High-speed broadband to be deployed by June
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009KUALA LUMPUR: The country’s high-speed broadband is expected to be deployed by the middle of next year, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.
Deputy Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Joseph Salang Gandum said the system is being tested at four exchanges in the Klang Valley — Bangsar, Shah Alam, Subang Jaya and Taman Tun Dr Ismail.
Telekom Malaysia, he said, has also started physical work at 22 other exchanges nationwide.
“The network access will provide highspeed broadband via 1.3 million premises in the Klang Valley, Iskandar Malaysia, and in several economic and industrial zones in Malaysia,” he said in reply to Saifuddin Nasution Ismail (PKR — Machang) during question time.
“The comprehensive testing is to be completed this year and the service will come on stream by the middle of next year.”
Joseph said that apart from last-mile access, the joint venture project between the Government and Telekom Malaysia would also cover the core network and the international gateway which is currently under preparation.
“Most of the domestic core network has been installed and is being tested. As for the international gateway, the existing AmericanAsia Gateway undersea cable system is being enhanced and work is expected to be completed by year end,” he said. — Bernama
Damage to submarine cables, slow surfing for Malaysians
Thursday, August 13th, 2009PETALING JAYA: Internet users in Malaysia may have trouble surfing websites hosted in the United States and Taiwan for the next couple of weeks due to damage to a submarine cable system.
Internet service provider TM said there would be slow connectivity after the Asia-Pacific Cable Network 2 (APCN2) submarine cable system was damaged by unknown causes.
The ISP has posted an alert on its website (www.tm.com.my) informing users of this, a company spokesman said.
The damage was first discovered in July. Internet connectivity was supposed to return to normal by Aug 16.
However, TM discovered two more faults which occurred on Aug 6 and Aug 12.
The last damage was detected near Taiwan but the cause has still not been ascertained.
“Our technicians are on the job and we are waiting for confirmation on what caused the damage to the APCN2 system,” said the spokesman, adding that a full recovery of Internet services will now be delayed.
The company was also unable to confirm whether the damage was caused by Typhoon Morakot, which swept over Taiwan and caused Internet users in Singapore to experience a slowdown.
The Straits Times reported that the typhoon, which caused the worst flooding in Taiwan in 50 years, damaged the APCN2 system and made it difficult for Internet users in the island republic to connect to websites hosted in the United States and Taiwan.
The last time users here experienced a major slowdown in Internet services was when the same cable was damaged by an earthquake in December 2006.

Submarine cable links East Africa to Europe
Friday, July 24th, 2009Submarine cable links East Africa to Europe
MOMBASA (Kenya): East Africa has taken a big step toward joining the wired world with the launch of the first undersea fibreoptic cable linking Europe to one of the world’s poorest regions.
Telecoms companies Seacom and Cisco Systems said in a statement that the start of broadband services will make fast Internet cheaper and more accessible in places like Kenya.
Seacom working ath the sea-shore
Seacom’s Brian Herhily says the launch marks the “dawn of a new era for communications between the continent and the rest of the world.”
The 17,000km cable allows information to be sent at speeds of 1.28 terabytes per second, fast enough to stream high-definition video. It connects Djibouti, Madagascar, Mozambique, Kenya, South Africa and Tanzania to India and Europe.
Southern and Western Africa already have broadband services.
As the West has grown used to taking streaming video and Internet phone calls for granted, Africa has remained far behind.
The Indian Ocean’s east African seabed is the only one in the world without a submarine fibreoptic cable, forcing the region to rely heavily on limited and expensive satellite links.
The International Telecommunication Union sees businesses such as the Internet cafes as leading the growth in Internet use and services in Africa. — AP

Nationwide TM Backbone Upgrade – 10 Gbps!
Thursday, May 14th, 2009TM (Telekom Malaysia) will perform upgrade nationwide backbone to 10 Gbps on 19th and 25th May 2009. us the upgrade. Intra ISPs connection through Malaysia Internet Exchange will be improved. Earlier this month we experienced intermittent degradation of speed due to TM – MYIX reached full capacity.
Traffic between ISPs through MYIX now growing rapidly. 10 Gbps upgrade would certainly help to elevate bottlenecks during peak hours. Majority of DSL subscribers are from TM Network, so by upgrading the network traffic connection to other ISPs will be improved as well.
There will be network downtime during the upgrade. We also hope that TM would upgrade international capacity as well in line with national backbone upgrade but that is entirely different network and that will cost TM more $$$
