Telstra today announced it has expanded its world-first \u2018Always On\u2019 service to provide more bandwidth options and lower latency on some of Asia\u2019s busiest subsea cable routes \u2013 Hong Kong to Singapore and Japan to Hong Kong. gear4 iphone 6 case d30<\/a> The service utilises the unmatched scale and diversity of Telstra\u2019s cable network in the Asia Pacific region to reroute traffic to another path, even in the event of a cable cut or damage due to a natural disaster. Paul Abfalter, Director International at Telstra said: \u201cLast year\u2019s introduction of our \u2018Always On\u2019 service guarantee was targeted at customers with large capacity requirements of between 10GB and 1TB. We are now expanding this service by introducing lower bandwidth options from 1GB with the flexibility for customers to scale up as needed.\u201d \u201cThis enhancement, combined with our ultra-low latency connectivity across these key routes will be particularly beneficial for organisations in the financial services industry, where speed and reliability between global financial hubs are vital,\u201d he said. iphone 6 ring holder case<\/a> Complementing the \u2018Always On\u2019 service, Telstra also has the lowest latency routes in the market between key financial hubs in the Asia Pacific region. \u201cWe now have average speeds of 28.8m\/s between the Singapore (SGX) and Hong Kong (HKEX) Exchanges, 177.8m\/s between the Australian (ASX) and Chicago (CME) Exchanges, 178.2m\/s between Equinix\/CERMAK (EQCH) in Chicago and the ASX, and 41.9m\/s and 13.9m\/s respectively between Singapore to Taiwan and Hong Kong to Taiwan,\u201d said Mr Abfalter. \u201cBusinesses expect to be able to connect anywhere at any time and meeting these expectations can be difficult when it comes to international connectivity. unicorn iphone 7 plus case<\/a> This is particularly the case in the Asia Pacific region where more than any other region globally, cables are at risk of service disruptions due to cable cuts caused by shipping activity, earthquakes and typhoons. iphone 8 case strong<\/a> Damage from these events can take weeks or sometimes months to fix.\u201d \u201cWe were first in the region to develop \u2018resilience as a service\u2019 across the busy Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan triangle so customer services are restored within hours for their subscribed bandwidth, using one primary path and two protection paths over different cable systems along the same route.\u201d \u201cCustomers also benefit from cost savings associated with managing multiple vendors and paying for spare capacity that may not be used, while the assured availability helps improve the experience they provide their end users,\u201d said Mr Abfalter. Telstra\u2019s subsea cable network is the largest and most diverse in the Asia Pacific, accounting for up to 30 per cent of active intra-regional capacity. iphone 8 silicone case gold<\/a> It is this diversity that enables Telstra to reroute traffic impacted by a cable cut onto another path to minimise downtime. \u201cAs cloud computing and the number and variety of digital devices in use worldwide continues to increase, so too does the demand for the international networks, like subsea cables, needed to keep them connected. good iphone 6 case<\/a> Nowhere is this more apparent than in Asia, which is now home to almost half the world\u2019s internet consumers and where tens of millions of new services are enabled every year,\u201d said Mr Abfalter. \u201cOur subsea network is a key part of our international growth strategy and the services we provide to large and emerging cloud and content companies, global and regional mobile and service providers, as well as multinational corporations requiring connectivity across APAC. We will continue to invest to maintain our network leadership, and that includes leveraging our network strength to deliver innovative products like \u2018Always On\u2019 for our customers,\u201d added Mr Abfalter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
