BRCS (2)

Several days ago, I was unintentionally delivered to pak/bu yudhi's blog, where I found an official route map for BRCS. The following picture shows BRCS cable compared to its competitor (or friend ? :-D) : MIC-1 cable. This is also intended as a revision of my old-post where I mentioned BRCS.

BRCS : What's Wrong?

Update - the illustration at the right is possibly inaccurate! Some people said that BRCS is not through Melacca strait; it connects Batam and Rengit at the right-side of Johor. It is definitely not Rengit as you can see on the illustration. Sorry for this! :-)

BRCS stands for Batam Rengit Cable System. It is a submarine optical cable linking Batam (Kepri, ID) to Rengit (Johor, MY). The cable is owned by XL at ID side and TM at MY side. It is just commisioned on last december.
