“This is the first cable started in Indonesia, and Singapore landed in Davao and connected to Guam and California. This is the first cable in the world connected to Singapore and the US. This is the biggest US technology. Each fiber has 16 terabytes of capacity and this is a six-fiber pair. This is a brand new and state-of-the-art, purely optical network, from international, domestic to your home,” said Dennis Anthony Uy, chief executive officer and co-founder of Converge, in an interview.
When asked about the company’s capital expenditure for the project, Romero just said it’s a “nine-digit level US dollars.”“We are doing the groundbreaking but we actually started the cable landing station. As we speak, the cable chips are being manufactured in France and are being loaded. Once they’re loaded, they go out to sea and we will start laying the cable,” Romero said.
The consortium behind Bifrost includes Keppel Midgard Holdings Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Keppel Telecommunications and Transportation Limited , Meta, and PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia International , a subsidiary of PT Telkom Indonesia.
