The Indonesian island of Bali - a hugely popular holiday resort - has gained its first optical fibre link to the rest of the world following completion of a submarine cable connecting it, neighbouring Lombok, Kalimantan and Sulawesi with the main island of Java.
The $US00m, 320Gbps cable with the tongue-challenging name of JaKa2LaDeMa has been installed by Fujitsu in partnership with German company Norddeutsche Seekabelwerke GmbH for PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Telkom Indonesia).
According to Fujitsu, "This [system] is particularly important for Bali, which is of key commercial importance to Indonesia. In addition, the interlink within Kalimantan and the Kalimantan-Sulawesi link give businesses and residents not only their first high-bandwidth services, but also ensures the robustness of the entire network in Indonesia."
Fujitsu has provided the overall system design comprising submersible repeaters, branching units, terminals and the associated services including the integration of repeaters with Norddeutsche Seekabelwerke's cables.
Norddeutsche Seekabelwerke provided a full turnkey solution, including survey and route engineering, submarine cable manufacture, marine installation, civil works, including terrestrial cable supply and installation, transmission and commissioning services.
