KUALA LUMPUR: Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) will be investing US$4mil (RM12.2mil) for its portion of the Batam-Dumai-Malacca cable system.
“The amount is rather small so we will be funding it ourselves,” TM Global executive vice-president Mohamad Rozaimy Abdul Rahman said after signing a construction and maintenance agreement with PT XL Axiata Tbk and PT Mora Telematika of Indonesia to jointly build high-bandwidth optical fibre submarine cable system between Malaysia and Indonesia.
The submarine cable, Batam-Dumai-Malacca (BDM) cable system is about 400km long, costing about US$7.6mil.
The BDM will connect two routes, Malacca-Batam and Malacca-Dumai. The landing station in Malaysia will be provided by TM while the Indonesian landing stations will be established by XL Axiata.
