US backs secure India-Singapore submarine cable link
WASHINGTON: A US agency on Tuesday announced support for a proposed submarine cable system linking India with Singapore and major Southeast Asian data hubs.
The US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) said it has signed an agreement with SubConnex Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. to fund a feasibility study for the SCNX3 submarine cable system. The project would connect India with Singapore and other parts of Southeast Asia and is expected to serve nearly 1.85 billion people.
USTDA said the study is designed to help attract investment for the cable system and expand capacity needed for Artificial Intelligence and Cloud-based services.
The agency said the effort would also help ensure that international networks remain reliable and secure, while limiting exposure to cyber threats and foreign interference.
