Telin clinched two wins at Asian Telecom Awards 2025
The company’s initiative to change the way the world connects by enhancing the operations of global enterprises and strengthening network infrastructure.
Telin scored wins in the Submarine Telecom Company of the Year - Indonesia and A2P SMS Monetisation of the Year - Indonesia categories at the Asian Telecom Awards 2025, which respectively honour the company’s advanced subsea cable systems and A2P monetisation solutions.
Advanced subsea cable systems
Telin is redefining the future of global communication with its expansive network of subsea cables. With over 250,000 kilometres of submarine cable infrastructure, Telin is a key partner for hyperscalers, enterprises, and telecom carriers worldwide.
The company is actively involved in several submarine cable consortiums, contributing to key cable systems for intra Asia, Asia to America, and Asia to Europe connectivity such as Singapore Japan Cable (SJC), Southeast Asia US (SEA US), and Southeast Asia – Middle East – Western Europe (SEA-ME-WE) cable system. As global data demands surge, Telin continues to prioritise investments in advanced subsea cable systems with the latest projects such as PEACE, TOPAZ, SJC2, and BIFROST.
The PEACE Cable addresses capacity shortages between Asia and Europe. Spanning the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea, it bypasses traditional chokepoints like the Malacca Strait. Some of its features include its ready-to-use ability with large capacity available, neutral active equipment connecting Singapore and France, and the lowest latency for seamless Asia-Europe traffic.
The TOPAZ Cable system, meanwhile, delivers ultra-low-latency connectivity between Asia and North America. It is the first subsea cable to directly connect Japan to Canada, with an extension to Seattle, USA.
The BIFROST is the first subsea cable directly connecting Southeast Asia to the US West Coast, whilst SJC 2 cable systems connect Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan, addressing the region’s need for increased bandwidth and faster internet speeds.
In addition to these, Telin boasts its ambitious project, Indonesia Cable Express (ICE), which aims to establish Indonesia as a central hub for global digital connectivity. By 2028, ICE will integrate seven major cable systems into a seamless 100,000-kilometre network.
Through these initiatives, Telin has proven its expertise in meeting the rising demand for global data whilst addressing geopolitical and geographical challenges.
Driving growth and security in global enterprises
A report from Analysis Mason Research showed that the global demand for Application-to-Person (A2P) messaging is growing rapidly, with traffic expected to rise from 1,2 billion SMS in 2023 to 2,169 billion SMS by 2028. Whilst over-the-top (OTT) messaging platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger continue to gain popularity, A2P SMS services remain a vital communication tool, especially in regions like Asia and Oceania.
To address the evolving needs of operators and businesses worldwide, Telin offers innovative A2P monetisation solutions paired with a comprehensive Firewall Management system. This solution ensures secure, profitable SMS delivery that allows businesses to monitor and filter traffic in real time.
Amongst its key benefits are the full management of A2P infrastructure, SMS monetisation, secured A2P traffic, cost optimisation, tools to assess and improve A2P messaging, traffic filtering, consultancy services, and an intelligent SMS management suite.
Telin’s A2P solutions have delivered real, measurable results for operators worldwide, and one proof to this is its long-standing partnership with Indonesia’s largest mobile operator. Since 2017, Telin has been managing A2P SMS services for the mobile operator’s nearly 200 million subscribers.
Another notable partnership is with Sri Lanka’s largest mobile network, where Telin exclusively manages its international A2P SMS and international voice termination traffic.
Telin’s approach to A2P messaging management is dynamic and future-focussed. Its Intelligent SMS Management Suite provides a scalable platform for managing increasing traffic volumes, ensuring high-quality service whether for OTP (One-Time Password) messages or promotional campaigns.
Moreover, the A2P messaging management solution is part of Telin’s Managed Service for telecom operators; by providing comprehensive core services like international voice and SMS termination, Fraud Management System (FMS), and monetisation-driven solutions in helping operators transform operational challenges into revenue opportunities.
Its solutions enable partners to explore new opportunities, such as integrating with OTT platforms, expanding global reach, and enhancing customer engagement strategies. With these innovative, secure, and scalable messaging solutions, Telin has successfully managed almost 1 billion messages.
