March 2017 - Internet infrastructure specialist Flexenclosure has taken a firm grip on the cable landing station market in the Pacific region with a second order in as many weeks. Flexenclosure today announced that it will deliver a cable landing station to Belau Submarine Cable Corporation (BSCC) in Palau. Last month, Flexenclosure announced a separate deal for two cable landing stations in Samoa.

BSCC have ordered Flexenclosure’s eCentre CLS solution to terminate the island nation’s connection to the SEA-US trans-Pacific cable. The SEA-US project will connect Indonesia to California via the Philippines, Guam and Hawaii, and will provide Palau with its first ever direct fibre connection to the rest of the world. Construction of the eCentre at Flexenclosure’s factory in Sweden has already been completed. The facility is now en route to Palau where deployment is planned for the spring of this year.

”Being able to finally introduce reliable high speed Internet services to the nation’s 21,000 inhabitants is of huge importance to Palau, as the country is only connected via satellite today,” said George Rechucher, Chairman of BSCC. ”This has been a very long time coming and will help to transform Palau into a more globally engaged society.”
