In what specific areas is the next-generation
network (NGN) being used?

One key example is NGN's contribution to
the growth of the software-as-a-service (SaaS) market.

The NTT Group has led the world in NGN development and launched commercial NGN-based services in March 2008. Our NGN offers higher performance and better security than presently possible over the Internet, and enables users to freely access and link to numerous applications. We anticipate that this will lead to numerous future applications of the NGN including telemedicine and teleworking. SaaS makes the most of NGN features and has sparked growing use of the NGN.

SaaS is an on-demand software deployment model for delivering required software solutions to users as needed. We offer a secure environment for SaaS use via our NGN, and help to drive the growth of the SaaS market in Japan by equipping our SaaS platform with attractive features for the development and sale of software applications and services by SaaS vendors and otherwise promoting its use by both SaaS vendors and users.
