Telin's Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), Kharisma, emphasized AI’s transformative impact on infrastructure. Through innovation and collaboration, Telin is shaping a more inclusive digital future, as further explained during ITW Asia 2024.
Embracing the Digital Transformation
As the Asia-Pacific region continues to drive the global digital revolution, the integration of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the landscape of digital infrastructure. At ITW Asia 2024 in Singapore, Telin underscored its commitment to innovation and resilience in the digital era. As a Diamond Sponsor, Telin’s Chief Commercial Officer, Kharisma, delivered a compelling keynote session titled “Headwinds & Tailwinds in Digital Infrastructure,” offering a forward-looking perspective on the forces shaping connectivity and the pivotal role of AI.
AI’s Exponential Growth and Infrastructure Demands
Kharisma highlighted the rapid rise of AI technologies, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, which is driving exponential growth in data traffic and placing unprecedented demands on digital infrastructure. Technologies such as GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) are making high-performance computing more accessible and cost-effective, fostering innovation across various sectors including healthcare, finance, automotive, and manufacturing. Additionally, AI is playing a crucial role in talent development, equipping the workforce with the skills needed for a digitally driven economy.
However, this surge in AI-driven applications presents significant challenges. Managing the growth in bandwidth demand and ensuring robust connectivity between edge networks and core data centers are critical issues that need to be addressed to sustain the momentum of digital transformation.
Telin’s Proactive Approach to AI-Driven Challenges
“AI is no longer a buzzword—it’s a reality transforming industries and driving traffic between edge and core data centers,A” Kharisma explained. “The challenge is ensuring that digital infrastructure keeps pace with these demands.”
Telin’s approach to these challenges is both proactive and multi-faceted. By investing in projects like the Indonesia Cable Express (ICE), Telin is eliminating bottlenecks and providing direct, low-latency connections between underserved regions and global hubs. This infrastructure is essential for supporting the high-bandwidth requirements of AI applications, cloud services, and real-time data processing.
AI is also reshaping Telin’s internal operations. From streamlining sales processes to improving customer service response times, AI is enabling Telin to deliver consistent, scalable, and efficient solutions. “We’re leveraging AI to enhance every aspect of our operations,” Kharisma noted. “Whether it’s optimizing network performance or improving customer interactions, AI is a key driver of our digital transformation.”
Indonesia’s Strategic Role in the AI-Driven Connectivity Landscape
Telin’s initiatives are also positioning Indonesia as a key player in the global connectivity landscape, particularly in the context of AI-driven advancements. The country’s strategic geographical location, combined with Telin’s investments in projects like ICE, enhances Indonesia’s role as a hub for digital innovation and connectivity. This strategic positioning is crucial for supporting the burgeoning AI ecosystem in the region, enabling seamless data flow and real-time processing capabilities.
Collaborative Vision and Commitment to Digital Growth
Kharisma emphasized the importance of collaboration in achieving Telin’s vision for the future. By working closely with consortiums, hyperscalers, and carriers, Telin ensures that its projects deliver maximum value to all stakeholders and provide superior connectivity solutions to end users.
Telin’s participation at ITW Asia 2024, highlighted by CCO Kharisma’s insightful keynote, underscored the company’s dedication to addressing the challenges and leveraging the opportunities presented by AI and digital infrastructure. Through strategic investments and a commitment to innovation, Telin is building the infrastructure necessary to support the next wave of digital transformation.
As the Asia-Pacific region continues to evolve as a digital powerhouse, Telin’s focus on AI-driven advancements and robust connectivity solutions ensures that businesses, governments, and communities can thrive in an increasingly intelligent and connected world. Telin is not only meeting the current demands of the digital era but also paving the way for a smarter, more resilient future.
