Hexa appoints Globe Telecom as Landing Party in Davao

The MYUS cable is being planned with a ready-for-service date of mid-2028 and will connect Malaysia and the US directly for the first time with high-capacity fiber optic connectivity, enhancing access to reliable and affordable digital services across Southeast Asia.

Hexa Capital Consultancy PLT (“Hexa”), owner of the Malaysia-U.S. (“MYUS”) cable based in Malaysia, appointed Globe Telecom as its Philippine Landing Party for the MYUS cable system.

The MYUS cable is being planned with a ready-for-service date of mid-2028 and will connect Malaysia and the US directly for the first time with high-capacity fiber optic connectivity, enhancing access to reliable and affordable digital services across Southeast Asia. The cable backbone will extend between the Malaysian Peninsula near Sedili to Davao, Philippines, to the U.S territory of Guam, and then directly onward to Alaska Communications’ cable landing station in Florence, Oregon. Along the path, MYUS will also connect Batam, Jakarta, and Balikpapan in Indonesia.

Globe’s cable landing station in Davao will serve as a crucial interconnection point for the project.

“The MYUS cable is being designed specifically to provide trusted and reliable direct fiber connectivity between these locations for large hyperscaler[s], cloud [providers], content [distributors], telecom carriers, and government customers,” according to Dr. Azhari Abang Hadari, the Founder and CEO of Hexa.

“MYUS customers can be confident in the route design because it avoids the problems plagued by other existing undersea cables that transit contested waters in Southeast Asia. The MYUS Network provides efficient routing for the lowest possible latency, and uses well-known, well-proven cable landing sites that have excellent up-time performance as well as widely available backhaul options for Hexa’s fiber pair owners,” added Dr. Azhari. “Globe Telecom was our top choice when we evaluated strategic partnerships in the Indo-Pacific Region, with their long history of stable high-performance fiber optic network and the new PDSCN domestic Philippines fiber system connecting major enterprises and data centers throughout the country.”

“We look forward to a long-term relationship hosting MYUS at our premier landing station in Davao. Our cable landing facilities offer diverse route connectivity to global and regional carriers. The access to customers utilizing our robust state-of-the-art network should give confidence to operators looking to interconnect with domestic and international constituents. Davao is a critical hub for subsea fiber optic cables, which are the backbone of today’s internet,” said KD Dizon, Head of Globe Business.

MYUS will be an open cable with 16 fiber pairs along its backbone. Hexa’s business model is to sell fiber pairs to long-term owners who will demand reliability, resilience, and high cable performance to support their business growth. Hexa’s selection of Globe as a partner builds on its strategy of planning globally and locally with strong, proven, and capable operators that can exceed the requirements of the most demanding customers.
