Its a Beautiful Day!- Wharf T&T 2011 Advertising CampaignEnjoy the day in every way with Wharf T&T IPv6 Enabled Fiber Business Broadband
The advance of network technology has changed the way we communicate, do business, and collaborate with others. While most
business activities can be carried out through a variety of computing devices connected to a high-speed network, the Internet has
become an indispensible tool in the modern business world.
Just imagine, what could be more enjoyable than getting the
work done perfectly and effectively on a beautiful working
day? That should be the wish of every employer and employee!
With the presence of the best-of-breed fully fibre-optic metro
IP network and related ICT applications, things will go our way!
Marching towards the second year of the +EN network investment
project which targets the extension of our Fibre-to-the-Desk (FTTD)
network infrastructure to over 95% of local business customers, we
have made respectable progress in the first key milestones with over
2,000 buildings connected to the +EN fibre network, representing a
doubling of the building rollout capacity.
Feature Story
Its a Beautiful Day! In May Wharf T&T launched its 2011 corporate
advertising campaign featuring a booming and
beautiful working day enabled by a top-notch
business broadband network. Endorsed by the
talented artiste Sherman Chung, the campaign
featured her newly released song Its a Beautiful Day
in which Sherman, while wearing very chic stunning
outfits, welcomes a bright and cheerful working day
and experiences the Wharf T&T ultra high-speed fibre
optic network.
At the press conference to launch the campaign, Sherman used a Fibre Optic Saber to cleave the board written
(Homophone of Sherman Chungs Chinese name in Cantonese), symbolising the end of the inefficient slow copper-based legacy broadband connection. The campaign captures the essence of our +EN network
enabling a near universal coverage of FTTD business broadband that facilitates increased cloud service adoption.
With FTTD in place, reliable and seamless communications cannot be found anywhere else but here at Wharf T&T.
Any enterprise, SMEs in particular, can enjoy the day in every way as everyday is a beautiful day for them.
With extensive advertising coverage, the campaign is not limited to TV commercials on major TV channels
including TVB, Cable TV, outdoor TV wall, lift lobby TV in over 500 commercial buildings, MTR trackside TV, etc.,
but also includes advertisements in major newspapers and magazines as well as mobile advertising platform.

Technology Unveil IPv6 Enabled! Wharf T&Ts FTTD ultra high-speed network infrastructure has already integrated IPv6
technology with its 200M Fiber Business Broadband service! With the IPv6 standard enabled,
customers enjoy improved security and end-to-end connective integrity. The new standard
uses 128 bits for IPv6 addresses that provides up to 340 billion billion billion billion (3.4x1038)
unique addresses, which means the address pool is large enough to give multiple IP addresses
to every grain of sand on the planet!
Dual Stack Migration In view of the worldwide trend of current IPv4
addresses possibly being fully depleted before the
end of 2011, companies should consider adopting
IPv6 standard as soon as possible in order to make
sure the technologies they are currently using are
compatible with the IPv6 standard since there is no
alternative plan.
As the best SME partner committed to providing
the best ICT services, Wharf T&T adopts the Dual
Stack migration approach that can connect to both
IPv4 and IPv6 networks automatically. The auto
configuration capability enables easier network
design and management so that our Fiber Business
Broadband customers can have more time to
plan for their upgrade to the next generation
infrastructure.
Let us help you move to IPv6 - the Gateway to
Tomorrows Digital World!
