As early as now, we\u2019re preparing for the region\u2019s capacity needs, as far ahead as 10-15 years down the road,\u201d said Converge CEO and Co-Founder Dennis Anthony Uy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the outset, the SEA H2X is intended to be a state-of-the-art, high-capacity fiber-optic submarine cable system that will address the increasing telecommunications traffic capacity demands within the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SEA-H2X has six landing points in Southeast Asia : Hong Kong SAR (Tseung Kwan O), China (Lingshui), Malaysia (Kuching), Philippines (La Union), Singapore (Tuas), and Thailand (Songkhla).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a system design capacity of 160 Tbps (terabits per second), SEA-H2X aims to further increase the international capacity and reinforce the resiliency of its undersea fiber links within the Asia Pacific region.&nbsp; Ultimately, it is intended to provide superior connectivity to subscribers and businesses in the Philippines; it is seen to benefit institutions seen as large consumers of bandwidth such as outsourcing and offshore industry, including major contact centers, business process outsourcing providers, global financial institutions and a host of other multinationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aside from Converge, other members of the SEA-H2X consortium are China Mobile International Limited (CMI), China United Network Communications Group Company Limited. (CU), AP SEA H2X Sdn. Bhd (AP SEA-H2X, previously known as IRIX SEA-H2X and PPTEL SEA-H2X), while HMN Technologies Ltd. has been engaged to build the cable system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;As an important large-bandwidth submarine system in the region, SEA-H2X will further upgrade connectivity to Hong Kong SAR, Hainan SEZ and Southeast Asia countries, boosting unimpeded trade, communication, financial integration along the route,&#8221; said Dr. Meng Shusen, Chairman and President, CU.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cBuilding up the Converge international cabling capacity has always been a long-term investment and today, we see a major development on that front.
