The Vision Behind ICX: Connecting Worlds
ICX Submarine Cable Systems was founded to tackle the profound disparities in internet access between ASEAN’s underserved communities and the developed world. Inspired by the transformative power of connectivity, ICX champions the belief that internet access is a fundamental human right, as highlighted by the United Nations’ 2016 declaration. Guided by this vision, ICX is dedicated to delivering always-on, high-speed, and sustainable internet access, fostering opportunities for education, innovation, and entrepreneurship to thrive across the ASEAN region.
Transforming Communities Through Connectivity
Guided by a commitment to uplifting communities, ICX aims to connect over 600 million users across ASEAN to the digital and AI-driven economy. The company’s vision extends beyond simply building infrastructure; it focuses on enabling equitable access to the tools and opportunities that drive progress. Through its advanced submarine cable systems, ICX is closing the digital divide and fostering an inclusive digital future, ensuring that no one is left behind in the global digital economy.
Leveraging Cutting-Edge Technology
ICX’s transformative mission is made possible through its collaboration with Alcatel Submarine Networks, deploying state-of-the-art spatial-division multiplexing (SDM) technology and fiber-level optical switching. With a massive 500 Tbps capacity, the submarine cable system directly connects Thailand, Singapore, Guam, and the U.S., providing seamless, low-latency, and high-capacity connectivity. The system’s energy-efficient design reflects ICX’s dedication to environmental stewardship, addressing both the region’s growing demand and the global push for sustainability.

The company reinvests profits into initiatives that uplift communities, focusing on education, healthcare, and free internet access for schools across underserved regions. By combining financial success with tangible social impact, ICX empowers rural communities, builds schools, and enhances public services. This commitment ensures sustainable and equitable growth, reinforcing ICX’s role as a force for positive change.
