Connecting the Archipelago: A 6,870 km Vision
The SGI Cable System’s extensive route carves a vital path through Indonesia’s diverse islands, linking major economic hubs and remote areas. This geographical spread is not merely about length; it is about knitting together the nation’s digital fabric, ensuring equitable access to high-speed internet.
The envisioned route will connect:
- Jakarta
- Pontianak
- Pangkalan Bun
- Banjarmasin
- Balikpapan
- Banyu Urip
- Singaraja
- Mataram
- Makassar
- Palu
- Manado
- Bitung
- Ambon
- Sorong
This comprehensive coverage is designed to foster digital inclusion and accelerate economic development across Indonesia.
Technical Prowess and Future-Proofing
Beyond its impressive length, the SGI Cable System boasts formidable technical specifications. Engineered for the future, the system features 16 pairs of optical fibers, collectively delivering a staggering capacity of up to 25 Terabits per second (Tbps). To put this into perspective, 25 Tbps can simultaneously support millions of ultra-high-definition video streams, ensuring that Indonesia’s burgeoning digital demands are met for decades to come.
With a robust design life of 25 years, this infrastructure represents a long-term investment in the nation’s digital future, capable of adapting to evolving technological landscapes and ever-increasing data consumption.
