2008-10-04
October 3, 2008 - TOKYO, JAPAN - NTT Communications Corporation
(NTT Com) announced that its 100% subsidiary NTT Com Asia Ltd. has wholly
acquired today APT Satellite Telecommunications Limited (APTT) in Hong Kong,
aiming to expand the company's Tai Po Data Center, one of the largest in Hong
Kong.
NTT Com Asia purchased APTT for approximately HK$161 million from its former
owners Skywork Corporation (55%) and Singasat Pte Limited (45%).
NTT Com Asia will now transfer its entire stake in APTT to another NTT Com
wholly owned subsidiary, NTT Worldwide Telecommunications Corporation (NTT-WT),
which owns and operates the NTT Com group's data centers around the globe.
The NTT Com Group has been offering data center services in Hong Kong since
2001, with dedicated leased space from the Tai Po Data Center as one of its
offerings. The acquisition of APTT will expand and enhance the Group's
high-quality data center services for multinational companies. The Tai Po Data
Center will help meet the growing demand for data center services among NTT Com
customers operating in Hong Kong, a gateway to Mainland China as well as a
primary hub of IT business in Asia.
According to standards established by the U.S. Telecommunications Industry
Association (TIA) and The Uptime Institute, Tai Po is a Tier 3-equivalent
facility capable of concurrently maintaining infrastructure without a single
point of failure. For risk diversification, the facility uses infrastructure
created with the networks of multiple telecommunication carriers to realize
completely redundant systems for commercial power supply, air conditioning,
uninterrupted power supply (UPS), and power generation and distribution.
Customer service offers trilingual support (Japanese, English and Chinese) on a
24-hour, 365-day basis.
