Singapore: Connectivity www.viewqwest.com/business to the world Tan Shao Yi Singapore and submarine cable systems Private Leased Circuits 1 Singapore and submarine cable systems • Blessed by geography • No natural disasters • Telecoms hub with many submarine cables terminated • Connectivity options—price, latency, various attributes… Private Leased Circuits 2 Many SE Asian countries purchase capacity in SG • More bandwidth, lower costs (in some cases) and latency guarantees • Terrestrial (via Peninsular Malaysia) and submarine cable routes into Singapore • A lot of IP peering happens in Singapore • Equinix (SG1, SG3, SG2) • SGIX (Global Switch and 1-Net East) • SOX (Global Switch and NUS) • BBIX (Equinix SG1) Private Leased Circuits 3 IMDA’s [submarine] cable landing sites Tuas Causeway Changi North APG AAE1 AAG i2i BBG APG (INDIGO) BSCS SJC C2C SMW3 Jakabare SMW4 MIC1 SMW5 (SeaX-1) Second Link Tanah Merah Jurong Island AIS Matrix PGASCOM (ASC) MIC2/B3JS/BSCS2/NG C2C TIS APCN2 EAC2 IA ASE/Cahaya Private Leased Circuits 4 Submarine cable corridors Private Leased Circuits 5 Application and approvals etc 1. IMDA + 16 agencies • Approvals may take a year or more! 2. Proposed BMH and cable route: • Terrestrial: IMDA, URA, SLA (+ other agencies) • Wet/Submarine: IMDA, MPA 3. Be a good neighbour! APCN2 • Manhole(s), HDD TIS ASC • Cable-crossing(s) Private Leased Circuits 6 Additional considerations when purchasing capacity 1. Limited landing sites • 2/3 of submarine cables traverse through a particularly scenic Park Connector 2. Limited cable corridors • Some submarine cable systems share the same corridors • Some submarine cables laid together for economies of scale (but not necessarily good for redundancy) • Same submarine cable with different cable system names/part of a longer submarine cable system 3. Somewhat limited backhaul routes • Cannot lay cables along expressways • Lots of development (airport, MRT, tunnels, utilities, etc). Private Leased Circuits 7 References Telegeography (2016).

This is the fourth SIUS, and the first in Singapore – indeed, the first to be hosted outside Manchester. The three previous Institutes held in 2014, 2015 and 2016 were a great success, and we have every expectation that SIUS 2018 will be just as intellectually and personally stimulating. While a variety of disciplinary and thematic summer events are well established, SIUS was the first to take aim at the inter-disciplinary field that is urban studies. That was the original rationale for the Institute. For as we move through the 21st century, which has been referred to by some as the “urban age”, so we are faced with intellectual challenges to which any single discipline seems inadequate. Conceptually and methodologically, making sense of our own bits of the urban puzzle – whether that is climate change, energy, infrastructure, housing or migration to name but five issues with which many cities are currently wrestling – demands we look beyond the disciplines in which we have each been trained. Anthropologists, architects, economists, engineers, environmentalists, geographers, historians, linguists, medics, planners, political scientists, sociologists; those working on the cities of the future are many, their intellectual backgrounds varied.
