Enterprise Connectivity
Enterprise connectivity, delivered end to end. GSS coordinates carriers, local loops, cross-border segments, CPE and on-site work under one design for DIA, IEPL, MPLS, IP-VPN and SD-WAN.
Define the service level, design the path, then pick the bandwidth
Every segment has a demarcation point, a latency budget and a protection scheme. The topology is indicative and the tier table lists selectable service levels; the contracted order governs.
| Standard | Enhanced | Gold | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Availability | 99.9% | 99.95% | 99.99% |
| Allowed downtime / yr | 8h 46m | 4h 23m | 52m |
| One-way latency (BJ–SH) | ≤ 30 ms | ≤ 28 ms | ≤ 26 ms |
| Jitter | ≤ 5 ms | ≤ 3 ms | ≤ 1 ms |
| Packet loss | ≤ 0.1% | ≤ 0.05% | ≤ 0.01% |
| Protection switch | — | < 1 s | < 50 ms |
Enterprise connectivity, delivered end to end
Global interconnect, multi-branch WAN and direct cloud access are not about “buying bandwidth”. They need a circuit with clear demarcation points, a defined service level and one accountable party. Our principle: define the service level first, design the path second, pick the bandwidth last.
GSS holds MIIT value-added telecommunications licences (ICP / ISP / IDC) and takes responsibility for carrier selection, local loops, cross-border coordination, CPE and on-site work — closing the gap between resellers who sell contracts without field execution and carriers whose responsibility stops at the street:
| Delivery stage | Common issue | GSS approach |
|---|---|---|
| Carrier selection | Locked into a single carrier; no genuine physical dual-route redundancy | Compare China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile and international partners; design diverse-path dual uplinks |
| Last mile | Carrier demarcation ends outside the building; risers and cabling unattended | Field engineers across 200+ cities handle building surveys, riser routing, fibre splicing, CPE installation and commissioning |
| Cross-border | Public VPN with no service level | Dedicated IEPL / MPLS circuits via GSS overseas PoPs, delivered and operated from Beijing and Shanghai |
| Service level | Bandwidth ceiling only, no end-to-end metrics | Segment latency budgets and protection-switch targets written into the order; active-active NOCs with minute-level monitoring |
Cross-border connectivity through GSS PoPs
For multinational China branches and Chinese enterprises expanding abroad, GSS operates its own PoPs in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore and Los Angeles. Cross-border IEPL / MPLS circuits are carried by partner carriers and delivered and operated by GSS, so you never deal with overseas carriers directly.
| Route | Circuit type | Typical bandwidth | Typical one-way latency (reference) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shenzhen ↔ Hong Kong | Cross-border IEPL | 10M – 10G | < 5 ms |
| Shanghai ↔ Tokyo | Cross-border IEPL | 10M – 1G | ≈ 40 ms |
| Beijing ↔ Singapore | Cross-border MPLS | 2M – 1G | ≈ 75 ms |
| Shanghai ↔ Los Angeles | Cross-border IEPL | 10M – 1G | ≈ 140 ms |
Latency figures are typical reference values and depend on local loop and routing; the order specifies the committed metrics per circuit.
SD-WAN hybrid networking
Enterprise SD-WAN layered over dedicated circuits keeps critical and real-time traffic on circuits while non-critical traffic uses local Internet, with policy-based switching between links. The effect on total network cost depends on your current baseline, which GSS assesses during design. GSS provides CPE selection, configuration rollout and ongoing operations.
Engagement models
- Single circuit: purchased per site and bandwidth; GSS delivers and operates.
- Multi-site network: one design, phased delivery, one service interface.
- Connectivity plus operations: combined with managed infrastructure services so circuits, CPE and site equipment share one monitoring and ticketing system.
Service levels, lead times and responsibility boundaries are defined in the order.

|---|---|
| Bandwidth tiers | 2M – 10G (domestic); 10M – 10G (cross-border IEPL) |
| Typical lead time | Domestic DIA typically 10–20 business days; cross-border IEPL typically 20–45 business days; depends on local loop and site conditions, confirmed in the order |
| Service levels | Selectable tiers — 99.9% availability (single circuit) up to 99.99% (dual circuit, diverse routing); 15-minute response, restore target per tier; the contracted order governs |

| Contracting entity | GSS designs, delivers and operates from Beijing and Shanghai; overseas segments are carried by partner carriers with GSS as the single accountable party |
Delivery process
Requirements and site survey
Confirm site address, bandwidth, target service level and budget; run local-loop feasibility checks where needed.
Route comparison
Route combinations, alternatives and segmented costs delivered typically within 1–3 business days.
Provisioning and testing
Local engineers handle the last mile and CPE installation; cross-border circuits are jointly tested with partner carriers.
24/7 operations
Monitored from active-active NOCs in Beijing and Shanghai with ticketing, monthly reporting and ongoing route optimisation.

Commercial Bank Video Cloud and AIOps
Video conferencing, remote-teller and training streams ran on three incompatible systems with a dozen terminal models; branches bought their own circuits, so quality varied and stutter complaints stayed high. Regulators required all audio-video data and AI analysis to remain inside the bank.
Cross-border AI Compute Circuits and Multi-cloud GPU Scheduling
The Shanghai R&D team trained on GPU clusters in Singapore and Tokyo, but moving 40 TB daily datasets over the public internet took 20+ hours and kept failing; China data-export rules required an auditable dedicated channel; GPU utilisation across the three sites sat at 35% with queues in one place and idle cards in another.

FAQ
How does a cross-border circuit differ from Internet VPN?
IEPL / MPLS circuits are dedicated carrier capacity whose latency, jitter and availability can be committed in the order. Internet VPN rides the public Internet with no service-level commitment. Compliance judgements on data transfer rest with your legal team; GSS provides auditable technical controls and documentation.
Who issues the contract?
GSS (Beijing GoldSunshine Ltd.) contracts in China. Overseas segments are delivered by partner carriers — you deal with a single accountable party.
How fast can a circuit be delivered?
Domestic DIA in fibre-ready buildings typically in about 10 business days; 4G / 5G access typically within 3 business days; cross-border IEPL typically 20–45 business days. These are typical lead times; the order confirms the committed date.
Do you support redundant circuits?
Yes. We design dual circuits from different carriers over diverse physical routes, with SD-WAN for policy-based switching between links.
