Headquartered in Singapore, Digital Edge is a leading developer and operator of interconnection and hyperscale edge data centers across Asia. With a portfolio exceeding 500MW across key Asian markets, the company offers a comprehensive suite of interconnection services, including Cross Connect, Cross Link™, and Edge Peering Internet Exchange (EPIX), enabling secure, low-latency connectivity between facilities.

Indonet, a Digital Edge company, is a full-service ISP and NAP licensed operator of an Indonesian carrier-grade network. To meet the growing demand for higher speed links, Digital Edge and Indonet have partnered with Smartoptics to light up a multi-site ring network. The 800G-ready network interconnects data centers across the greater Jakarta area.

"Indonet is maintaining its competitive position in the rapidly growing Indonesian market by deploying Smartoptics high-speed networking equipment with excellent capital and operational efficiency. Their solutions pack modern technology and performance into compact, energy-efficient hardware that makes the most of each fiber pair. We are excited to be partnering with Smartoptics to deliver world-class services to meet the vast potential of APAC's digitalization journey," says Raphael Ho, Head of Interconnect Engineering and Operations, Digital Edge.

The Smartoptics solution is centered around the 800G-ready DCP-R 34-degree ROADM. The ROADMs are managed efficiently with the SoSmart software suite. The DCP-404 muxponder is used to aggregate 4x100G, maximizing fiber utilization. The plan is to rapidly deploy 800G later this year to further increase cost efficiency and preempt further demand increases.

"This deployment by Indonet in Jakarta is a shining example of how Indonesia and other fast-growing APAC markets can overcome fiber reliability challenges to meet their digitalization potential. 800G will further increase fiber utilization and be necessary as bandwidth needs continue to increase, and that's why our latest open line systems and ROADMs are 800G-ready. This means that 800G optics can easily be added when the time comes soon. We are proud to support Digital Edge's innovations in connectivity in the dynamic, vibrant and growing Asia-Pacific region," says Magnus Grenfeldt, CEO, Smartoptics.
