The Asia Connect Cable System[1] (ACC-1) is a subsea fibre optical cable system connecting Singapore with the United States via Guam over a distance of 18,000 kms. The cable System has a number of branches connecting en-route Indonesia[2], Australia, Timor Leste, The Philippines, and Guam. The cable system design commenced in 2022 and expected to be build complete in 2026.
The Cable System takes a direct path between Hermosa Beach and Guam. Leaving Guam the cable takes a route to the south of the Philippines and down through the Indonesian Islands to the Java Sea and west to the north of Jakarta and into Singapore.[3]
The Cable System is owned by Inligo Networks a company based in Singapore with subsidiaries and in Australia and the United States. The company maintains offices in Singapore, Los Angeles and Melbourne.[4]
Landing Points[edit]
The system will connect the cities of:
- Singapore
- Batam, Indonesia
- Jakarta, Indonesia
- Makassar, Indonesia
- Dili, East Timor
- Darwin, Australia
- Manado, Indonesia
- Davao, Philippines
- Piti, Guam
- Los Angeles, United States
Technical Details[edit]
The system comprises of 24 fibre pairs with an anticipated capacity of 256 Terabits per second making it one of the larger fibre cable systems across the Pacific Ocean. The system is being constructed with the use of Wavelength_selective_switching technology allowing capacity to be switched between landing locations as required providing flexibility for users of the cable capacity.
Australian Landing in Darwin[edit]
The Cable System will land into Darwin in a new purpose built open cable landing station in Fannie Bay and be Darwin's first international cable connection since the commissioning of the 1871 Java to Port Darwin telegraph cable.[5] The new Cable Landing Station for Darwin will have a capacity to land 4 subsea cables and provide space for backhaul providers to meet international cables at the location.[6]
The landing of the ACC-1 cable will open up data centre development in northern Australia leading to much needed digital investment in the Northern Territory.[7] Several companies have already announced they are building new Data Centre facilities in Darwin.[8]
