The Palapa Ring East submarine cable is a high-speed fiber-optic cable system that is being developed to connect the eastern regions of Indonesia. The project is a joint venture between PT Palapa Ring Barat, PT Palapa Ring Timur, and PT Palapa Ring Utara, and is being funded by the Indonesian government.
The Palapa Ring East submarine cable will span a distance of approximately 3,500 kilometers and will connect 20 cities and regencies in the eastern region of Indonesia. The cable system will have a capacity of 100 Gbps (gigabits per second) and will provide high-speed internet access and data transmission services to the region.
The project is a part of the Indonesian government's ambitious Palapa Ring project, which aims to connect all regions of Indonesia with high-speed fiber-optic cable systems. The Palapa Ring East submarine cable will complement the existing Palapa Ring network that already covers the western and central regions of Indonesia.
The Palapa Ring East submarine cable is expected to bring significant economic and social benefits to the region by improving internet connectivity and access to information. The project is also expected to boost the growth of digital industries and create new opportunities for businesses and individuals in the eastern region of Indonesia.
