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). It consists of 6 fibre pairs, each designed for 80x100Gbps transmission capacity, totalling the system capacity at 48 Tbps.
 

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.
