Keppel says that a subsea cable landing license must be obtained prior to landing a submarine cable to connect continental US with any foreign country. This approval paves the way for Bifrost’s deployment.
Keppel’s Singapore-US subsea cable called the Bifrost Cable System, has received regulatory approval from the US, according to a release dated Jan 25.
The Bifrost Cable System is developed jointly by Keppel with Edge Cable Holdings (Meta) and Telekomunikasi Indonesia International (Telin), and spans over 20,000km when completed in 2H2025. It is the world’s first subsea cable system that directly connects Singapore to the west coast of North America via Indonesia through the Java Sea and Celebes Sea.
