Arelion has announced a new Point-of-Presence (PoP) in Tokyo, Japan at AT TOKYO’s carrier-neutral data center, Chuo Center #1 (CC1).
The new PoP is Arelion’s second Tokyo PoP and third Japan PoP after its Osaka PoP – expanding Arelion’s global reach to provide wholesale and enterprise customers in Japan and the APAC region.
Chuo Center #1 – one of the largest in Japan – has developed a substantial ecosystem of global Internet carriers, Internet Service Providers, cloud providers and enterprises, enabling Arelion to support its customers’ business expansions through scalable connectivity to cloud, communications, Internet Exchanges and content services.
Chuo Center #1 is designed to mitigate natural disasters, enabling Arelion to provide redundant, resilient connectivity services to wholesale and enterprise customers seeking direct access to APAC markets.
Due to its strategic location, Arelion’s second Tokyo PoP will provide accessibility to subsea landing stations in the future, with plans to connect Arelion’s backbone directly into Chuo Center #1. This will provide fully diverse connectivity out of Japan in addition to Arelion’s Osaka PoP, building on Arelion’s networking strategy in the APAC region.
Arelion’s AS1299 is directly connected to over 70 percent of global Internet routes and has been ranked by Kentik as the #1 backbone in Asia.
“By bringing our #1 ranked Internet backbone to AT TOKYO, we will enhance our presence in Tokyo, extending our reach to Japan’s financial center in Tokyo for our enterprise customers,” said Wee Kwan, Head of APAC, Arelion.
