MANADO, Indonesia, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia International (Telin), a subsidiary of PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (Telkom), proudly announces the official launch of its new Cable Landing Station (CLS) in Kalasey, Minahasa. This milestone represents a major leap forward in Telin's mission to enhance Indonesia's international connectivity and digital infrastructure focusing on strengthening eastern regional zone.

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. By supporting Bifrost and other upcoming international cable projects, this strategic asset will enhance regional connectivity, foster economic growth, and bolster Indonesia's role as a vital hub in the global digital network.

Telkom reveals new logo: Click to see HERE
South African telecommunications giant Telkom has unveiled a refreshed visual identity as part of a broader brand transformation aimed at modernising its image and aligning with its evolving business strategy. The update, which marks Telkom's most significant visual shift since dropping its iconic 'keypad' logo in 2014, retains the familiar font but introduces a new green accent – a split detail on the 'T' – to symbolise growth and innovation. Alongside the logo refresh, the group has also changed its long-standing tagline from 'Tomorrow starts today' to the more aspirational 'Possible begins here' . According to Gugu Mthembu, Chief Marketing Officer at Telkom, the rebrand represents more than just a visual change. 'This is more than a cosmetic change. Our new identity is a symbol of the internal transformation already underway at Telkom,' she said. 'It's about bringing more colour, humanity and vibrancy into everything we do while staying rooted in our purpose to make the future possible for all.' The new branding will be rolled out across all consumer and business touchpoints, including stores, digital platforms, packaging, and advertising campaigns. The company said the refresh is part of a broader effort to position itself as a forward-looking, inclusive telecoms provider in an increasingly digital and customer-centric market. Industry analysts note that the brand shift comes as Telkom continues to restructure its operations, streamline services, and compete more aggressively in both mobile and fibre markets.

Mitratel Is Said to Weigh Reviving $5.5 Billion Bersama Merger
(Bloomberg) -- Indonesian telecommunications tower company PT Dayamitra Telekomunikasi is considering reviving a merger with rival PT Tower Bersama Infrastructure, people familiar with the matter said, which would mark the second such attempt in a decade. The companies, both listed in Jakarta, have held early talks with prospective advisers about the merits of a potential combination that could create an entity worth about 90 trillion rupiah ($5.5 billion), the people said, asking not to be identified because the deliberations are private. Shares of Dayamitra, known as Mitratel, have fallen about 17% this year, giving it a market value of roughly 45 trillion rupiah. Tower Bersama's stock has dropped about 4%, valuing it at 45.8 trillion rupiah. This would be the second attempt to merge the two tower firms, after a previous plan fell apart in 2015. It would also follow a wave of consolidation in the telecoms sector in Indonesia. Some recent deals include a $6.5 billion merger between PT XL Axiata and PT Smartfren Telecom, and a similar move by CK Hutchison Holdings Ltd. and Qatar's Ooredoo QPSC, which combined their local businesses in 2022 in a $6 billion transaction to create PT Indosat. Mitratel — which is about 72% controlled by PT Telkom Indonesia Persero — owns and manages more than 39,400 towers, according to its latest annual report. Indonesia's government holds roughly 52% Telkom through the nation's sovereign wealth fund Danantara. Tower Bersama, established in 2004 and listed on the Jakarta stock exchange six years later, has more 23,000 telecom sites, according to its website. The company is majority-owned by Bersama Digital Infrastructure Asia Pte, a platform controlled by Provident Capital and PT Saratoga Investama Sedaya. Macquarie Group Ltd.'s asset management arm also holds a significant minority stake in Bersama Digital after it invested around $610 million in 2022. Considerations about a potential merger of Mitratel and Bersama are at an early stage and there's no certainty there will be a deal, the people said. Representatives for Tower Bersama, Mitratel and Danantara didn't reply to requests for comment, while Telkom declined to comment. --With assistance from Tassia Sipahutar.
