StarHub and NeutraDC, the data centre arm of Telkom Indonesia, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to advance Quantum-Safe connectivity solutions across Southeast Asia. This collaboration integrates StarHub’s Low-Latency Data Centre Connect solution with NeutraDC’s carrier-neutral ecosystem, aiming to provide faster and more secure cross-border data exchange for enterprises in Singapore and Indonesia.
The partnership will see StarHub establish a Point of Presence at NeutraDC SNG-3 in Singapore, enhancing ultra-low-latency interconnectivity and cloud-ready access. This move supports Singapore’s role as a regional digital hub, facilitating seamless and secure access to data resources across the region.
In the current digital economy, enterprises require high-performance data exchange capabilities. StarHub’s solution offers a sub-1 millisecond path to cable landing stations, ensuring seamless regional connectivity. The collaboration also focuses on quantum security, which is increasingly replacing current encryption standards to counter future security threats.
Customers will benefit from direct connectivity, software-defined networking, quantum-safe encryption, and service orchestration. Tan Kit Yong, Chief of Regional Enterprise at StarHub, stated, “Through this collaboration with NeutraDC, we’re making it simpler for businesses to move, protect, and scale their data, helping them unlock real performance advantages.”
Sendang Praptomo, CEO of NeutraDC Singapore, added, “Quantum secure connectivity represents the new frontier of security, overcoming the limitations of current encryption standards.”
This partnership extends StarHub’s network of alliances with leading data centre operators, furthering its strategy to expand its Low-Latency Data Centre Connect footprint across Southeast Asia.
