APTelecom appointed to spearhead MYUS Submarine Cable Project

25 February 2025

Hexa Capital Consultancy has engaged APTelecom to spearhead the pre-sales and post-sales activities for all products relating to the MYUS Submarine Cable Project. APTelecom will also provide consulting, project management and implementation support for the project.

The MYUS Submarine Cable Project is a strategic initiative aimed at enhancing digital connectivity between Malaysia and the United States, strengthening international bandwidth capacity, and supporting the region’s growing demand for high-speed, reliable telecommunications infrastructure.

The MYUS cable is being planned with a ready-for-service date of mid-2028. MYUS will connect Malaysia and the US directly for the first time with high-capacity fibre optic connectivity, increasing access to reliable and affordable digital services across Southeast Asia.

The cable will extend between the Malaysian Peninsula near Sedili to the US territory of Guam at the new Alupang Cable landing station and data centre and then directly onward to Alaska Communications’ cable landing station in Florence, Oregon. Along the path, MYUS will also connect Batam, Jakarta and Balikpapan in Indonesia, and Davao in the Philippines.

APTelecom will be responsible for market positioning, customer engagement, and revenue generation strategies for MYUS products, ensuring a seamless transition from project development to commercial operations.
