National Telecom Plc (NT) has partnered with Telehouse Thailand, a renowned global provider of data center colocation services, to deliver high-capacity international data transmission via submarine cable systems.

The connection links NT’s Sriracha Cable Landing Station directly to the Telehouse Bangkok facility, which is now fully operational. This initiative significantly enhances Thailand’s telecommunications backbone, supporting the country’s digital transformation across both public and private sectors.

This partnership marks a major milestone in advancing the Thai government’s vision of establishing the country as an ASEAN digital hub. Through the direct integration of NT’s international submarine cable network at Sriracha.

Telehouse Thailand will offer domestic content providers and ISPs from neighboring countries seamless access to the Asia Direct Cable (ADC) and Asia America Gateway (AAG) systems.

The ADC network connects seven countries: China, Hong Kong, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam—many of which host data centers for major cloud and content providers. Meanwhile, the AAG network extends connectivity from Asia to the US.

Additionally, NT’s domestic submarine cable system provides alternative routing via Thailand’s Gulf coast to NT’s international cable landing stations in Songkhla and Satun provinces, ensuring reliable global reach across multiple regions.

Col Sanpachai Huvanandana, NT’s president, said this collaboration expands Thailand’s business potential and telecommunications readiness in the AI era. With terabit-scale capacity and high-reliability network design, international connectivity infrastructure addresses the critical requirements of global cloud and content providers when considering investment in Thai data center facilities.

“Leveraging NT’s submarine cable network, a core element of Thailand’s telecommunications infrastructure, enables our customers to efficiently handle the huge volumes of data traffic from Gen AI and cloud services, which are expected to significantly grow. As Bangkok’s leading carrier-neutral interconnection data center, Telehouse further strengthens this submarine connectivity and high service availability with the four diverse incoming fiber routes,” Ken Miyashita, managing director of Telehouse Thailand, said.

He said this strategic alliance reinforces both NT and Telehouse’s dedication to enhancing Thailand’s digital infrastructure, paving the way for the country to achieve its vision as a top-tier regional interconnection hub.
