SEAX Global, a leading wholesale connectivity provider in Southeast Asia, has announced the acquisition of a major stake in Interlink Telecom Public Company Limited, a prominent Thai fixed network telecommunications provider. This strategic move, revealed on 13 December 2025, aims to bolster SEAX’s presence across Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and now Thailand, by integrating Interlink’s nationwide fibre network with SEAX’s existing subsea and terrestrial networks.
The acquisition is set to create a fully integrated regional connectivity platform, offering seamless, low-latency connectivity that supports the expanding digital economy in the ASEAN region. SEAX’s Group CEO, Louis Teng, highlighted the partnership’s potential, stating, “By bringing together our regional networks with ITEL’s deep local expertise in Thailand, we’re creating a powerful, customer-focused platform that can keep pace with the rapid digital transformation underway in ASEAN.”
Interlink Telecom will continue to manage operations within Thailand through its new subsidiary, ITEL Global, which will serve both local and global clientele. This collaboration aims to deliver a network footprint with improved reliability and customer-centric services throughout Southeast Asia.
The acquisition comes as Southeast Asia’s digital economy is projected to grow significantly, driven by increased digital adoption and expanding services such as cloud computing and online payments. This growth underscores the demand for reliable fibre connectivity and cross-border data solutions, which SEAX and Interlink aim to address through their combined efforts.
SEAX Global, established in 2013, specialises in submarine and terrestrial cable systems, providing high-performance connectivity across the region. The company, owned by Forbes Asia Billionaire Dato’ Dr. Low Tuck Kwong’s family, holds operational licences in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, allowing it to build and operate private fixed networks for enterprise use.
