The new system brings a new era of information sharing and transfer to the people of Indonesia and Malaysia
Tianjin, China, 13 January, 2012: Huawei Marine Networks Co, Ltd. (Huawei
Marine), today announced the successful completion of the BATAM-DUMAI-MELAKA
(BDM) Cable System that links the island cities of Batam and Dumai in Indonesia with a
turnkey solution by adding a new landing point at Melaka in Malaysia.
This new solution provides the joint-operators of the system – Telekom Malaysia
Berhad, PT XL Axiata Tbk., and PT Mora Telematika Indonesia – with the exceptional
bandwidth improvement they require to meet the increasing demand for international
communications in Malaysia and Indonesia.
“I would like to thank Malaysia Berhad, PT XL Axiata, and PT Mora Telematika
Indonesia for allowing Huawei Marine the opportunity to provide this important
system,” said Mr. Nigel Bayliff, CEO of Huawei Marine. “The completion of this BDM
cable system not only highlights the delivery and installation capabilities of Huawei
Marine, but most importantly, will bring a new era of information sharing and transfer
to the people of Indonesia and Malaysia.”
The delivery of the system proved to be quite challenging due to the complex
environment. It required a NEXANS URC-1 cable to be buried at a depth of three
meters across the Strait of Malacca, which is well known for its extraordinarily busy
shipping lanes. BDM cable also had to cross several existing cables and be ready for
service within a tight delivery schedule. With the expertise of Global Marine on cable
installation challenges have been overcome.
