From the onset, low cost, ease of connectivity, fair allocation of bandwidth and automatic resource discovery has driven Ethernet’s evolution. The simplicity of its protocols, close relation to IP and adaptability to new IP-based technologies has ensured its almost universal deployment.

HKNet SecureNet Ethernet private line leverages the benefits of traditional Ethernet and transforms it to a new generation enterprise network. It extends the LAN infrastructure for WAN connectivity and covers major cities in Asia. Certified by MEF Carrier Ethernet 2.0 (CE 2.0), the Carrier Ethernet service leverages highly advanced Provider Backbone Bridging - Traffic Engineering (PBB-TE) technology to accelerate Ethernet network speeds. It offers optimized quality, a higher level of security, better fault isolation and improved Quality of Service (QoS), and is backed by Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

Key Benefits

Seamless Connectivity

• Can be integrated with other SecureNet data network services across different layers of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model for any-to-any connectivity, from point-to-point to full-mesh network topologies.
• The simplicity of the Carrier Ethernet with VLAN and Layer-2 control protocol transparency eliminates routing complexity.

High Flexibility and Scalability

• Designed to be a highly customizable, one-stop solution that offers greater flexibility in terms of bandwidth, SLA, bundled service options, local billing options etc.
• Our highly scalable bandwidth, ranging from 1Mbps to 10Gbps, addresses changing business needs.
• Our parent company NTT Communications' wide network coverage and strong relationships with local carriers eliminates carrier lock-in worries and offers the flexibility to connect to other carriers’ network.

Low Latency

• Industry-leading latency of less than 1.2 milliseconds round-trip delay (RTD) between any two Points of Presence (PoP) in Hong Kong for high-performance connectivity.

Wide Coverage

• Connects to major cities in Asia, key data centers and global business centers using NTT Communications' wide network coverage.

Robust Security

• The major PoPs are securely located at data centers of HKNet and NTT Communications, and is backed by our 24 x 7 x 365 Security Operation Center management for a peace of mind.

Industry Recognition: MEF CE 2.0 Certification

• HKNet SecureNet Ethernet private line is MEF CE2.0 (Metro-Ethernet Forum Carrier Ethernet 2.0) certified. As the defining body for Carrier Ethernet, the MEF offers certifications to network service providers whose Ethernet services comply with world-recognized industry standards for high quality performance and management. Service providers have to pass 634 stringent test cases conducted by MEF-approved test labs to be certified.

Comprehensive Reporting Features

• Integrated customer portal is available as a value-added service for comprehensive fault reporting and performance management, showing the availability of connection, latency figure, packet loss, jitter, throughput etc.
