Now, more than ever, Southeast Asia's pioneering role in live digital experiences requires an evolved infrastructure strategy. The region's rapid adoption of livestreaming and the emergence of XR aren't just creating demand; they're pushing networks to their limits.

Looking ahead, we clearly face a future where bandwidth demand will only grow, especially with the increasing pervasiveness of #AI and the resulting need for more capacity. As far as #datacenters are concerned, this means that in order to support this new future, the focus will need to move beyond simply building more – to connecting more.

A global study commissioned by Ciena has found communications service providers’ (CSPs) growing optimism toward artificial intelligence (AI), as more than half of telecom and information technology (IT) engineers surveyed believe the use of AI will improve network operational efficiency by 40 percent or more.

Network operators are investing in infrastructure to boost connectivity across the region. Perhaps unbeknownst to many, a big part of this infrastructure involves international submarine cables carrying #telecommunications traffic between #SEA and the rest of the world.
