History
With the opertational merger of Asia Netcom and Pacific Internet we have created Asia’s leading independent telecommunications service provider with the largest regional footprint and the region’s most extensive sub-sea cable infrastructure.

Pacnet is all about Asia
Against a backdrop of explosive economic growth and increasing bandwidth demand in Asia is Pacnet, the region’s largest independent telecommunications service provider, born out of the recent operational merger of Asia Netcom and Pacific Internet.

The former Asia Netcom has its roots in Asia Global Crossing’s US$2 billion investment in building a next generation network, EAC, to connect key markets in Asia. In 2003, the company was bought by a consortium led by China Netcom. With industry-leading growth and an unsurpassed portfolio of enterprise and carrier solutions, Asia Netcom sold to Connect Holdings in 2006 and, in 2007 merged with C2C, another cable network owned by the same investor group. Leveraging these strategic assets, the company owns the region’s leading pan-Asian submarine network and provides a comprehensive portfolio of city-to-city connectivity, data communications and IP-based solutions and services.

The former Pacific Internet Limited was the largest telco-independent Internet Communications Service Provider by geographic reach in the Asia Pacific region. Pacific Internet started in 1991 as TechNet, the research and development network of the National University of Singapore. In 1999, the company listed on NASDAQ and continued to further expand its footprint in South Asia and into Australia. The company delivers a comprehensive suite of Internet data, voice and video services to corporate business and consumer customers.

The synergy
Fuelling Pacnet’s growth are synergies reaping from the operational merger of the two companies. As one of Asia Pacific’s premier providers of broadband, the company has unique assets that are not easily replicable.

With the two companies merged together as one, Pacnet can now offer solutions for retail consumers, Fortune 500 companies, as well as service the wholesale carrier market.
