Reach Global Services Ltd. is headquartered in Hong Kong with interests in more than 40 submarine cables (including AJC, APCN2, China-US, Japan-US, RNAL, Sea-Me-We 3) and international satellite systems, mainly servicing the Asia Pacific area. Reach has operating licences and landing rights in most major markets including Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, North America and Europe.

Reach is a joint venture between Telstra and Pacific Century Cyberworks (PCCW). After financial difficulties, its shareholders negotiated a debt settlement in June 2004 [1], and it is now financially stable. Reach was restructured, and in 2005 announced that nearly all future expansion would be used for Telstra and PCCW requirements, though it would continue to service its other customers. Reach's website advertises their wholesale voice & data services.

The company operates 364,000 km of network cables connecting 240 countries and territories [2].
