New York, USA – July 9, 2018 – NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the global data and IP services arm of telecom leader NTT (TYO: 9432), announced today that the company is expanding its award-winning Tier-1 Global IP Network with a new Point-of-Presence (PoP) in Dublin, Ireland, at Equinix's DB1 data center. This new PoP will support the growing demand for high-quality IP transit services from global companies and organizations that have established their European headquarters and/or operational organizations in Dublin.

The PoP is located at Equinix's DB1 data center in Dublin, one of the most densely connected IBX® facilities in Ireland.
