Southeast Asian wholesale connectivity provider SEAX has acquired a major stake in ITEL (Interlink Telecom), a Thai fixed network telecommunications provider.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), in collaboration with other UN departments established a new body aimed at strengthening the resilience of submarine cables in response to rising outages.
Telkom Indonesia’s international arm Telin said on Wednesday it has signed a strategic partnership with Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison to develop ICE System 2, the latest announced leg of Telin’s Indonesia Cable Express subsea cable project.
While many subsea cable stories recently are about accidents and repairs in the world’s oceans, two recent stories from India and West Africa are land-based and underline some of the potential pitfalls of inadequate planning.
