The Asia Link Cable Hong Kong landing marks a major milestone for China Telecom as the submarine cable reached the Chung Hom Kok Cable Landing Station on May 14, 2026. This achievement moves the project closer to full commercial operation and strengthens regional connectivity.
The Asia Link Cable (ALC) spans approximately 6,200 kilometers and connects key markets, including Hong Kong, Hainan, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, and Malaysia. In addition, the system delivers a total design capacity exceeding 325 Tb/s, making it one of the highest-capacity routes between Hong Kong and Singapore.

High-Capacity Network Supports Digital Growth
The Asia Link Cable Hong Kong landing supports rising demand for high-bandwidth and low-latency connectivity. As cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and digital applications expand, the ALC system will provide reliable infrastructure for data transmission across the Asia-Pacific region.
China Telecom led the project as the primary investor and managed every phase, including planning, design, and construction. As a result, the company continues to strengthen its international communications network and expand its regional presence.
Once operational, the system will add more than 100 Tb/s of bandwidth capacity for China Telecom. Furthermore, it will improve connectivity between Hainan, Hong Kong, Macao, and Southeast Asia while supporting broader regional initiatives.
The Chung Hom Kok Cable Landing Station also plays a key role as China Telecom’s first self-built international landing station outside mainland China. Therefore, it will support future submarine cable projects and reinforce Hong Kong’s position as a major communications hub.
