Nongsa-Changi Submarine Cable Strengthens Indonesia's Digital Connectivity
The Head of the Batam Indonesia Free Zone Authority (BP Batam) stated that the Nongsa-Changi Cable (NCC) submarine system will be a significant step for Indonesia. This infrastructure is designed to strengthen Batam's position as a primary digital gateway for the country.
The NCC system has a large capacity, consisting of 24 pairs of optical fibers. This technology will connect digital infrastructure between Batam, Indonesia, and Singapore more quickly and stably.
This project is expected to improve the quality of internet and data connectivity in the region. With this cable, the exchange of information between the two countries will become more efficient than before.
The presence of the NCC system is also viewed as a strategic investment to support the national digital economy. The government hopes that this infrastructure can attract more technology investors to enter Indonesia through Batam.
Overall, this project is part of the government's efforts to accelerate digital transformation in Indonesia. It is hoped that this improved connectivity will provide long-term benefits for the public and business players in the country.
