The Japanese company NEC from the IT and network technologies industry has established cooperation with PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia, Tbk (Telkom) to develop the Indonesia Global Gateway Cable System (IGG).
According to an NEC press release dated September 8, 2016, IGG is a 100 gigabit per second x 80 wavelength subsea fiber optic cable system with 4 fiber optic pairs. It is predicted to be accomplished in early 2018.
The system will measure roughly 5,300 kilometers. It will connect the cities of Dumai, Batam, Jakarta, Madura, Bali, Makassar, Balikpapan, Tarakan and Manado with Singapore.
The ICC cable system will improve connectivity between the mentioned major cities in Indonesia. It was also designed to supply direct connectivity between two international submarine cables – one from Europe landing at Dumai, the opposite from the west coast of the United States of America terminating at Manado.
