Pankalan is a submarine cable landing point located in Indonesia, a nation whose extensive archipelagic geography has driven the development of a substantial submarine cable network spanning 97 landing points. As a coastal landing site, Pankalan connects to the national submarine cable system that links Indonesia's many islands and regions. One submarine cable lands at Pankalan, the JaKa2LaDeMa system, which operates entirely within Indonesian waters and serves as an intra-national connection.
The JaKa2LaDeMa cable is a domestically focused system, with all of its endpoints situated within Indonesia. This makes Pankalan part of a corridor designed to strengthen connectivity between Indonesian locations rather than to bridge international borders. With a cable reaching a ready-for-service date in 2010, Pankalan has been part of Indonesia's domestic submarine cable fabric for well over a decade.
The JaKa2LaDeMa cable is the sole submarine cable landing at Pankalan. Spanning approximately 1,700 km in length and reaching ready-for-service status in 2010, this system connects multiple landing points all within Indonesia. Its name and routing reflect a domestic inter-island design, linking Indonesian locations along its path without extending to any foreign country. The cable carries the designation "draft," indicating its classification status within available infrastructure records.
Among Indonesia's 97 submarine cable landing points, Pankalan hosts a single cable, placing it in the top 64% of landing points nationally by cable count. This positions Pankalan well behind major Indonesian hubs such as Batam, which serves 15 cables, and Jakarta and Tanjung Pakis, each hosting 7 cables, as well as Manado with 5 cables and Anyer and Dumai each with 3. Pankalan represents one of many smaller landing points that collectively extend Indonesia's submarine cable reach across its island geography.
Pankalan functions as a single-cable terminus within Indonesia's domestic submarine cable network. Its connection via the JaKa2LaDeMa system supports intra-national inter-island connectivity, contributing to the broader effort of linking Indonesia's dispersed island territories through undersea infrastructure. The cable's 1,700 km length reflects a regional domestic routing rather than an intercontinental or cross-border span.
In the context of Indonesia's submarine cable graph, which encompasses 40 cables across 97 landing points, Pankalan occupies a defined but modest role. Its participation in the JaKa2LaDeMa system means it serves as one node in a chain of Indonesian landing points, illustrating how smaller terminals collectively extend national submarine connectivity beyond the primary hubs that carry the majority of the country's cable traffic.
