4,600km cable length
Linking Australia & Asia with new Sub-sea Network infrastructure.
The Vocus Communications Australia Singapore Cable (ASC) was commissioned as Ready for Service on 14 September 2018.
The ASC is a 4,600km submarine cable system linking Perth, Western Australia, to Singapore, via Indonesia.
The four-pair fibre network can deliver up to 60Tbps of capacity and offer an approximate 30% reduction in latency from Sydney to Singapore compared to alternative routes.
The ASC, which is solely owned by Vocus Communications, extends the reach of the company’s 21,000km fibre network, delivering connectivity, bandwidth and reliability to consumers and business as the world becomes more data-driven.
