The APG has the biggest capacity of any network in Asia. It is also 20 times more than the Asia-America Gateway (AAG).

With a total length of approximately 10,400 km, the cable line connects mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, the Republic of Korea (RoK), Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam.

VNPT has also been investing in an Asia Africa Euro (AAE) 1 cable system, connecting countries in Asia, Africa and Europe. The cable line is expected to operate in 2017.
