WOBURN, Mass. -- Acme Packetä today announced that NTT Communications (NTT Com), the Tokyo-based global IP solution company, has selected the Net-Netä session border controllers to meet the high availability and security requirements for their commercial network. The multiprotocol support (SIP, H.323, MGCP) with interworking functionality (SIP-H.323, H.323-H.323) in Acme Packet’s carrier-class solution, and critical security features such as hosted NAT traversal, access control, topology hiding, and denial of service (DoS) protection, all contributed to NTT Com’s decision to deploy Acme Packet.

NTT Com, the Tokyo-based subsidiary of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, provides long-distance and international services for voice, video and data communication reaching business and residential subscribers in more than 200 countries.

“NTT Com’s selection of Acme Packet from among all of the session border controller vendors in the market is another extremely strong endorsement that our Net-Net products meet and exceed all of the requirements of a tier one service provider ,” commented Andy Ory, president and CEO, Acme Packet. “We are extremely proud to be working with NTT Com – one of the world’s leading service providers – to help them deliver secure, high-quality IP communications to their business and residential customers.

Today’s announcement follows closely on the heels of a string of customer announcements from Acme Packet that spans the Asian, European and North American markets and that includes other tier one service providers Fusion Communications and Global Crossing. Acme Packet’s customer roster was also a strong factor in NTT Com’s conclusion that the Net-Net products are the foremost session border controllers the market has to offer and unrivalled in terms of breadth of protocols and depth of features.

“Acme Packet continues to secure customer wins with Tier 1 and 2 service providers,” said Claudia Bacco, President of TeleChoice, Inc. “Their customers have deployed the Net-Net products to support applications for service provider peering, hosted IP services, and voice ASP services; showing field performance in each of these areas.”
