The Internet continues to expand day by day, and where it will end no one knows.
Broadband access is becoming ever more widespread, with approximately 35 million households or workplaces throughout Japan. In 2011, fiber optic cables (FTTH: Fiber to the Home) acount for approximately 60% of all broadband lines, and high-speed,large-capacity networks are expanding to homes as well as workplaces. From the service aspect also, the convergence of communication and broadcasting finally started, with the full-scale expansion of next-generation network (NGN) and the start of IP rebroadcasting of digital terrestrial TV broadcasting.
Recently, in addition to traditional e-mail and web access, usage of the Internet is more closely related to daily life, such as on-line shopping, on-line games, blogs, SNS, widgets, etc. And nowadays a wide variety of devices, such as cellular phones, game devices, and home appliances, are using for the Internet access. As a result, the Internet becomes one of the essential infrastructure like the public services, such as waterworks, electricity, gas, and telephone.
In this environment, NTT SMARTCONNECT has been offering to mainly corporate customers the Internet platforms which are essential to B-to-C and B-to-B businesses. In the 10 years passed since our company's establishment, numerous customers have used our various services, such as housing services,hosting services, streaming services, etc.
The technologies which comprise the Internet, such as SaaS, cloud computing, IPv6, etc. are evolving day by day. At the same time, since the power consumed by computers continues to expand, it is necessary to consider ways to reduce their environmental impact. We can contribute to the growth of optical broadband networks and "smart" living for everyone based on our IP platforms, proactive usage of latest technologies and consideration of the environment.
