Telin Wins Two Awards at Telecom Review Excellence Awards 2026

The Best Wholesale Company in Asia award recognizes Telin's development from a conventional bandwidth provider into a wholesale connectivity partner offering an increasingly integrated range of services.

As international connectivity demand grows, the company continues to develop its business, expand strategic partnerships, and provide services that address customer requirements across different markets.

Telin CEO Abdul Rahman Ansyori said the awards recognize the company's efforts to strengthen its position as a global connectivity provider.

"These awards recognize Telin's efforts to strengthen its role as a global connectivity company. We see that future connectivity needs will become increasingly complex, making collaboration and innovation essential to ensuring that Indonesia is not only part of global data traffic but also plays a strategic role in shaping its development. Therefore, Telin continues to transform beyond conventional network capacity provision through infrastructure development, diversification of subsea cable routes, and wholesale service innovation," Ansyori said.

Telin's Global Wholesale Connectivity Infrastructure

As of the third quarter of 2026, Telin's global infrastructure covered more than 429,167 kilometers of submarine cable networks and 211 Points of Presence (PoPs) across 38 countries.

The network connects customers to major digital centers in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and North America.

Telin's wholesale service portfolio includes international connectivity, IP Transit, International Private Leased Circuit (IPLC), International Ethernet Private Line (IEPL), cloud connectivity, private connectivity, and Internet Exchange access.

These services support the connectivity requirements of telecommunications operators, enterprises, and digital service providers across different markets. The range of services also enables Telin to provide flexible solutions for businesses operating across national borders.

Subsea Cable Innovation Supports Indonesia's Global Connectivity

The Best Subsea Cable Innovation Solution in Asia award recognizes Telin's efforts to develop submarine cable networks that are more resilient and adaptable to industry requirements.

One of its key initiatives is the Indonesia Cable Express (ICE) program, supported by eight memorandums of understanding (MoUs) involving 14 strategic partners. Through this program, Telin is developing new connectivity routes and diversifying cable landing points to strengthen Indonesia's position in global data traffic.

The company's submarine cable portfolio includes BIFROST, TOPAZ, SJC2, and SEA-ME-WE 6. These initiatives are also supported by the development of new landing points and the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI)-based predictive maintenance.

The measures aim to improve network resilience and route diversity while addressing the connectivity requirements of cloud service providers, hyperscalers, telecommunications operators, and digital businesses.

Telin Discusses Emerging Wholesale Connectivity Markets

Telin also participated in industry discussions at the 20th Telecom Review Leaders’ Summit, which carried the theme "Tech Intelligence Beyond Mobility."

During the session titled "Capitalizing on New Wholesale Connectivity Markets," I Ketut Alit Atmaja shared insights into wholesale connectivity market developments and business opportunities emerging from the transformation of the telecommunications industry.

The discussion examined the shift from traditional network capacity services toward connectivity models based on Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), automation, and global orchestration.

These developments create opportunities for service providers to develop new revenue streams through value-added services, simplify multi-operator ecosystems, and provide more flexible and integrated connectivity.

Telin also took part in the "Women in ICT" session, where Arlika Yustiarini, Head of Corporate Communication at Telin, participated as a panelist.

The discussion addressed the importance of expanding opportunities and representation for women in the technology industry, including in leadership and decision-making positions.
