KVH Telecom, Internap Partner To Offer IP For Teleconferences

KVH Telecom Co., a Tokyo-based communications firm affiliated with U.S.-based fund manager Fidelity, has tied up with U.S. Net access provider Internap to provide corporate customers with access to low-cost Internet Protocol circuits for teleconferences between Japan and the U.S. Usage fees offered by the two firms are expected to be about 30% less than the monthly fees of 600,000 yen charged by the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. group for similar services, provided via an integrated services digital network (ISDN). KVH Telecom will provide teleconference services for about 800 companies, mainly banks, in Tokyo and Osaka, through local IP circuits based on optical fiber networks. Internap handles the long-distance IP circuit business linking Japan and the U.S. In the U.S., it provides the service to about 1,600 firms. The tie-up will combine their respective strengths in local and long-distance services, offering IP circuits with a transmission speed of 1-100 megabits per second according to customer needs.
