Southeast Asian wholesale connectivity provider SEAX has acquired a major stake in ITEL (Interlink Telecom), a Thai fixed network telecommunications provider.

Through the acquisition, SEAX gains a foothold in Thailand to add to its presence in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. The firm will integrate ITEL’s nationwide fibre network infrastructure and telecommunications licences with its regional subsea and terrestrial networks, augmenting its cross-border reach with ITEL’s on-ground operational capabilities. This will result in faster deployment timelines, greater service flexibility, and more seamless regional connectivity.

As part of the agreement, the companies have formed a new subsidiary branded as ITEL Global which will continue managing operations in Thailand while serving international requirements from both local and global clientele.

Louis Teng, Group CEO of SEAX Global, said, "By bringing together our regional networks with ITEL’s deep local expertise in Thailand, we’re creating a powerful, customer-focused platform that can keep pace with the rapid digital transformation underway in ASEAN. This partnership enables us to deliver robust, low-latency connectivity solutions that meet the evolving needs of enterprises and digital ecosystems seeking seamless cross-border service."
