporate
services to all of Asia. As Japan
is a major inter-connect hub for regional carriers, Internode will extend its
private IP solutions to Japan
and beyond in the same way it currently provides private IP services to the USA for Australian
companies.
"Business customers
may find this boosts their ability to use Internode to reach Asian destinations
more efficiently. Residential customers should find this will improve performance
for applications such as VoIP and online gaming into significant parts of Asia. Increasingly, we'll peer with Japanese Internet
providers and content backbones.
"This step increases our differentiation in the market,
especially to business customers, by positioning Internode as one of the best Australian
ISPs for customers with Asian connections."
Internode has established its Japanese Point of Present in Tokyo with an initial 622 megabit-per-second dedicated
data link via its existing relationship with Australia-Japan Cable (AJC), which
links back to the Internode network via Sydney.
The new link went live this week with customers already reporting improved
network performance to online resources located in Asia.
Internode is a first tier IP carrier committed to using
broadband technology to redefine the national telecommunications environment.
The Australian-owned company is a trailblazer that delivers broadband services
to individuals and businesses throughout Australia.
