Hong Kong Internet Exchange (HKIX) is the largest internet exchange in Asia by number of connected networks. This massive peering ecosystem means traffic from Hong Kong reaches virtually any Asian destination through direct, efficient paths rather than circuitous routes through distant hubs.
Latency from Hong Kong is unmatched for pan-Asian services: approximately 5ms to Shenzhen, 30ms to Tokyo, 35ms to Singapore, 40ms to Seoul, and 50ms to Sydney. The direct connectivity to mainland China through multiple cross-border fiber links makes Hong Kong uniquely valuable for services that need to reach Chinese users.
Multiple submarine cable systems terminate in Hong Kong, including AAG, APG, ASE, and TGN-IA, providing diverse high-capacity routes to the rest of Asia, the Pacific, and beyond. This redundancy ensures reliable connectivity even during cable outages that might affect other Asian locations.
