Vietnam’s EVNTelecom group invested in this route, which is being installed by the VSNL International or TATA Communications at present.
Vo Quang Lam, who is in charge of EVNTelecom’s pan-Asia cable project, said the firm will invest $30 million in the construction of the major cable, which costs a total of $120 million, to have the right to use a capacity of 50Gbps.
EVNTelecom will build a cable landing station in the southern coastal city of Vung Tau to enable its connection to Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan.
The pan-Asia will allow EVNTelecom to connect directly to the TGN-Pacific cable system and some cable landing stations in the US.
