Last updated August 31, 2026
Overview
Telin Singapore is the Singapore-based operating subsidiary of PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia International, commonly known as Telin. Telin forms part of the Telkom Indonesia Group and is responsible for extending the group's international telecommunications and information-communications footprint beyond Indonesia. The Singapore entity was incorporated on 6 December 2007 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Telkom Indonesia International. Singapore provides Telin with a strategically important regional base. The city-state is a major telecommunications interconnection point and data-centre market in Southeast Asia, with dense links to submarine cable systems, internet exchanges, cloud infrastructure, enterprise networks and regional carrier ecosystems. Within this setting, Telin Singapore's role is associated with international communications, data connectivity and infrastructure services rather than with a mass-market consumer mobile brand. A significant regulatory milestone came in May 2008, when the company received a Facilities-Based Operator licence from Singapore's Infocomm Development Authority, now known as the Infocomm Media Development Authority. The licence enabled Telin Singapore to operate communications facilities and support the company's broader objective of increasing the reach of Telkom Group services. Its business orientation is therefore infrastructure-led: connecting customers, carriers and locations through international network capacity and related telecommunications facilities. The company's infrastructure ambitions became more visible in June 2015, when it began construction of the Telin-3 data centre in Jurong, Singapore. The project was reported as having a planned investment of US$115 million and was intended to strengthen Telin's data-centre and connectivity presence in Singapore. The facility formed part of the wider expansion of Telin's international infrastructure portfolio, supporting requirements such as network interconnection, data hosting and enterprise connectivity. Telin Singapore has also participated in regional connectivity development. In 2018, it partnered with Campana Group on internet connectivity between Myanmar and Singapore. This initiative reflected Telin's broader strategy of linking Indonesia and other Asian markets through Singapore and using the country as a regional communications hub. Publicly available reference material provides limited detail on Telin Singapore's management structure, customer base, revenue, current product catalogue and later corporate developments. On the available evidence, the brand is best understood as an infrastructure and international-connectivity subsidiary within Telin's regional network, rather than as an independently positioned consumer telecommunications operator.
History
Telin Singapore was incorporated on 6 December 2007 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Telkom Indonesia International, the international telecommunications company of Indonesia's Telkom Group. Its creation gave the group a dedicated Singapore vehicle for developing overseas telecommunications infrastructure and services. The company reached an important regulatory milestone in May 2008, when Singapore's Infocomm Development Authority granted it a Facilities-Based Operator licence. This authorization provided the regulatory foundation for operating telecommunications facilities in Singapore and supported Telin's plan to broaden the operating reach of Telkom Group services outside Indonesia. Singapore's role as a regional interconnection and data-centre location made it a natural base for this international expansion. Telin Singapore subsequently developed a stronger infrastructure focus. In June 2015, it began construction of the Telin-3 data centre in Jurong. The project was reported at an intended cost of US$115 million. The development was aligned with the group's strategy of building international data-centre and connectivity capabilities, and it reinforced Singapore's importance within Telin's regional network footprint. In 2018, Telin Singapore worked with Campana Group to develop internet connectivity between Myanmar and Singapore. The partnership illustrated the company's regional role: rather than concentrating only on domestic Singapore services, it used the country as a platform for cross-border network development and links among Southeast Asian markets. The available reference material does not provide a detailed account of subsequent projects, financial performance, executive appointments, customer segments or changes in ownership. It does, however, establish a consistent identity for Telin Singapore as an infrastructure-oriented subsidiary of Telin, with activities spanning international communications, connectivity and data-centre services.
