In simpler terms, the upgrade allows more data to travel over the same submarine cable without companies having to lay a new one. The Matrix Cable System connects Indonesia to the internet and cloud hubs through Singapore, and the Batam-Jakarta section forms part of that route.
Two Indonesian digital infrastructure operators have upgraded their submarine cable systems with Ciena’s technology. The move aims to add capacity on routes that carry internet traffic between Indonesian islands and overseas networks through Batam and Singapore.
Matrix Networks and NAP Info Lintas Nusa, which operate the Matrix Cable System as strategic partners, have activated Ciena’s GeoMesh Extreme solution powered by WaveLogic 6 Extreme on the Batam-Jakarta section of the cable. The upgrade delivers 1 terabit per second per (Tb/s) wavelength across the 1,055-kilometre link, according to the companies.
