Hawaiian Telcom parent company Hawaiian Telcom Holdco Inc. will contribute $25 million for partial ownership in the first submarine cable directly connecting the United States to Indonesia.

It is to connect Indonesia, the Philippines, Guam, Hawaii and California by the end of 2016, according to a statement.

Hawaiian Telcom has joined other international telecommunications companies to form the Southeast Asia – United States, or SEA-US consortium, which will build and operate the new trans-Pacific submarine cable.

The SEA-US system will deliver a state-of-the-art 100 Gigabytes per second, (Gbps) ultra-long haul system, that will provide an initial 20 Terabytes per second (Tbps) of capacity, over approximately 15,000 kilometers of fiber.

“Hawaiian Telcom is proud to participate in this landmark project,” said Eric Yeaman, Hawaiian Telcom president and CEO, in a statement. “Our investment in the SEA-US submarine cable system furthers our strategy to invest in our network and systems and provides us with a unique opportunity to participate in the growing demand for trans-Pacific bandwidth.”
