Awards for Outstanding Performance
Technology & capacity
APG was supplied entirely by NEC Corporation and has six fiber pairs with DWDM transmission technology.
- 6 fiber pairs: 54.8 Tbps design capacity (128 × 40 Gbps, upgradeable to 100 Gbps per wavelength)
- NEC as sole supplier: complete end-to-end system responsibility by one supplier
- 20 times the capacity of AAG: massive leap for Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia
- Critical route redundancy: direct Japan-Southeast Asia connection without risky North Pacific route
Provider Overview
SAVECALL as access to APG
APG is the central backbone system for companies with APAC locations in South East Asia and North Asia, a consortium system with twelve international members that requires direct market knowledge. SAVECALL knows the capacity structure on APG, the available handover points and the relevant carriers offering wholesale capacity on this system. We source directly without a reseller chain and negotiate structures that fit the specific requirements of international corporate networks. We provide full price benchmarking against SJC, SJC2 and other APAC cable options to ensure you always make the best technical and commercial decision.

Frequently asked questions about the APG cable
APG connects nine countries and territories from Japan and South Korea via China, Taiwan and Hong Kong to Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. In total the system comprises eleven landing stations. This makes it one of the most important backbones for intra-Asian data traffic.
APG offers a design capacity of 54.8 Tbit/s across six fiber pairs with DWDM technology. At launch in 2016 that was around 20 times the capacity of the predecessor system AAG. APG was built entirely by NEC as sole supplier.
APG is supported by a consortium of twelve international carriers, including Meta, NTT and China Mobile. This consortium structure makes direct capacity access complex, which is why market knowledge and direct partnerships with the members are decisive.
It depends on capacity needs, site mix and redundancy. APG offers an established backbone with broad country coverage, SJC a particularly earthquake-resistant route, and SJC2 the highest capacity with 400G. SAVECALL compares the systems vendor-neutrally and often recommends a combination rather than a single cable.
True resilience only comes from physically separate systems, not from two carriers on the same cable. In the region, APG, SJC, SJC2 and newer systems such as ADC can be combined into diverse routes. SAVECALL checks where your existing connections physically overlap and plans an independent second route.
Companies get capacity on APG through direct contracts with the consortium members, not through reseller chains. SAVECALL negotiates IRU structures and leased capacity models directly, benchmarks transparently against SJC, SJC2 and other APAC options and plans redundancy at the same time.
