Sistem Kabel Rakyat 1Malaysia (SKR1M) is a project initiated by the Malaysian government to improve the country's broadband connectivity and increase internet accessibility to the general public. The project involves laying a submarine cable network connecting Malaysia to several neighboring countries such as Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines, as well as Singapore.
The SKR1M submarine cable network is designed to provide high-speed internet connectivity to the Malaysian population, including rural areas, which were previously underserved. The project is expected to increase the country's internet penetration rate and provide a boost to the country's digital economy.
The SKR1M submarine cable system is owned and operated by Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM), one of the country's leading telecommunications providers. The cable network spans more than 3,000 kilometers and comprises several fiber-optic cables, which are capable of transmitting large amounts of data at high speeds.
The project is part of the Malaysian government's efforts to improve the country's telecommunications infrastructure and provide affordable and accessible internet services to all Malaysians. The SKR1M submarine cable network is expected to play a crucial role in achieving these objectives and help Malaysia become a leading player in the region's digital economy.
