Nokia and PT Solusi Sinergi Digital Tbk (Surge) have successfully deployed a new subsea optical solution to establish a high-capacity network link between Jakarta and Singapore. This strategic infrastructure project is set to significantly enhance regional data center interconnectivity and bolster Surge’s mission to expand affordable broadband access to underserved communities across Indonesia.
The new subsea network is a crucial component of Surge’s broader initiative to extend fiber-based broadband to 40 million households. By leveraging Nokia’s advanced 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS), the network will initially provide an impressive capacity of 20.8 terabits. This will enable Surge to offer ultra-high-speed services, including up to 800GE, to its enterprise customers.
Nokia’s subsea solution is designed for scalable, space-efficient, and power-efficient transmission, which will support Surge’s ambitious growth plans and operational efficiency.
“This strategic deployment underscores our commitment to digital equity and building a more connected, inclusive future,” stated Shannedy Ong, Director at PT Solusi Sinergi Digital Tbk. “With Nokia’s advanced optical transmission technology, we can efficiently scale our network to deliver reliable, high-speed, and affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities across Indonesia.”
James Watt, Vice President and General Manager, Optical Networks, Nokia, added, “Connecting up to 40 million people with affordable broadband access is a huge honor and responsibility. With Surge, we are building a high-performance network and providing solutions that will unlock new opportunities for growth across Indonesia.”
This collaboration marks a significant step in bridging the digital divide in Indonesia and strengthening the region’s digital infrastructure, facilitating faster and more reliable connectivity for millions.
