The total length of submarine cable installed is 3 820 km, connecting Mersing, Kuching, Bintulu, Miri, Kota Kinabalu and Cherating. This project will support the increase of data traffic from Sabah and Sarawak, since the existing submarine cable system has stretched its full capacity and will reach its life span in a few more years. With the completion of SKR1M, the system will be able to provide a total capacity of up to 12 Tbps with current technology and can be upgraded to the latest technology in the future to provide more capacity. The system is designed to last for at least 25 years.
