The award acknowledges HKIS-1 at data centre standard (ANSI/TIA-942 certified) with direct backhaul access to MEGA Campus including MEGA-i, the most carrier-dense colocation site in the world1.

The award win not only solidifies SUNeVision's technological excellence with the innovative cable landing stations, but our commitment to offering unmatched connectivity solutions for empowering the digital economy and helping businesses thrive. This achievement has placed importance to our prominent position in the subsea space. Our carrier and cloud-neutral facilities would be the ideal location for partners who look for connectivity to multiple cables systems and providers. HKIS-1 will support the growing number of submarine cables coming onwards, strengthening Hong Kong's position as an interconnection hub between the world and mainland China.'
