Telin, which operates as the international arm of PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk. (Telkom), is currently deployed in Equinix’s International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers in Singapore (SG1) and Hong Kong (HK1). Both Singapore and Hong Kong are vital hubs for international business, finance and trade in the Asia-Pacific region. Outside of Asia Pacific, Telin also has a U.S. presence with Equinix in its Los Angeles (LA1) and Silicon Valley (SV8) data centers. Working with Equinix will enable Telin to experience the direct benefits of access to an established, network-dense and highly secure ecosystem, powered by high-connectivity and low latency. In addition, Telin’s participation in Equinix Marketplace™ provides access to more than 4,000 networks, enterprises, cloud and content service providers across the region and the globe.
Telin is part of the consortium that owns the Asia-America Gateway (AAG) cable network, which connects Southeast Asia and the United States. As a result of soaring trans-Pacific bandwidth demand, the cable network will undergo an upgrade that will be completed by Q4 2012, allowing Telin to provide bandwidth capacity at a minimum of 180 Gbps to its customers. Telin will also join the upcoming South East Asia-Japan Cable (SJC) consortium, which will be in service by 2013.
“The proliferation of communications devices and applications is driving the need for advanced telecom infrastructures to host and transmit data. To meet this demand, we need to constantly evolve our networks and service offerings,” said S.P.Natigor Sitorus, chief marketing officer, Telin. “We chose to work with Equinix because they help to broaden our services and provide easy access to customers and global partners, as well as increase the quality of interconnectivity across an extensive digital supply chain.”
“In today’s increasingly connected world, businesses see high-performance network connectivity as a critical enabler of competitive advantage in the global economy. Our global footprint and high quality of security, service and high-speed connectivity across multiple markets will help Telin build its networks and innovate for the future,” said Andrew Oon, business development director, networks and content for Equinix Asia Pacific. “This engagement adds to our broad choice of network connectivity options for customers.”
Telin has regularly participated in Equinix’s annual Asia Peering Forum, which provides the peering community with an opportunity to meet and exchange insights and experience.
