The seabed beneath Southeast Asia is becoming one of the world’s busiest infrastructure corridors, marked by a cluster of major systems reaching key milestones within months of each other.
Bifrost, the 20,000 kilometres transpacific system led by Keppel and backed by Meta and Telin, is now ready for service and offers Singapore a new route to the US. Earlier in September, Meta and Softbank consortium introduced Candle, a 24-fibre pair system that will run from Japan to Singapore and anchor several new intra-Asia branches along the way.
