Private Connect
Layer 2 P2P circuits at pricing enterprises can't get on their own — cross-city and cross-border
Overview
We source dedicated Layer 2 point-to-point circuits — MPLS, IEPL (International Ethernet Private Line), and standard Ethernet private line — across China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile, and specialized regional providers. Through deep carrier relationships and aggregated demand, we consistently secure highly competitive pricing below direct enterprise rates. For cross-city routes, we also leverage alternative non-carrier providers for even more competitive options. Bandwidth from 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps with flexible terms. Same aggressive pricing model applies overseas through our international carrier partnerships.
Key features
- MPLS, IEPL, and Ethernet private line — the full range of Layer 2 connectivity options
- Multi-carrier sourcing: China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile, and regional alternative providers
- Cross-city routes via non-carrier alternatives — better pricing than traditional operator circuits
- 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps bandwidth with flexible burst, committed, and usage-based rate options
- Layer 2 transparency — run BGP, OSPF, or any routing protocol of your choice
- Available between all major China business hubs, APAC, and global interconnection points
- Self-service portal for monitoring, modifying, and managing your circuits
Why choose Private Connect
- Bulk pricing advantage: our carrier relationships secure rates well below enterprise direct pricing
- Alternative routing for cross-city: cheaper non-carrier paths where traditional operators are overpriced
- One partner across China and overseas — same pricing model, same SLA, same support
- Flexible bandwidth — adjust commitments as needs change, across carrier boundaries
- Provisioned in days through established relationships, not weeks of direct carrier negotiation
Use cases
Cross-border database replication with guaranteed throughput between China and APAC
Hybrid cloud backhaul connecting China infrastructure to AWS, Azure, or GCP
Real-time financial data feeds requiring deterministic, low-jitter connectivity
Global CDN origin shielding with private links between China and APAC edge nodes
Solutions using this product
Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Connectivity
Organizations running workloads in mainland China often need to connect China-based cloud environments — including AWS China Regions and Azure operated by 21Vianet — or China branches to public cloud regions overseas. These environments are operated separately, and cross-border connectivity requires a separately designed and provisioned path. We coordinate connectivity options for supported architectures, taking bandwidth, latency, route availability, workload design, and applicable requirements into account. Options range from managed 50 Mbps-1 Gbps virtual connections through partners such as Megaport and Equinix Fabric, among others, to dedicated 1-100 Gbps physical connections for data-heavy workloads.
Explore the solutionPrivate Site-to-Site Connectivity
End-to-end private connectivity between your China sites and the rest of the world, built from two circuit types that work together: DPLC for the domestic point-to-point legs between Chinese cities, and IEPL or MPLS for the cross-border leg. Both are Layer 2, so your own routing runs across the whole path, and both are uncontended, so latency, jitter, and packet loss stay stable through the evening peak instead of degrading with the public internet. We source from China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile, and alternative operators, then choose the combination that fits your route, bandwidth, and budget — and we hold the carrier relationships, so you sign one contract and escalate through one path. The same point-to-point capability covers routes that never touch China — two overseas sites, or a data centre and an office outside the mainland — on the same Layer 2, uncontended terms.
Explore the solutionHardware-Free Managed Network
Build your network out of virtual routers and firewalls rather than physical appliances. We deploy RouterOS, VyOS, FortiGate, or Zscaler VSE as virtual instances wherever your traffic needs them — inside a cloud region, in a colocation cage, at an office edge — then interconnect them into one routed, policy-controlled network over our multi-carrier DIA and Private Connect underlay. No hardware procurement, no customs, no local IT team. Configuration, policy, OS updates, and 24/7 monitoring are handled for you, and you keep administrative access and full visibility.
