A group of telecom operators and data center providers in Southeast Asia have formed an alliance named ASEAN Connect.One, aiming to streamline collaboration on connectivity services among data centers, carriers, and OTT players in the region.
The founding members of this alliance include APT Satellite, FPT International Telecom, Interlink Telecom, Neocom ISP, NTC Asia, SEAX Global, and Telin. Collectively, ASEAN Connect.One manages over 10,000 km of network infrastructure spanning Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the alliance announced its objective to offer clients a standardized suite of services under the ASEAN Connect.One brand. This initiative is designed to ensure reliability, scalability, and efficiency in connectivity and data center management solutions.
Alliance members will combine their resources and expertise to facilitate one-stop shopping, single-end billing, and unified operational processes, aiming to reduce installation and maintenance lead times. This approach will enable OTT platforms to deliver content more efficiently, ensuring seamless streaming experiences for users across borders and potentially paving the way for innovative content delivery solutions.
“The alliance’s one-stop shop delivers high SLA with borderless connectivity supported by a suite of fully redundant terrestrial, submarine cable, and satellite networks, promising a short lead time for seamless integration,” the ASEAN Connect.One statement reads.
