telcotech Upgrades MCT Submarine Cable to Multi-100G Capacity, Strengthening Cambodia’s Digital Gateway to the Region
Phnom Penh, Cambodia — 17 July 2026 — telcotech today announced a major capacity upgrade of the Malaysia-Cambodia-Thailand (MCT) submarine cable system, increasing the cable’s capability to multi-100G service capacity and further strengthening Cambodia’s direct international connectivity to Singapore via Malaysia.
The upgraded MCT cable is designed to support the rapid growth of high-bandwidth digital services, including OTT platforms, cloud applications, AI services, mobile data, content delivery, enterprise connectivity, and telecom wholesale services. With scalable 100G and beyond connectivity, the upgraded system delivers one of the region’s most stable, competitive, and low-latency routes from Cambodia to Singapore, enabling telecom operators, ISPs, carriers, enterprises, and digital platforms to meet growing regional demand.
The MCT submarine cable spans approximately 1,300 kilometers and connects Cambodia to Malaysia through its regional submarine infrastructure, providing Cambodia with a resilient international gateway to Singapore and the global internet. Since entering service in 2017, MCT has played a vital role in supporting Cambodia’s digital transformation and international connectivity.
The upgrade also creates significant opportunities beyond Cambodia. Businesses and operators in southern Vietnam, particularly Ho Chi Minh City, can benefit from an additional high-capacity international route through Cambodia, providing greater diversity for regional traffic exchange, cloud connectivity, and international bandwidth services.
As demand for cloud computing, AI, financial services, gaming, enterprise applications, and real-time communications continues to accelerate, network latency has become increasingly critical. The upgraded MCT system provides a highly reliable, low-latency connection from Cambodia to Singapore through Malaysia, delivering the performance and resilience required by today’s digital economy.
For millions of Cambodians, the enhanced cable provides the foundation for faster and more reliable internet experiences. As demand continues to grow for video streaming, online learning, remote work, cloud applications, gaming, and AI-powered services, the additional capacity ensures Cambodia is well positioned to support the country’s next phase of digital growth.
