Innovative cable landing stations to offer one-stop-shop connectivity

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. Providers of telecommunications, cloud, ISP, CDN service interconnect with each other in MEGA Campus' colocation facilities. Building on SUNeVision's rich data centre ecosystem, the strategic addition of the cable landing stations will provide a one-stop-shop connectivity solution to cable owners and users alike.

Important milestone with Asia Direct Cable Hong Kong segment landed at HKIS-1

In January 2023, the ADC, which is the first, critical international cable landed in Hong Kong since 20172, has officially landed its Hong Kong segment at SUNeVision's HKIS-1, in addition to the new City PoP at SUNeVision's hyperscale data centre MEGA Plus. Interconnecting with MEGA-i, users of ADC Hong Kong segment either via CLS or City PoP at MEGA Plus can enjoy one-stop-shop connectivity and interconnect with hundreds of providers with high reliability and efficiency.

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.'
