With Low Latency Data Centre Connect, Global Switch customers in Singapore will have secure on-demand access to a global network of data center ecosystems and submarine cable points of presence (PoP) for seamless connectivity, enhancing data-intensive operations.
“Global Switch is pleased to support StarHub's launch of Low Latency Data Centre Connect at our Woodlands and Tai Seng data centers in Singapore.

Furthermore, many major submarine cable systems connect directly to Global Switch Singapore's Tai Seng data center, where most ISPs, content delivery networks (CDNs), and hyperscalers are located. The Low Latency Data Centre Connect at StarHub’s sites will enable other data centers and cable landing stations in Singapore to connect to Global Switch Singapore for content access and interconnections, emphasized Teo.
This partnership demonstrates StarHub's commitment to customer satisfaction and innovation, ensuring the best possible experience for its customers. In addition to the advanced fiber network of Low Latency Data Centre Connect, StarHub is continuously exploring new cloud-based service opportunities and expanding its offerings through its Cloud Infinity Program.
