Hexa Capital Appoints GTA as Official Landing Partner
Hexa Capital Consultancy PLT, known for its innovative telecommunications projects, has made a significant move by designating GTA in Guam as the official U.S. Landing Party for the MYUS cable system. This ambitious project aims to establish a direct high-capacity fiber optic link between Malaysia and the United States, enhancing connectivity throughout Southeast Asia.
Overview of the MYUS Cable Project
The MYUS cable is set to be operational by mid-2028 and will uniquely connect Malaysia and the U.S. for the first time. This unprecedented link promises to deliver reliable and affordable digital services, thereby improving access across the region. The cable will stretch from the Malaysian Peninsula to Guam, culminating at the newly developed Alupang Cable Landing Station. From there, it will connect to Oregon via Alaska Communications’ cable landing station.
Strategic Connectivity to the Pacific
Along its route, the MYUS cable will also connect several key cities in Indonesia, including Batam, Jakarta, and Balikpapan, as well as Davao in the Philippines. Hexa’s design emphasizes dependable and efficient direct fiber connectivity, catering specifically to the needs of hyperscalers, cloud providers, telecom carriers, and government entities.
Choosing GTA as a Partner
According to Dr. Azhari Abang Hadari, Founder and CEO of Hexa, the MYUS cable’s route is meticulously designed to avoid the problematic waters often encountered by other undersea cables. The collaboration with GTA in Guam was an obvious choice, given their commendable history of network development and performance.
GTA’s Advantages in Guam
GTA’s cable landing facilities will ensure seamless access to Guam’s major cable stations through its advanced fiber network. The Alupang Data Center is purposefully built using sustainable techniques to enhance both fronthaul and backhaul services. This center plays a critical role, acting as a gateway for sub-sea connectivity in the region, thus enhancing the digital infrastructure immensely.
Impacts of the MYUS Cable
The MYUS cable features an open architecture with 16 fiber pairs that will significantly increase bandwidth and connectivity options for local and international businesses. Hexa’s objective is to sell these fiber pairs to long-term owners who value reliability and performance, fostering business growth across various sectors.
Furthermore, at the recent Submarine Networks World conference, Hexa connected with potential customers and partners, promoting the MYUS cable’s capabilities and opportunities.
