The fibre optic cable trunk network is connected to in-building coaxial networks to form a hybrid fibre coaxial cable (HFC) network. Over 2 million households covered by our network in Hong Kong are connected to our HFC network.

The i-CABLE network is engineered and built to be two-way interactive, allowing high speed transmission of data and voice and as well as video. On top of television service, broadband access service is already available to over 2 million homes via ourInternet Protocol (IP) overlay network.

The Broadband internet access service was delivered via the Group's Internet Protocal (IP) overlay network, deploying cable-modem based technology. The Group's clear edge in rapid rollout and its well-established marketing and service provisioning infrastructure have enabled the Group to become one of Hong Kong's two clear leaders of Broadband service provision.

Leveraging on the Group's the pay-TV content, the unit has developed new media content to generate additional income. They include portals on news, sports, horse racing, stocks and adult entertainment. In addition, the Group is one of the leading video suppliers to mobile operators in Hong Kong.

The Group also provides local VoIP service to the residential market, utilizing the hybrid fiber coaxial, cable network for core and last-mile signal transmission.
