Telekom Malaysia (TM) Wholesale and Telin, the carrier subsidiary of PT Telkom Indonesia, have penned a new memorandum of understanding to collaborate more closely on submarine cable projects. 
Under the terms of the new partnership, both companies gain capacity on each other’s submarine cable systems, helping to meet the region’s increasing demand for connectivity.
"This collaboration allows us to gain immediate submarine capacity in response to the growing demand for high bandwidth services," said TM Wholesale’s executive vice president Amar Huzaimi Md Deris. "It also gives us more diverse connections and alternative routes connecting Malaysia to the rest of the world, while optimising our existing submarine capacity.”
In total, TM currently owns and leases 30 submarine cable systems across 320,000km. Telin has 22, spanning 222,260km.
