Hong Kong – 24 June
2004 – CPCNet Hong Kong Limited (CPCNet), a CITIC
Pacific Company (SEHK: 267), announced the launch of
GlobalCONNECT, a family of Private Leased Networks including
MIPLC (Managed International Private Leased Circuit),
ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) and Frame Relay, fulfilling
the international connectivity portfolio of the New
Generation Carrier.
Spanning over 30 countries, GlobalCONNECT delivers
flexible and easy to manage connectivity, bringing MNCs
over the world into Greater China. Enabled by the carrier’s
state-of-the-art multi-service platform, GlobalCONNECT
offers unique managed network service that allows end-to-end
monitoring of network performance, down to the customer
equipment level.
In addition, GlobalCONNECT guarantees resilience through
IPSec/MPLS tunnel diversity. IPSec tunnel is a cost
effective alternative to the common practice of using
costly Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) to
route traffic during fail-over. GlobalCONNECT further
enhances the reliability by tunnelling through CPCNet’s
unique private IP backbone.
“GlobalCONNECT is definitely a highly reliable and
cost-effective corporate network that caters for the
needs of MNCs and SMEs. With added diversity and network
monitoring down to customer edge level, GlobalCONNECT
offers an ultimate managed network solution to customers
” said Mr. David Ho, Chief Operating Officer of CPCNet.
“GlobalCONNECT offers customers fully redundant private
leased line network across countries and continents.
With the addition of GlobalCONNECT, CPCNet offers a
complete set of managed network services portfolio to
cater for the needs of MNCs and SMEs.”
From real-time video to voice traffic and LAN traffic,
GlobalCONNECT is particularly suitable for hub or mesh
networks that transport multiple broadband applications
over the same network infrastructure.
“Our product innovation is the result of a team that
comprises of the most accomplished telecom experts and
veterans, representing decades of solid telecommunications
and networking experience, particularly at incumbent
telecom carriers. ” said Mr. Joel Ma, Vice President,
Product Development and Global Data Business of CPCNet.
Supported on a 24x7 basis by an experienced multilingual
customer service team, GlobalCONNECT is also protected
by self-healing cable systems, fault-tolerant network
routing and underlying supplier diversity, making it
