JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – SubPartners Pty Ltd (SubPartners) and PT Indosat Tbk. (Indosat) have in Friday (Oct 11) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enter into negotiations for SubPartners Pty Ltd to connect Jakarta to APX-West, SubPartners’ submarine cable system from Perth, Australia to Changi North, Singapore.
Under the terms of the MOU, Indosat will participate to build a branch connection from APX-West that
will be landed at Indosat’s landing station at Ancol, Jakarta.
Indosat will initially light capacity to Singapore, with future options for capacity to Perth. Importantly, as the owner of the Jakarta branch, Indosat will be the sole Indonesian licensed carrier on the system and will assist with the permitting requirements for APX-West within Indonesia.
