The 5.8 billion euros cable company Nexans said it will deliver 250 kilometers of subsea fiber-optic cable to Huawei Marine for the deployment of the SEAX-1 project that will connect Malaysia and Indonesia.

Huawei Marine Networks has selected Nexans’ 24-fiber pair unrepeated (URC-1) cable and a section of land cable for connecting Malaysia and Indonesia with the advanced subsea cable to ensure stable connectivity to meet requirements for bandwidth.

This system will provide reliable connectivity to the rapidly growing number of internet users in the region. Nexans has commenced manufacture of the SEAX-1 cable at its dedicated facility in Rognan, Norway.

“After the success of the last ROC project with Nexans, they were the choice for the SEAX-1 Project. This will help our customer, Super Sea Cable, to provide connectivity to the region,” said Zhang Chi, deputy project director of SEAX-1.
