Vocus Communications has officially launched the submarine cable between Australia and Singapore in Indonesia with partner company XL Axiata.
The two companies say Monday’s launch in Indonesia celebrated the strategic and economic opportunities the cable will deliver for Indonesia as a key landing point on the ASC route from Australia to Singapore.
Attendees at the launch included the Indonesian Minister of Communications and IT, HE Rudiantara, ASN President Phillipe Piron, XL Axiata CEO Dian Siswarini and Vocus Group Chairman, Vaughan Bowen.
“The ASC network has been designed specifically with Indonesia in mind, providing the geographic diversity required to support Indonesia’s critical information infrastructure,” says Bowen.

Indonesia is soon to be a key hub in the middle of these traffic flows, rather than an end-point of the region’s fibre optic networks.”
Vocus says forecasts suggest that Indonesia’s GDP is set to grow from USD$3.0Tn in 2016 to 5.5Tn by 2030, meaning the new digital trade corridors established by the ASC are critical enabling infrastructure to support and sustain this growth.
“We are acutely aware of the growing trade and dependence between Australia and Indonesia,” says Bowen.
“In the recently released Australian Government Foreign Policy White Paper it was noted that Indonesia is of first order importance to Australia, both as a major bilateral partner and as a country that will influence the shape of the regional order.
“ASC establishes a modern, world-class system that utilises latest generation technology and equipment to provide a flexible, dependable, high performance network that’s purpose-designed for the future.”
The President Director of XL Axiata Dian Siswarini outlined a set of key benefits for her market, including “the availability of high capacity, high reliability international bandwidth which will enable XL Axiata customers to enjoy this luxury, including corporate, Government and Internet Service Provider customers in Indonesia”.
Philippe Piron, President of Alcatel Submarine Network said: “ASN is involved in several initiatives aiming to manage traffic growth and meet multi-terabit capacity demands globally and regionally. The ASC system is a building block of these initiatives and this project further strengthens the collaboration developed over the years, initially with Nextgen and now with Vocus.”
