High Performance BackBone (HPBB)

HPBB functions as the main backbone of PT. Telkom in Sumatera. It connects the following places:

• Medan, Pekanbaru, Jambi, Talang-Kelapa, Palembang, BandarLampung, Kalianda, Ciwandan, Cikupa, Jakarta
• Pekanbaru-Padang
• Pekanbaru-Dumai-Bukit Dangas, Batam (partially submarine link)
  

Other issues:

• Length 3,000 km (other sources: 2,000+ km); however this gives enough reasons to revise my former calculation :-)
• CAPEX EUR 70 mio. (that time USD > EUR)
• Construction period : 2002 - 2003
• Contractors: Siemens - Pirelli (Pirelli optical cable division is acquired by Alcatel several years ago)
• Capacity : ?
  

We need a better illustration I guess :-)
