About the webinar:
Accurate IP geolocation plays a critical role in delivering seamless digital experiences, enabling efficient content distribution, and supporting location-based services. Yet, outdated or inconsistent geolocation data can lead to operational challenges, particularly for organizations managing or leasing IPv4 address space.
Our colleague Massimo Candela, Principal Software Development Engineer at the Global IP Network division of NTT DATA, will explore how industry standards, including RFC 9092 and RFC 9632, are transforming IP geolocation by enabling network operators to publish and maintain authoritative geolocation information directly—reducing reliance on third-party updates and improving geolocation accuracy.
Complementing this session, Sreekanth Vasudev, Sales Engineer at the Global IP Network division of NTT DATA, will share IPv4 leasing best practices and the key considerations organizations should evaluate when sourcing IPv4 address space. He will also explain how our Global IP Network helps organizations maximize the value of their IP assets with clean, reliable, and accurately geolocated IPv4 address space.
In this webinar, you will learn about:
- Leveraging industry standards to improve the accuracy and operational management of your IP geolocation data
- How NTT DATA and our Global IP Network ensure leased IPv4 address space is clean, reliable, and correctly geolocated to meet your business and customer requirements
- IPv4 leasing best practices and key considerations when sourcing IPv4 address space
- How our Global IP Network helps organizations maximize the value of their IP assets
