IP Services in Nepal

Hong Kong, 7 December 2016 – China Telecom Global Limited (CTG) and
Nepal Telecom, the major operator in Nepal, have reached an agreement to
deliver IP services in Nepal, with the 2016 newly launched terrestrial cable
route connecting China and Nepal via Jilong (Rasuwa) Gateway.

Over the years, China Telecom has been fully
committed to developing terrestrial cable connecting to neighbouring countries.
The new China-Nepal route is unprecedented as it is a new direct alternative
route for traffic demand generated from Nepal to all over the world, and
provides the highest quality service and low latency solution for end users in
Nepal. 

Ou Yan, Executive Vice President of CTG, said,
“China Telecom is dedicated to expanding our footprint by connecting with
neighbouring countries. The China-Nepal route could provide service to Nepal
and transit service from India. China Telecom has put tremendous effort into
building the route through the Himalayas. We are committed to delivering a
state of the art route for Nepal Telecom.”

Kamini Rajbhandari, Managing Director of Nepal
Telecom, said “Nepal Telecom would benefit from an additional route for
connectivity. We are confident that China Telecom would provide reliable
service and are looking forward to establishing Nepal as a transit hub through
this route.”
