PITI, Guam<\/span>, March 29, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Australian telecommunications startup OneQode<\/a> has launched a world-first gaming hub on the island of Guam<\/span> as a brand new, latency-neutral server location to connect hundreds of millions of gamers across the Asia-Pacific<\/span> region.<\/p>\n

Until now, because of unbalanced connection latencies between the major gaming hotspots, cross-border intra-regional gameplay has been out of reach for many of the region’s gamers. With Guam<\/span> located at roughly equal distances from the major surrounding nations and connected via high-capacity undersea fibre, OneQode’s gaming hub creates a level playing field for the region.<\/p>\n

\"Latency<\/a>
Latency to Guam from nearby countries and regions<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The Guam<\/span> gaming hub<\/a> creates the possibility of new regional eSports tournaments, in spite of travel restrictions. Gamers from most of the surrounding nations, including China<\/span>, Japan<\/span>, Australia<\/span>, and the Philippines<\/span>, will now be able to play on a more equal footing, without giving an unfair advantage to any one side, or requiring previously remote players to travel internationally.<\/p>\n

For Ben Cooper<\/span>, OneQode’s Chief Product Officer, this has been a long time coming:<\/p>\n

"I began to work on the Guam<\/span> hub concept in 2016. The goal was to find a place with the best latency to as many people as possible. Much easier said than done – but thanks to the team alongside me at OneQode, our carrier partners and RTI Cable, Guam<\/span> is finally ready to act as a gaming hub. We’re excited to share this with the world and change gaming in the Asia-Pacific<\/span> region for good."<\/i><\/p>\n

The Guam<\/span> gaming hub is the culmination of a major international deployment for OneQode, who were the first provider to operate on the fastest submarine cable to Asia<\/span> from Australia’s<\/span> east coast. It plugs directly into OneQode’s low-latency network, purpose-built to provide a premium connectivity experience. Boasting several core routing locations throughout Asia-Pacific<\/span>, the network is fed by high-capacity submarine links and integrates with many of the largest local providers in each location.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the Hub, game publishers, developers and server providers can now access dedicated server capacity and co-location facilities on the unique island of Guam<\/span>, and gamers from across the region will be able to play together at lower latencies than ever before.<\/p>\n

OneQode are now accepting orders for Hub deployments. Several APAC eSports tournaments are in the works with a league to follow later in the year.<\/p>\n
