Only days after making news in Indonesia, telecom and fibre consulting firm APTelecom is back in the headlines, this time in Malaysia, with an appointment to support another submarine cable project.

Hexa Capital Consultancy, a Malaysia-based consultancy firm specialiising in infrastructure development, telecommunications, and strategic investments, has engaged APTelecom to spearhead the pre-sales and post-sales activities for all products relating to the MYUS Submarine Cable Project.

APTelecom will also provide consulting, project management and implementation support for the project.

The MYUS Submarine Cable Project is a strategic initiative aimed at enhancing digital connectivity between Malaysia and the United States, strengthening international bandwidth capacity, and supporting the region’s growing demand for high-speed, reliable telecommunications infrastructure.

The MYUS cable is being planned with a ready-for-service date of mid-2028. MYUS will connect Malaysia and the US directly for the first time with high-capacity fibre optic connectivity, increasing access to reliable and affordable digital services across Southeast Asia.

The cable backbone will extend between the Malaysian Peninsula near Sedili to the US territory of Guam at the new Alupang Cable landing station and data centre and then directly onward to Alaska Communications’ cable landing station in Florence, Oregon. Along the path, MYUS will also connect Batam, Jakarta and Balikpapan in Indonesia, and Davao in the Philippines.

APTelecom will be responsible for market positioning, customer engagement, and revenue generation strategies for MYUS products, ensuring a seamless transition from project development to commercial operations. The firm will also oversee project execution, ensuring efficiency and adherence to industry best practices.

We announced last week that Indonesian operator Super Sistem had also appointed APTelecom to engage prospective customers on its behalf, in this case to undertake presales for the Indonesian Barat Timur Indonesia (BTI) submarine cable system. APTelecom is also taking responsibility for the implementation and project management function for installation of the system.
