What SINET does

SINET is a Cambodia-based dedicated internet and telecommunications service provider founded in 2009 and operating as a subsidiary of S.I Group Co. Ltd., a diversified Cambodian conglomerate. The company owns and operates one of Cambodia's most extensive domestic fiber networks, including a 200Gbps BTI DWDM protected core backbone, 6,000km of underground fiber, 20,000km of last-mile fiber, and 200+ active network points of presence reaching every province and remote district in the country. Its technology stack spans Active Ethernet fiber access, SDH, MetroEthernet, GPON, and — as of 2022 — Cambodia's first XGS-PON enterprise deployment in partnership with Nokia, complemented by Juniper Networks QFX/ACX routing infrastructure.

SINET's product portfolio is organized around four tiers of dedicated symmetric internet (Fiber Edge 50Mbps, Fiber Plus 100Mbps, Fiber Pro 350Mbps, Fiber One 800Mbps), plus enterprise services including IP Transit (wholesale, up to 40Gbps), Domestic Private Leased Circuits (DPLC), International Private Leased Circuits (IPLC up to 10Gbps), data center colocation, and Virtual Private Server hosting.
