    PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia International (Telin) has officially unveiled its new cable landing station (CLS) in Kalasey, Minahasa, a development poised to enhance Indonesia’s international connectivity and digital infrastructure. This milestone is particularly crucial for the eastern regions of the country, as Telin continues to strive for improved digital integration.

    High-Profile Inauguration Ceremony

    The inauguration ceremony gathered notable executives from Telkom Group, including Honesti Basyir, CEO of CFU WIB Telkom Group, and Muhammad Rofik, President Commissioner of Telin, among others. The event also welcomed officials like Bambang A. Margono, Telin Commissioner, and several board members who play pivotal roles in steering the company toward its ambitious goals. The presence of key industry leaders emphasized the importance of this new facility in the broader context of regional digitalization.

    A Leap Forward in International Connectivity

    Central to this project is the CLS Manado-Minahasa, which forms an integral part of the Bifrost Cable System—an international subsea cable initiative developed alongside Keppel and Meta. This cutting-edge system enables a direct connection from Southeast Asia to North America, cleverly bypassing traditional transit routes by charting courses through significant maritime corridors like the Java and Celebes Seas. This new pathway reinforces Indonesia’s critical position within the global digital traffic network, much like a high-speed rail linking cities across a vast landscape.

    Milestones Achieved Since 2021

    Since the announcement of the Bifrost cable system in 2021, Telin has swiftly reached a number of crucial milestones. These include site selection, a groundbreaking ceremony in October 2024, and the successful landing of the cable in early 2025, followed by completing the construction of the CLS. After the Jakarta CLS’s cable landing last year, the Manado-Minahasa CLS is now primed for operation, ready to integrate seamlessly into Telkom’s expanding network and drive Indonesia further into the digital future.

    Positive Projections for Future Connectivity

    Honesti Basyir highlighted the strategic importance of this investment, stating,

    “The Manado-Minahasa cable landing station marks a bold step in positioning Indonesia as a vital digital gateway for the Asia Pacific. By connecting directly across the Pacific via Bifrost and preparing for future cables, we are building the foundation for a more connected, innovative, and prosperous digital future for our nation and region.”

    Meanwhile, Budi Satria Dharma Purba, CEO of Telin, concurred, emphasizing the role of the station in facilitating economic opportunities and technological advancements:

    “The Manado Cable Landing Station is more than just infrastructure; it is a gateway for Indonesia to lead in the digital era.”

    Infrastructure Built for Growth

    The CLS Manado-Minahasa boasts robust and scalable infrastructure designed to accommodate a variety of submarine cable systems. Equipped with beach manhole (BMH) integration and impressive front-haul connections, this facility is well-positioned to serve as a landing point for future subsea cables and digital platforms.

    The launch of the Manado-Minahasa cable landing station symbolizes a significant stride in Indonesia’s digital transformation journey. By bolstering Bifrost and supporting other international cable initiatives, this strategic asset is set to enhance regional connectivity, drive economic progress, and solidify Indonesia’s role as a crucial hub in the global digital landscape.

    Questions & Answers

    What is the significance of the new cable landing station in Minahasa?
    The cable landing station is a critical component in enhancing Indonesia’s international connectivity, particularly for the eastern regions of the country, and supports various upcoming international digital projects.

    How does the Bifrost Cable System affect Indonesia’s digital landscape?
    The Bifrost Cable System directly connects Southeast Asia to North America, bypassing traditional routes and significantly strengthening Indonesia’s position in the global digital traffic network.

    What are the future prospects for the CLS in Minahasa?
    With its advanced infrastructure designed for scalability and future connectivity, the CLS is poised to support multiple subsea cable systems and promote economic growth throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

  • TELIN: Indonesia As A Global Hub For Worldwide Telecommunications

    TELIN: Indonesia As A Global Hub For Worldwide Telecommunications

    The consortium of submarine cable communication system by the Southeast Asia-United States (SEA-US), which consist of global telecommunications company, announced the commencement of construction of the submarine cable projects that directly connects Indonesia to the United States. The construction project undertaken by the NEC Corporation and NEC Corporation of America with an investment of 250 million dollars is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2016.

    The SEA-US consortium consist of PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia International (Telin), Globe Telecom, RAM Telecom International (RTI), Hawaiian Telcom, Teleguam Holdings (GTA), GTI Corporation (a member of the Globe Telecom group), and Telkom USA.

    Director of Telin, Syarial Sharif Ahmad said, the construction of submarine cable communication system has become one of the important steps to meet the needs of rapid communication in Indonesia as well as proving Telin’s commitment in bringing high-tech telecommunications infrastructure.

    This submarine cable system will connect five regions of Manado (Indonesia), South Davao (Philippines), Piti in Guam, Honolulu of the island of Oahu Hawaii, and Los Angeles, California in the united states.

    The long submarine cable construction is estimated to reach 15,0000 km and has been designed to avoid areas prone to natural disasters, so as to provide a different route than the existing cable system and ensure a more stable reliability service.

    The cable system provides an additional capacity of terabyte per second (Tb/s) by using technology of 100 gigabyte per second (Gb/s). With this capacity, SEA-US will be able to provide the bandwidth needs of Southeast Asia and North America, which are always increasing with unmatched performance, especially for the two ASEAN countries. The construction of the system will also benefit other countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Papua New Guinea, and Australia.

    The construction of the SEA-US project will later be connected with the SEA-ME-WE 5 (South East Asia – Middle East – West Europe) project by connecting Manado and Dumai via submarine cable communication system “Indonesia Global Gateway” (IGG). The overall submarine cable communication system by Telin is the reflection of Indonesia Global Networks (IGN) that highlights the real role of Indonesia as a global hub for worldwide telecommunications.
