High-Bandwidth Data Center Interconnect
When you need to move massive amounts of data between data centers at the lowest possible cost-per-bit, traditional leased lines stop making financial sense. We design high-bandwidth interconnect solutions using dark fiber — a product the big three Chinese carriers won't sell — combined with Private Connect circuits for path diversity. For the highest bandwidth demands (100 Gbps+), dark fiber provides superior economics: you lease glass, not a service, and scale by upgrading optics on your schedule.
Key benefits
- Dark fiber at 100 Gbps+ costs less than equivalent P2P leased line bandwidth — fundamentally different economics
- Complete optical-layer control — your transceivers, your DWDM, your protocol, no carrier restrictions
- Access dark fiber in China — a product category the big three carriers simply do not offer
- Physically diverse paths: combine dark fiber from one operator with Private Connect from another
- Single partner for dark fiber sourcing + Private Connect provisioning + colocation cross-connects
Who it's for
Content delivery networks, cloud providers, financial trading platforms, and large enterprises running data center interconnects at 100 Gbps+ where leased line costs become prohibitive. Organizations that need full control over their optical layer.
Our approach
We map your inter-data center topology, identify available dark fiber routes through our specialist operator network, and design a multi-path architecture combining dark fiber (for primary high-bandwidth links) with Private Connect circuits (for diverse backup paths). Colocation cross-connects are coordinated across facilities. We manage all operator relationships and SLA enforcement.

Cross-Border Cloud Connectivity
Connect your China infrastructure directly to AWS, Azure, and GCP across APAC, US, and Europe — at the bandwidth and price point that fits your workload. We offer the full spectrum: managed 50 Mbps-1 Gbps virtual connections through Megaport and Equinix Fabric for cost-sensitive or moderate-traffic environments, and dedicated 1-100 Gbps physical cross-connects for data-heavy production workloads. Standard cloud provider partners cannot legally establish these China-to-overseas links. We can — with full compliance documentation and multiple active enterprise customers running production today.

Financial services, healthcare, and automotive companies operating in China face a triple challenge: they need physically isolated infrastructure, compliant cross-border connectivity, and local operational support — all while navigating CSL, DSL, PIPL, and MLPS 2.0 regulations. We design and deliver complete infrastructure packages: dedicated colocation for regulated data, Private Connect and Cloud Connect for compliant data transfer, and 24/7 bilingual operations with full compliance documentation.
