Glorious achievements over two decades
The last 20 years have seen HGC expanding network coverage and enriching a service portfolio via an extensive fibre network that now runs to more than 1.4 million kilometres.
In 2008, HGC became the first local operator to install a fibre-optic cable system through the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Western Corridor, before extending service to the Greater Mekong Sub-region. HGC runs a robust and resilient international network that serves a growing number of international and carrier business customers across Asia, as well as in the Americas, Africa, the Middle East and Europe.
Following launch of the 3Home Broadband brand in 2011, HGC's broadband coverage exceeds 1.7 million home-passes, while more than 16,000 "hgc on air" outdoor Wi-Fi hotspots make HGC Hong Kong's largest-scale Wi-Fi service provider2 to date.
HGC entered the big data and cloud computing era aggressively and now operates as a one-stop solutions provider serving the needs of other carriers, as well as mobile operators, over-the-top (OTT) players and enterprises of all sizes. The company has also developed a thriving data centre business. Facilities in Wong Chuk Hang and Kwai Chung were designed to the tier-3, or higher, standard, while our data centre in Kwai Chung was the first in Hong Kong and mainland China to be accredited with the ISO 50001 energy management system certification. This was awarded by SGS Hong Kong Limited, one of the world's leading certification organisations.
Jennifer Tan, HTHKH's Chief Operating Officer, said: "HGC now commands a robust market position in Hong Kong's telecoms industry after 20 years of hard work. Over that time, we have made breakthrough achievements in network speed, coverage, service and other aspects, thanks to our dedicated employees and support from customers."
