Case Studies

In a technology landscape that changes by the month, networks and data face new attacks every day. Rather than describe our own capabilities, we prefer to let customers explain how they solved specific problems with us.

Hotel fiber in Shenzhen — In tier-one cities such as Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing, essentially every hotel above three-star grade leases a fiber circuit. Hotel internet has to serve internal staff and guests at the same time, and guest expectations vary widely. Working with hotels over many years, we have grouped their requirements into four recurring points: high bandwidth with many concurrent users; internal servers that need fixed IP addresses; frequent access to overseas sites; and predictable routing and fault handling from the hotel IT team.

Foreign enterprise networking — More and more foreign companies open branches and representative offices in mainland China and run into the same problem: the mainland internet does not interconnect cleanly with networks in Europe and North America. The symptoms are familiar — email that will not send or receive, very slow access to overseas sites, overseas sites that will not open at all, poor Skype call quality, ERP systems that will not load or that drop the session. For an export-oriented business, an ordinary internet line simply does not work.

The bottleneck is most obvious between the former regional carriers. A 10 Mbps line in the south and a 10 Mbps line in the north can deliver only a few hundred kbps when transferring files between them, because the two networks restrict each other. International access hits a similar wall at the cross-border gateway.

Our answer is a dedicated international circuit: simple to implement, fast to install and immediately measurable. Because the circuit can be tested before commitment, it suits companies that want to control cost without accepting an unstable network. It is used by foreign-invested enterprises, trading companies, shipping lines, international brokerage firms and representative offices.

Overseas access acceleration — If your mail server sits in the United States or Hong Kong, if the group EDI system is painfully slow, or if overseas sites frequently fail to load, the cause is usually the limited international gateway capacity combined with filtering at the border. An acceleration circuit routes that traffic over a dedicated international path instead, which lifts throughput and stability for branch offices in China that exchange data with headquarters abroad.

Compared with a classic IPLC, the acceleration circuit is faster to install, cheaper per megabit, and easier to scale. Ask us for a short trial so your team can measure the difference on your own applications.
