BaSICS
Batam - Sarawak Internet Cable System
 
Privately developed by irix, the Batam - Sarawak Internet Cable System (BaSICS) is what is seen as the irix’s ability and approach to reach out and see the world. Spanning approximately 750km, is a submarine cable that connects Batam (Indonesia) and Sarawak (Malaysia). The system is built on 6 fibre pairs, with two presently activated. Capacity on the Kuching–Batam span reaches 8Tbps, delivered through 80 × 100Gbps wavelengths. Meanwhile, the Kuching–Singapore span achieves 21.2Tbps, supported by 53 × 400Gbps wavelengths.
 

The system forms the shortest latency route from Sarawak and Singapore, with less than 9ms between and irix Kuching 1 DC@Santubong , where the cable system lands, and Equinix Singapore SG3. XL Axiata is irix’s landing partner in Batam.


Cable Landing Station

The BaSICS cable landing station at irix Kuching 1 DC @Santubong is a Tier-IV facility, certified by Uptime Institute.

The Sarawak International Internet Gateway (SIIG) is also hosted at the facility, allowing irix to support Sarawak Multimedia Authority (SMA) in driving the state’s digital economy.
