Fujitsu and Trident to Build Cable from Pilbara to Asia

A new fibre optic network between Perth, the Pilbara and South East Asia is designed to ensure Australia's competitiveness in oil and gas.

Fujitsu Australia and Trident Subsea Cable System have agreed to develop the telecommunications network. Fujitsu will become a strategic delivery partner within Trident's operations for the proposed underwater South East Asia link to connect Perth, via Onslow in the Pilbara and Jakarta in Indonesia, to Singapore.

They say the new network will "boost competitive telecommunications connectivity in WA and in particular the Pilbara region." The Pilbara and North West Shelf areas contain some of the world's largest resource industry operations and capital expenditure projects. Each project has extensive infrastructure and telecommunications needs.

Mike Foster, CEO of Fujitsu ANZ, said: "The $400 million fibre optic network project will build Australian efficiency in the highly competitive global oil, gas and resources market by meeting the substantial demand for resilient, cost-effective, high volume data transmission.
