en.Wedoany.com Reported - Keppel's Bifrost submarine cable system extends from Asia to the U.S. West Coast, aiming to provide high-capacity connectivity for cloud service providers and data-intensive industries. This system connects Singapore and Indonesia to the U.S. West Coast via Guam, designed to add new bandwidth to one of the world's busiest data routes, deliberately bypassing congested traditional corridors to improve network resilience and latency metrics.

Developed using multiple fiber pairs and modern optical technologies, Bifrost is reported by Keppel and its partners to have a design capacity of up to tens of Tbps per fiber pair, primarily targeting hyperscale operators and international carriers. For customers, this means long-term, guaranteed bandwidth contracts rather than consumer-style subscription services. The cable system itself is a typical industrial product, with thousands of kilometers of armored fiber laid or buried beneath the seabed, and repeaters installed approximately every 70 to 100 kilometers to maintain optical signal transmission in deep-sea environments.
