Solusi Sinergi Digital and KAI Expand Fiber Optic Project to Sumatra

Strategic Expansion into New Region

PT Solusi Sinergi Digital Tbk (WIFI), also known as Surge, has signed an addendum to its existing agreement with PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) to extend their fiber optic project to Sumatra. This development follows their successful collaboration that began in 2019 through WIFI's subsidiary, PT Integrasi Jaringan Ekosistem (Weave). The initial agreement allowed Weave to construct, install, operate, and manage a fiber-optic network along Java's railway tracks.

Enhanced Digital Infrastructure

The expansion into Sumatra represents a significant step in enhancing the region's digital infrastructure. By leveraging KAI's existing railway infrastructure, WIFI aims to provide high-speed connectivity that can support various sectors, including telecommunications, business, and government services. This project not only broadens WIFI's revenue streams but also contributes to Indonesia's overall digital development.

Building on Previous Success

The original agreement between Weave and KAI in 2019 marked the beginning of their partnership in building a comprehensive fiber-optic network. The success of this project in Java has paved the way for the current expansion into Sumatra. This continuity demonstrates the effectiveness of their collaboration and the potential for further growth in Indonesia's telecommunications sector.

Future Prospects

The expansion of the fiber optic project to Sumatra is expected to have a positive impact on the regional digital economy. As demand for high-speed internet continues to grow, this infrastructure will play a crucial role in supporting various digital initiatives across the island. Both WIFI and KAI are well-positioned to capitalize on this opportunity, further strengthening their partnership in the process.
