Any new development of this new Excelcomindo's submarine cable ? It rumors that the project has already started in December last year (2008) ... Anybody could confirm this ?


XL is currently the third largest operator, which owns the third largest long distance transmission infrastructure (mainly optical transmission cable). I've mentioned about this in several posts previously. As a complement to those, recently some media quoted XL press release regarding their infrastructure in Bangka Belitung (Babel):

• Jakarta (Pademangan) - Mentigi (Belitung) --> 350 km
• Belitung - Bangka --> 310 km
  
• Bangka - Jambi --> 376 km
  
• Jambi - Batam --> 296 km

• CAPEX : USD 31 mn
• Link Jawa-Sumatera, East Java (Surabaya) - Kalimantan (Banjarmasin)
  
• Length : 550 km
• 4 tender participants; 6 invited; awarded to ASN
• Capacity : 12 FP, 10 Tbps design
  

• "Saat ini rute cincin kabel optik XL untuk Jawa-Sumatra di antaranya berada di titik-titik Ancol-Sungai Liat (Bangka Belitung) dan Anyer-Kalianda (Lampung)"

However, I don't find any official project release from international sources ??!
