HGC Global Communications Limited (HGC), a fully fledged ICT service provider and network operator with global coverage, launched Eyeball-as-a-Service (EaaS) in Singapore. This new iteration of an as-a-service solution is designed to help Over-The-Top (OTT) operators, content providers and e-commerce companies expand their footprints across wide landmasses at high-speed, low latency and meet best-in-class service level agreements (SLA) for the applications demand fueled by 5G edge computing.
With continuous expansion of interactive OTT players such as virtual commerce, media content providers, internet businesses, AI & IoT technology solution providers, application developers, gaming companies and eSports the demand for high-quality and easily accessible network reach has never been greater.
