Hong Kong / Bangkok, 25 February 2025 – Telehouse Thailand, a renowned global provider of data center colocation services, HGC Global Communications Limited (HGC), a fully-fledged ICT service provider and network operator with extensive global coverage, and AMS-IX (Amsterdam Internet Exchange), a world leading Internet Exchange (IX) have joined forces to enhance infrastructure and connectivity between Bangkok and London. This collaboration is set to optimize content flow between Asia and Europe, streamlining cross-continent peering and traffic exchange.
The newly established transmission infrastructure by HGC will bridge the capacity gap between continents by leveraging Telehouse Bangkok and Telehouse London. This initiative will enable uninterrupted cross-border content access and add to peering across AMS-IX Bangkok and AMS-IX Amsterdam. Additionally, customers within both locations will benefit from direct, virtual circuits without the need to activate any individual transmission layers.
This strategic partnership between Telehouse, HGC, and AMS-IX will enhance bidirectional traffic flow between Asia and Europe. Content providers in Bangkok can now easily establish direct Autonomous System Number (ASN) connections to AMS-IX Amsterdam. Additionally, European content providers and other industry players will gain direct access to Southeast Asia via Telehouse Bangkok, facilitating efficient traffic exchange between the two parties.
This expanded connectivity model simplifies intercontinental connections, encourages trials for peering and accessibility, and promotes an increase in traffic exchange between Telehouse, HGC, and AMS-IX. By eliminating the complexity of long-distance connectivity, this partnership provides a seamless, scalable, and reliable solution for content providers and enterprises looking to enhance their global reach.
Ken Miyashita, Managing Director of Telehouse Thailand, commented: “This partnership underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable, and seamless intercontinental connectivity. Telehouse strategically and continuously enhances our connectivity ecosystem, starting with this first connection to Europe. By strengthening our collaboration with HGC and AMS-IX, we are creating new opportunities for businesses in Asia and Europe to expand their digital presence, exchange content efficiently, and accelerate growth in an increasingly interconnected world.”
Chirawat Mahawat, Vice President of GMS & SEA, International Business of HGC, added: “We are delighted to form this progressive partnership which enables the expansion of the fundamental infrastructure that underpins a seamless and high-performance Internet Exchange. This collaboration can further boost our connectivity between Asia and Europe. HGC recognizes a tremendous opportunity to dedicate resources to serve the rapidly expanding demand in traffic between the continents. In collaboration with our partners, we are committed to driving innovation for OTTs, gaming, cloud and upcoming AI service providers by delivering a comprehensive, dedicated solution that is both streamlined and adaptable.”
Peter van Burgel, CEO of AMS-IX added: “AMS-IX Bangkok is an important hub for internet traffic and is improving the quality of internet connections. Extending our partnership with HGC and Telehouse ensures it is easier for companies such as content providers, gaming, OTTs, cloud service providers and internet service providers to expand their ecosystems, enhancing performance and improving their global connectivity.”
