NTT Communications to Share Industry Views with Global Carrier Community at Capacity Europe 2017 in London

Executives from NTT Communications (NTT Com), the global data and IP services arm of Fortune Global 500 telecom leader NTT (TYO: 9432), will play a prominent speaking role at this year’s Capacity Europe conference in London – Europe’s largest annual meeting for the global carrier community.

During the conference, which runs October 24-26 at the Intercontinental London 02, NTT Com executives will participate in three panels that provide expert analysis and perspective on trending industry topics including the Internet of Things (IoT), network security and the importance of innovation and leadership.

NTT Com is in a unique position to address global wholesale trends and opportunities as the global carrier consistently ranks as one of the top IP network providers worldwide.

“Coming together as an industry to share insights and perspective is not only beneficial to the companies attending Capacity Europe but, more importantly, the customers that we collectively serve,” said Michael Wheeler, executive vice president of NTT Communications Global IP Network at NTT America.

Mr. Wheeler will speak on the panel entitled “The Internet of Things and Meeting Data Demands” that takes place at 2 p.m. local time on Tuesday, October 24. The session will explore the steps IP providers are taking to handle the levels of data IoT devices demand from their networks as well as innovate their business models to benefit from the growth of IoT applications.

Brent Duncan, senior vice president of Sales & Marketing of NTT Communications Global IP Network at NTT America, will take part in a panel that focuses on “Confidence, Innovation & Leadership,” scheduled to take place at 2:15 p.m. local time on Wednesday, October 25. The session, that will be moderated by Alan Burkitt-Grey, executive editor of Capacity Media and Global Telecoms Business, will take a closer look at an exclusive global research study monitoring the most important issues affecting senior international telecom executives.
