A groundbreaking partnership between BDx Indonesia, a joint venture between BDx Data Centers, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH), and Lintasarta, along with NeutraDC, a subsidiary of Telkom Indonesia, has culminated in the launch of the first phase of Indonesia’s interconnected Internet Exchange (IX) ecosystem.
The ecosystem, which was initially announced at the Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC) 2024 conference, will eventually encompass a network of 108 interconnected colocation and edge sites across Indonesia. The first phase has seen the operational launch of BDx’s CGK3 & 3A campus in Jakarta and NeutraDC’s Cikarang facility, serving as critical internet aggregation points.
NeutraDC and BDx Indonesia will each operate independent IXs, interconnected through a high-speed, resilient fiber network. This interconnected infrastructure will offer customers a seamless experience, regardless of their location.
The interconnected IX ecosystem will deliver several benefits, including improved resilience, faster access, scalability, and robust disaster recovery. It will also support the development of AI applications, thanks to BDx’s specialized AI data centers.
As the project progresses, key cities like Batam, Surabaya, Medan, Makassar, Bandung, and Semarang are slated to join the ecosystem. This expansion will further enhance internet connectivity across the region, benefiting businesses, driving economic growth, and promoting digital inclusion.
