The invisible infrastructure of global connectivity

The Asia Pacific Gateway (APG) is one of the most powerful regional submarine cable systems in Asia. It connects nine countries and territories from Japan via South Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Thailand to Malaysia and Singapore. With 54.8 Tbit/s design capacity and six fiber pairs, APG offered 20 times the capacity of its main predecessor in the region when it went live in October 2016. APG is the backbone for intra-Asian data traffic and provides a critical routing alternative for countries such as Vietnam, which were previously regularly affected by cable failures on older systems. A 12-member consortium with Meta, NTT, China Mobile and other Tier 1 carriers is supporting the system.

Route & connection

APG connects Shima (Japan) and Busan (South Korea) with Chongming and Nanhui (China), Toucheng (Taiwan), Tseung Kwan O (Hong Kong), Da Nang (Vietnam), Songkhla (Thailand), Kuantan (Malaysia) and Singapore. In total, the system comprises eleven Kabellande stations in nine countries and territories. The total length is around 10,400 kilometers.
