Connecting China

Connecting locations in China to the rest of the world demands a specialized approach.

In 2023, more than one million foreign companies were registered in Mainland China but due to heavy control of the traffic, internet access is unreliable, potentially causing unplanned downtime and huge losses to manufacturing companies.

Open Systems incorporates quality, flexibility, and reliability at every level – platform, architecture, lines, and third-party connectivity providers – so that your uptime and performance get maximum protection. On top of that, we deliver an expert-level, 24×7 Network Operations Center to proactively monitor and remediate issues.

Challenges when connecting Chinese locations

connectivity

UNRELIABLE CONNECTIVITY

Cross-border data transmission often suffers from high latency and packet loss, impacting the performance of critical business applications.

CHALLENGING REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS

China’s stringent regulatory framework around internet usage and data sovereignty creates significant barriers to accessing global internet and SaaS applications.

The Great Firewall of China restricts access to many foreign websites and services, complicating standard business operations.

Delivery

COMPLEX ISP LANDSCAPE

Managing multiple ISPs across regions can be cumbersome and inefficient. In China, the majority are state-owned providers that are rapidly evolving and face regional disparities.

ROBUST AND FLEXIBLE SETUP
