(Business News & Technology News, 13 May 2008)

NEC Corp. (NEC) has signed a turnkey contract with PT Indosat Tbk (Indosat) in Indonesia for the supply of a submarine cable system to the "JAKABARE" project linking Indonesia and Singapore. The "JAKABARE" (Java - Kalimantan - Batam - Singapore) Submarine Backbone Network will stretch over 1,300km and connect Jakarta (Java), Pontianak (Kalimantan), Batam Island and Changi (Singapore) using NEC's optical fiber transmission system based on 10Gbit/s x 64 wavelengths DWDM technology.

On its completion in the second quarter of 2009, the "JAKABARE" Submarine Backbone Network will supply capacity of 160Gbps in the initial stage, with the potential to increase capacity to 640Gbits/s in the future to provide robust, high-bandwidth connectivity to the growing Indonesian market. This network will meet the need for enhanced backhaul communications capabilities along the Indonesia to Singapore route, as well as for increased capacity to support high-bandwidth broadband services.
