Fixed Line

Hutchison Global Communications (HGC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa, has been committed to building a brand new full fibre optic network since it began operations in 1995. Today, HGC owns and operates the largest full fibre optic network in Hong Kong. This state-of-the-art telecommunications network reaches into every corner of the territory and consists of more than 3,500 kilometres of ducting and over 350,000 kilometres of core fibre optic cable, 175 times the total length of roads and highways throughout Hong Kong.

To enhance Hong Kong's competitiveness as a major communications hub in the region, HGC is contributing a global telecommunications network to ensure that Hong Kong emerges as one of the most connected cities in the world. HGC has been directly connected to China Telecom's Synchronous Digital Hierarchy Ring since 2000, making it the first new Hong Kong fixed network provider to offer direct telecommunication links with the Mainland. Transcending geographical boundaries, HGC provides instant global connectivity between Hong Kong, major cities in Asia as well as in North America and Europe. HGC offers unlimited scalability through its substantial bandwidth in global submarine cable systems.

Leveraging HGC's self-built, full fibre optic network with its unlimited scalability and global connectivity, the company has gained a strong foothold in the local fixed network industry. HGC delivers unsurpassed services to diverse users, spanning business and residential customers, schools, hospitals, local communities as well as other network carriers. Core services include:

Broadband Services - HGC delivers broadband technology that leads the market in speed and quality in Hong Kong. Among its broadband service breakthroughs, HGC was the first to offer GigaEthernet technology and world leading 10Mbps symmetrical transmission speeds, to provide seamless broadband access to customers. Over the years, HGC has been named the best broadband service provider by many major publications in Hong Kong.

Data Services - In today's information-centred economy, HGC's full fibre optic network provides unlimited capacity for the transmission of high volume and mission-critical data. This versatile network provides efficient and cost-effective information solutions for business customers, government bodies and network carriers.

Voice Services - No telecommunications package would be complete without voice and International Direct Dialling (IDD) services. The quality of HGC's services in this area speak for themselves. They have grown and thrived since the company's establishment. Today HGC is the second largest phone service operator in Hong Kong and the first new fixed network provider to offer services to public housing residents.

International Connectivity - Together with its partnerships with international network carriers, HGC is ensuring the most efficient and effective telecommunications network for the transmission of quality data and voice services. The company is particularly proud of the overwhelming response received for its International Private Leased Circuit Business into Mainland China.

Every member of staff at HGC is fully committed to providing friendly and helpful services that offer total satisfaction to customers. HGC recently has been selected as one of the most Competitive Carriers from a leading telecommunications publication in the region, highlighting the industry's recognition of the company's service efforts.

HGC's commitment to build Hong Kong's largest total fibre optic network has helped to shape the future of Hong Kong's telecommunications industry. Its facilities enhance telecommunications services and facilitate a barrier-free platform where the global community can communicate and transact their business.
