Hawaiian Telcom (NASDAQ:HCOM) announced today that the Federal
Communication Commission has approved the landing license for the
state-of-the-art Southeast Asia – U.S. (SEA-US) fiber cable system.
This key milestone enables the connection between the U.S. and
Indonesia.
“Hawaiian Telcom invested $25 million to become an owner and
operator of SEA-US, the most technologically advanced trans-Pacific
cable system providing the fastest direct access between the U.S.
and Indonesia,” said CEO Scott Barber. “With this investment, we
have added needed broadband capacity, which will serve the state of
Hawaiʻi for many years to come. SEA-US will connect Hawaiʻi to
more than two billion people in the Philippines, Indonesia and
Southeast Asia, as well as the mainland U.S., providing the
infrastructure to launch new economic opportunities.”
“Our investment in SEA-US, combined with our $500 million
investment to lay next-generation fiber infrastructure throughout
the islands, helps to ensure that Hawaiʻi has a strong internet
backbone to support economic growth,” said Barber. The SEA-US
undersea fiber cable was successfully connected at the shore-end in
Hermosa Beach, California where construction of the cable landing
station is expected to be completed later this month. The ship
laying the submarine fiber is en route to Honolulu, scheduled to
arrive in February.
The historic $250 million SEA-US cable system will extend more
than 9,300 miles on a route designed to bypass congested,
earthquake-prone regions (Luzon Straight) and optimize stable
connectivity. It will deliver an initial 20 terabit per second
(Tb/s) capacity, using state-of-the-art 100 Gigabit per second
(Gb/s) technology. This capacity will help to meet the
exponentially growing demand for bandwidth between the U.S. and
Asia, while enabling onward connectivity to existing and planned
submarine cable systems.
SEA-US consortium members include Globe Telecom (Manila,
Philippines), GTA (Tamuning, Guam), GTI (Los Angeles, California),
RTI (San Francisco, California), Telin (Jakarta, Indonesia), and
Telkom USA (Los Angeles, California).
