New IDD-prefix 007 on fiber broadband around the world:
NCIC networks with SingTel plus ACPN2 & C2C marine cable


At the 4-day Taipei Telecom 2000 Aug 31 through Sept 03, New Century InfoComm Tech Co. Ltd. (NCIC) spearheads its features with the new IDD-prefix 007. NCIC Regulatory & PR Director Kuo Ming-Chi points out that already in the early phase of the company's operations, NCIC's new IDD-prefix can reach up to more than 200 countries around the world thanks to a well-connected network
of marine cable systems such as ACPN2, C2C, and those ria NCIC's international partner SingTel,
eg. China-US, Japan-US, TAT-14, etc. For the alternative IDD, NCIC zooms in to focus on speed, transmission quality, innovative value-added features, and many others more.

The 17,000-km C2C is foreseen to link Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines, Singapore and China. Through Singapore (SAE-ME-WE3 system) and Japanese KDD Shima and Chikura, C2C will also have connectivity to Pan Asia, Middle East, Europe and North America. C2C and APCN2 will augment each other. The APCN2 cable system will have four fibre-optic pairs, equipping it with greater network resilience and route diversity. This is important for businesses that require uninterrupted telecommunications cable capacity in the Asia-Pacific region. The APCN2 cable system, with its large bandwidth and high quality transmission technology, will adopt state-of-the-art 640 Gbits/s per fibre-optic pair and Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology to provide upgradable, future-proof transmission facilities that support Internet and e-commerce.

NCIC emphasizes the trinity' Innovation / Technologies / Services' as its core values. Kuo Ming-chi, Regulatory & PR director of NCIC points out that the company's infrastructure on a fibre-optic backbone islandwide is progressing on schedule as well as its planned officiating of services. "NCIC's investment into APCN2 and our signing up for the C2C marine cable system for a carefully laid-out route map connecting networks at home and abroad, are all evidence and proof of NCIC's persistence in, and commitment for, a fixed-line broadband future. " At the Telecom 2000 NCIC offers a glimpse into that future via a multimedia presentation in its feature attraction, the "Broadband Tunnel".

NCIC will be displaying at the TTS, booths D822, at the main TWTC. "To attract more interactions with the crowd," Kuo Ming-chi hastens to point out. "door prizes will be given away to those who can produce the latest phone bills inclusive of Internet charges but excluding billings for mobile."
