NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the global data and IP
services arm of Fortune Global 500 telecom leader NTT (NYSE: NTT),
and Omantel, a leading GCC wholesale communication solutions
provider, announced today an agreement to collaborate on wholesale
IP services at several locations worldwide.
This agreement creates considerable synergies for both companies
in several markets around the world in terms of reach, bandwidth
capacity and market expertise, and builds on a shared commitment to
further improving the service portfolio available to their
customers around the world.
“We are delighted to partner with Omantel and look forward to a
strong and mutually beneficial collaboration,” said Clive Hamilton,
vice president of Network Services – EMEA at NTT Europe. “NTT Com
is a trusted partner that can quickly respond to growth in demand
for high performance wholesale IP capacity without compromising
quality,” Mr. Hamilton added.
"We are committed to further extending our customers’ regional
and global reach and help them achieve their business goals,” said
Sohail Qadir, Vice President Wholesale Business, Omantel. “As the
owner and operator of one of the region’s largest networks, we
strive to provide services that exceed our customers’ expectations,
and we are confident that this collaboration will help us reach
that goal,” Mr. Qadir concluded.
This collaboration will expand the reach of NTT Com’s Tier-1
Global IP Network and offer Omantel’s enterprise and wholesale
customers more options to connect at several locations around the
world. Similarly, Omantel will provide NTT Com with low-latency
backbone capacity that will further enhance the robustness and
reliability of NTT Com’s IP backbone.
