• Shareholder backing from 6 large global telcosTelstra (Australia)
Concert
WorldCom
Teleglobe
NTTCom
Japan Telecom
• Vision & support ensured success of AJC • System supplied by NEC• Project management from NDC
Asia - Pacific
• Predicted to become world’s dominant Internet region, as more countries in region embrace IT and Internet technologies.
Asia – Pacific (cont)
• Seen by many as “next big thing” in terms of explosive, exponential capacity requirements
• Change in data traffic levels (in particular Internet) from US centric towards growing need in Asia Pacific
• Increased developments of hubbing, mirroring and local content (local language)
• Over time, balancing will occur as regional and local sites develop content for the global markets
Asia-Pacific : Growth
• Growth in capacity demand being driven by Internet and
International Lease services
• Greater than 80% of demand in Australia is originating on Eastern
seaboard
Growth in Mesh Networks
• Advantages of buy vs. build
• Time to market is almost instant
• Diversity of traffic & route options
• Better accommodates imminent technology developments (purchasers have greater control of pseudo networks)
• Over time, interconnection options increase, giving expanded reach and capacity
Network Capacity Goals
• Initially equipped 40 + 40 Gbps
• Currently planning to bring first upgrade of another 40 + 40 Gbps forward from late
2003
• Further expansion of capacity & products in response to demand
AJC Advantages
• STM-1 (MIU) priced competitively• Targets North Asia and North America• Diverse connectivity options• Aggregated Volume discounts• Multiple payment options• Highly capable team• Proven route - highly resilient to failure• State of the art technology• Highly reliable system design
