link bet88's highest capacity submarine cable officially begins operation

Viettel has officially put the Asia Direct Cable (ADC) submarine fiber optic cable into operation in early April 2025, with its landing station located in Quy Nhon (the south central province of Binh Dinh).

With a maximum capacity of 50Tbps, ADC is the largest submarine cable system in link bet88, surpassing the country's total international connectivity capacity before its activation by 125%.

The Military Industry and Telecoms Group (Viettel) holds full ownership of the cable branch connecting link bet88, the landing station in Quy Nhon, and a segment of the main international trunk.

Spanning approximately 9,800 km, ADC links seven countries and territories: link bet88, China, Hong Kong (China), Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, and Japan.

Unlike link bet88’s existing submarine fiber optic cables, ADC uniquely connects directly to all three major Asian internet hubs—Singapore, Hong Kong (China), and Japan—enhancing regional connectivity.

The entire ADC project represents a 0 million investment, backed by a consortium of nine leading telecommunications corporations: Viettel (link bet88), Softbank (Japan), Tata (India), Singtel (Singapore), China Telecommunications Corporation, China Telecom Global, China Unicom (China), National Telecom (Thailand), and PLDT (the Philippines).
