Telin and IOH launch Indonesia Cable Express System 2

PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia International (Telin) and Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH) have partnered to develop the Indonesia Cable Express System 2 (ICE System 2), enhancing Indonesia’s telecommunications infrastructure. The partnership was formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed on 28 August 2024 during the BATIC 2024 event.

The ICE System 2 aims to address the growing connectivity needs at various landing points throughout Indonesia, including Jakarta, Surabaya, Balikpapan, Makassar, and Manado, while also providing links to Singapore. This project is expected to significantly improve the quality and efficiency of telecommunications services in these regions, supporting businesses and consumers in their digital endeavours.

The partnership will also focus on expanding infrastructure by connecting the Points of Presence (PoP) of both IOH and Telin with the ICE System 2, solidifying the network’s robustness and ensuring cost-efficient development.

The MOU is a foundational document for further negotiations and will lead to a definitive agreement outlining this transformative project’s specific roles, responsibilities, and technical aspects.
