 The NCC cable landing ceremony was also attended by Coordinating Minister for Economic
Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Airlangga Hartarto, Deputy Prime Minister &
Minister for Trade and Industry of The Republic of Singapore Gan Kim Yong, Indonesian
Ambassador to Singapore Hotmangaraja Panjaitan, Managing Director Business-2 of 
Danantara Indonesia Setyanto Hantoro, Deputy Governor Of Batam Nyanyang Haris Pratamura,
as well as members of the Boards of Directors of Telkom, Telin, BW Digital, and 
Nongsa Digital Park.

 **Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Airlangga
Hartarto** stated, _“Indonesia’s digital transformation needs to be supported by
robust physical infrastructure and increasingly strong connectivity. NCC serves 
as the physical foundation for a new digital corridor connecting Indonesia and Singapore,
while further strengthening Batam’s position as Indonesia’s digital gateway. The
presence of NCC is expected to reinforce the strategic position of both countries
in the global digital ecosystem and value chain, while creating opportunities for
greater investment, innovation, and new technology-driven economic activities.”_

 The Cable Landing Ceremony celebrates the successful deployment of NCC, a strategic
subsea cable system that connects Batam and Singapore through one of the shortest
and most direct routes across the Singapore Strait. NCC is one of two new Batam–
Singapore subsea cable systems developed by Telkom Group, alongside the Indonesia
Singapore Cable System (INSICA), to further strengthen digital connectivity between
Indonesia and Singapore. As a key segment of the Indonesia Cable Express (ICE) ecosystem,
NCC strengthens international connectivity while supporting Indonesia’s ambition
to become a leading digital hub in Southeast Asia.

 _“Strategic investments such as the NCC are fundamental, as strengthening digital
sovereignty and infrastructure can serve as a catalyst for innovation, competitiveness,
and growth across various industries. This infrastructure is expected to generate
a broader economic multiplier effect by driving the growth of industries in Batam
and across Indonesia, ultimately contributing to stronger national economic growth
and resilience,”_ said **Setyanto Hantoro, Managing Director Business-2 of Danantara
Indonesia,** during the press conference.

 Spanning approximately 50 kilometers and equipped with 24 fiber pairs, NCC is designed
to deliver high-capacity, low-latency connectivity to meet the rapidly growing demand
for cloud services, hyperscale platforms, artificial intelligence (AI), and data
center interconnection across the region. Landed successfully in the latest international
cable touch point in Batam, NCC represents a critical milestone toward the system’s
operational readiness and reinforces the shared commitment of Government of Indonesia
to ensure the development of world-class digital infrastructure in Indonesia.

 Beyond enhancing regional connectivity, NCC is expected to accelerate Indonesia’s
digital economy by attracting investment in digital infrastructure, supporting the
expansion of AI-ready data centers, enabling enterprise digital transformation, 
and strengthening the resilience and diversity of international network routes between
Indonesia and Singapore. The project also reinforces Batam’s position as Indonesia’s
strategic digital gateway, creating new opportunities for innovation, business growth,
and high-value digital investments.

 **Dian Siswarini, President Director of Telkom Indonesia,** added, _“Through the
continued development of sustainable digital infrastructure, TelkomGroup is committed
to strengthening Indonesia’s digital sovereignty while delivering tangible impact
on the growth of the national digital economy. NCC represents a strategic collaboration
between Indonesia and Singapore in building a more connected and competitive digital
ecosystem. This strategic infrastructure not only strengthens Indonesia’s digital
connectivity and resilience, but also provides greater route diversity and enhanced
connectivity for Singapore as a regional digital hub, creating mutual benefits for
both countries,” Dian concluded.”_

 **Budi Satria Dharma Purba, Director of Wholesale & International Service of Telkom
Indonesia,** said, _“NCC establishes a new digital corridor between Indonesia and
Singapore as part of the Indonesia Cable Express ecosystem. Together with future
ICE developments, it will strengthen international connectivity, support AI-ready
digital infrastructure, and provide greater network resilience for enterprises, 
hyperscalers, and digital businesses across the region.”_

 **Ludovic Hutier, Chief Executive Officer of BW Digital,** stated, _“The successful
landing of NCC demonstrates the power of strategic partnerships in delivering critical
digital infrastructure for Southeast Asia. Together with Telin, we are creating 
a future-ready connectivity platform that supports the region’s accelerating demand
for cloud, AI, and data center services. NCC is also a critical component of BW 
Digital’s broader digital ecosystem, which includes Citra Connect’s terrestrial 
fibre network and NDP1 144MW data centre campus in Batam, providing the end-to-end
infrastructure our customers need to support their regional expansion.”_

 **Mike Wiluan, Chief Executive Officer at Nongsa Digital Park,** added _“Today’s
cable landing is more than the completion of digital infrastructure, it represents
the strengthening of an ecosystem. At Nongsa Digital Park, we are bringing together
connectivity, data centers, cloud platforms, AI innovation, digital talent, and 
global enterprises into one integrated hub. Through our collaboration with TelkomGroup,
BW Digital, and the support of both the Indonesian and Singaporean governments, 
we are creating a gateway that connects Indonesia to Singapore and beyond. Together,
we are building the digital bridge that enables Indonesia to play a greater role
in the global digital economy. NDP is now officially a new destination point for
domestic and international subsea fibre optic cables, and we look forward to welcoming
more in the near future.”_

 As part of the broader Indonesia Cable Express (ICE) initiative, NCC complements
TelkomGroup’s long-term strategy to expand international connectivity infrastructure
and strengthen Indonesia’s role within the regional digital ecosystem. By combining
resilient international networks with the continued growth of digital infrastructure
in Batam, the project is expected to support the expansion of cloud services, digital
platforms, and emerging technologies that will shape Southeast Asia’s digital future.

 The successful cable landing marks another important milestone in realizing a more
connected, resilient, and future-ready digital landscape, reaffirming TelkomGroup’s
commitment to powering digital growth across the region.Hashtag: #Telin #NCCLandingCeremony#
