Singtel, Gulf Development to Develop New Submarine Cable Connectivity
By Amanda Lee
Singapore's Singtel and Thailand's Gulf Development plan to jointly develop cable connectivity between the two countries.
Both companies will develop and invest in subsea cable assets through a partnership, they said in a joint statement Thursday.
This would support increasing demand for cloud, artificial intelligence, data center and digital services across the region.
Under the partnership, the companies will participate in the Vietnam-Thailand-Singapore (VTS) Cable System, which creates a new subsea cable link that strengthens Thailand's connectivity to Singapore.
Singtel Singapore and Thai associate AIS will draw on their market expertise, connectivity capabilities and customer reach to support the development and commercialization of the system, according to the statement.
"The VTS Cable System is expected to be operational by 2030, with capital requirements spread out over multiple years," it added.
Both companies could also consider investing in terrestrial cable systems and other subsea cable systems in future.
