Asia’s largest-capacity cable line to become operational
The Asia Pacific Gateway (APG) submarine fiber optic cable line will be operational in Vietnam, according to the Vietnam Post and Telecommunication Group (VNPT).

APG Submarine Cable system


The operation of the network aims to increase international transmission capacity and reduce dependence on the Asia-America Gateway (AAG). The APG boasts a capacity of 54 Tbps, the highest of any network in Asia. It is also 20 times more than the AAG.

With a total length of approximately 10,400 km, the cable line connects mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, the Republic of Korea (RoK), Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

Initiated in 2009, the APG is a partnership between Chunghwa Telecom (Taiwan-China), China Telecom (China), China Unicom (China), KT Corporation (RoK), NTT Communications (Japan), PLDT (the Philippines), Telekom Malaysia (Malaysia) and VNPT (Vietnam).

VNPT has also been investing in an Asia Africa Euro (AAE) 1 cable system, connecting countries in Asia, Africa and Europe. The cable line is expected to operate in 2017.-VNA

Does this mean I will be able to play Chinese online games (Moonlight Blade, Tianyu Revelations, etc.) in their CN servers from North America with much much less lag now?

No. the two new fiber cables have no links to North America. But hey why don't you try to convince Donald Trump to spend some dollars establishing a link between America and Vietnam?

Win win for all

You can play Doom faster online

No, trans-pacific connection is the same before. As long as that bottleneck remains, the lag will be there.

Well, since we have working prototype for quantum entanglement encryption now, it is just a matter of time to advance that to data transfer.

AAE-1 fibre cable will become operational by the year-end, connecting Vietnam with 2 Tbit to Europe and Africa
