Optical Networks for the New Capital

The government began planning infrastructure development in the long-awaited new capital city candidate, such as optical fiber-based telecommunications networks that promise superfast access.

The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology plans to establish a Palapa Ring fiber-optic network specifically for Kalimantan, which is likely a continuation of East Palapa Ring network. The Ministry of Communication will utilize the roadside in Kalimantan to establish the system, especially those around the new capital city.
