Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Telkom) has officially begun to build a 1,401km backbone, the 'Mataram Kupang Cable System'. The Mataram-Kupang Cable System will be part of the Palapa Ring configuration. The Palapa Ring is a government initiated project which will roll out an optical fibre network consisting of 35,280km of submarine cable and 21,708km of inland cable. The network will form seven rings and cover 33 provinces and 460 districts in eastern Indonesia. Telkom will start by building a sea link to connect Mataram and Kupang which will have a capacity of 300 Gbps. Telkom has also been rolling out fibre in other parts of the country as part of its Telkom Super Highway plan. Additionally, Telkom will launch a satellite next year, the Telkom 3.
