Press Releases

For immediate release

Hong Kong, 16 May 2016 - Hutchison Global Communications Limited (HGC), the fixed-line division of Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited (HTHKH; stock code: 215), today announced provision of a Super Retail Network (SRN) solution to serve KFC Hong Kong (KFC). The move mirrors HGC's delivery of a similar solution earlier this year to benefit HGC Pizza Hut Hong Kong Management Limited (Pizza Hut).

Connecting nearly 70 KFC outlets with the company's data centres
HGC's SRN solution now connects close to 70 KFC outlets in Hong Kong with the chain's headquarters and data centres. This provides secure high-speed multi-point transmission of online orders, point-of-sale data, inventory details, membership bonus point information and promotions. This has supercharged the pace of handling orders via different channels for KFC, which is now able to task outlets closest to delivery addresses.

HTHKH Chief Operating Officer Jennifer Tan said: "The Super Retail Network solution has been welcomed with open arms by the retail market after launch. Today, we are delighted to provide KFC with the same top-notch service enjoyed by Pizza Hut. This acclaimed solution runs over a private optical network created by HGC, greatly enhancing operational efficiency and offering a much sharper competitive edge because KFC now handles orders generated by a chain of outlets in a highly-efficient manner."

KFC Marketing Director William Tsing said: "Our outlets are now connected by HGC's highspeed and resilient fibre-optic MetroNET service. This means data-processing time is overwhelmingly faster and more stable, which shortens the time taken for online ordering and boosts operational efficiency - enabling us to offer impressively-efficient customer service."

Fast and secure network service from MetroNET
SRN runs on next-generation Metro Ethernet technology over a private optical network. By doing so, this resilient and flexible solution overcomes troublesome bandwidth bottleneck problems suffered by traditional copper-based networks. The solution also benefits from highly-secure data transmission characterised by bandwidth up to 10Gbps and super-low latency of less than one millisecond.

SRN adopts a dual-core architecture providing core network resilience, and facilitates fast and reliable connectivity between a client's applications. All this is ideal for organisations seeking the flexibility to cope with upwardly-spiraling demand, and which have a large appetite for data service and real-time transactions.
