CLS Manado-Minahasa is a critical component of Bifrost Cable System, an international subsea cable project developed in partnership with Keppel and Meta. This cutting-edge system connects Southeast Asia directly to North America, bypassing traditional routes by traversing strategic maritime corridors such as the Java Sea and the Celebes Sea. This new path signi ficantly enhances Indonesia's position within the global digital traffic network. Since the Bifrost cable system kick off announcement in 2021, Telin has been achieving remarkable milestones — from selecting site location, holding the ground breaking ceremony in October 2024, successfully lands the cable in early 2025 and come to completing the overall CLS construction. Following the cable landing at Jakarta CLS last year, CLS Manado-Minahasa are now ready to be fully activated and integrated into Telkom's network. Today, the station stands ready to power Indonesia's digital future and support a growing number of international cable systems. Honesti Basyir, CEO CFU WIB Telkom Group, highlighted the strategic vision behind this development, stating, "The Manado-Minahasa Cable Landing Station marks a bold step in positioning Indonesia as a vital digital gateway for the Asia-Pacific. By connecting directly across the Pacific via Bifrost and preparing for future cables, we are building the foundation for a more connected, innovative, and prosperous digital future for our nation and region." Budi Satria Dharma Purba, CEO of Telin, further emphasized, "The Manado Cable Landing Station is more than just infrastructure; it is a gateway for Indonesia to lead in the digital era. Supporting Bifrost and future cables, we are enabling greater connectivity, innovation, and economic opportunity across the Asia- Pacific region." Designed with advanced, scalable infrastructure, the CLS Manado-Minahasa can accommodate multiple submarine cable systems. Equipped with Beach Man Hole (BMH) integration and robust front-haul connections, it serves as an ideal landing point for future subsea cables and digital platforms. The launch of the Manado-Minahasa Cable Landing Station represents far more than a physical connection —it is a beacon of Indonesia's digital transformation.

Butler Memorial Hospital nurses picketing Monday for safer conditions in workplace
Nurses at Butler Memorial Hospital will hold an informational picket on Monday as they call for safer working conditions. The nurses union, the Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses & Allied Professionals, said Independence Health System is 'failing to respect and protect their front line.' Nurses are asking management to put additional safety measures in place to protect workers. 'Safety isn't negotiable,' says Emergency Department nurse Cara Buckley RN. 'It isn't an option or a bargaining chip. Nursing is a team sport. If you hurt one of us, you hurt all of us and we stand united for each other and our patients in making Butler Memorial Hospital a safer place to work and to heal.' This is one of the issues being addressed as nearly 500 nurses negotiate for a new contract for the first time since Excela Health and Butler Health System merged. 'We care for our patients when they're at their most vulnerable, we worry about their safety – I shouldn't have to worry about mine,' says Butler ICU nurse Shannon Herrington, RN, vice president of Pennsylvania Independent Nurses. 'The hospital has proved in the past to be reactive, not proactive. I want them to be proactive about the safety of everyone at the hospital, patients and healthcare workers alike.' The rally is taking place on East Brady Street outside the hospital with elected officials expecting to join at noon. Independence Health System sent Channel 11 the following statement in response to the picketing: 'Independence Health System and the PASNAP union of registered nurses at Butler Memorial Hospital are negotiating the PASNAP union contract. We've listened closely to members' concerns, especially regarding a priority, mutual challenge - workplace safety. 'The safety and security of our patients, staff and visitors are our highest priorities. We are deeply committed to maintaining an environment where everyone feels safe and valued and welcome input from PASNAP and all employees. While we do not disclose specific details about our advanced security protocols, we continuously monitor, review, and enhance our security measures, as well as foster a culture of preparedness and collaboration with our staff, on-site security, and local authorities. Our goal is that all our facilities remain secure and welcoming places for everyone who walks through our doors. 'Like so many hospitals throughout the country, BMH has been forced to grapple with safety and financial challenges in the post-Covid era and we have asked PASNAP to partner with us on these priorities as we write the next chapter in our turn-around story. 'A PASNAP representative has informed us that they intend to engage in informational picketing outside of BMH today, Monday, March 24. This demonstration is not a strike and will not disrupt employees, operations, or patient care. We respect our nurses' right to voice their concerns, and we remain committed to ongoing dialogue to ensure the best outcomes for our employees, patients, and community. 'We are working cooperatively and respectfully to find solutions to our shared problems are committed to reaching a fair and equitable agreement with PASNAP. To suggest otherwise simply is not the case. We and look forward to continued discussions.' Download the FREE WPXI News app for breaking news alerts.
