Huawei unit to build 3-nation undersea cable
Print Edition
CHINA’S Huawei Marine Networks, a global submarine network provider, said yesterday that it won a bid to build the Malaysia-Cambodia-Thailand (MCT) undersea cable system.
Telekom Malaysia Berhad, Cambodia’s Telcotech and Symphony Communication of Thailand are the members of the consortium.
Spanning around 1,300 kilometers, the MCT cable system will connect Cherating in Malaysia and Rayong in Thailand with a branching unit connecting from the main trunk into Sihanoukville in Cambodia, Huawei said in a statement. It added that access to neighboring counties such as Laos and Myanmar will be achieved through further connection to terrestrial-based networks.
“We’re honored to partner with our customers and start working on the development and construction of the MCT optical superhighway to deliver state-of-the-art infrastructure which will contribute to the economic growth and development of the Indochina region,” said Ma Yanfeng, vice president of Huawei Marine Networks.
The MCT cable system will be commissioned and ready for commercial service by the end of 2016.
Telcotech yesterday said the US$70 million project will be the first time for Cambodia to be linked to the region by a submarine cable.
