Telcotech has signed a contract with Kampus to expand its data center footprint, as one of the critical pillars to support Cambodia’s digital economy.

Aligned with the Royal Group of Companies to fast track the Kingdom’s economic recovery post-pandemic, it is instrumental to have advanced digital infrastructure to showcase Cambodia has the right ICT infrastructure in place to cater to rapid domestic growth while also attracting foreign players.

Telcotech was founded in 2007 by the Royal Group of Companies and is the first and only Khmer company who fully own Malaysia-Cambodia-Thailand (MCT) submarine cable, and also a consortium member of the Asian American Gateway (AAG), that carries all Cambodian internet traffic in and out, around the world.

The company added that data growth for Cambodia has been phenomenal with the adoption of cloud services.

Telcotech’s vision is to build high-class and advanced standards of digital infrastructure that sits at a par with advanced neighboring countries and aligns with ASEAN’s digital master plan 2025, as a leading digital community and economic bloc, powered by secure and transformative digital services, technologies and ecosystem.

Yuni Lee Heathcote, representing Telcotech, and Simon Griffiths, owner of Kampus, participated in the contract signing ceremony on January 12 at the Kampus’ headquarters, a significant milestone witnessed by Hun Many and Neak Oknha Kith Meng.

“It is important for Telcotech to continuously push boundaries, both for our customers, partners and the industry as whole. So it’s imminent for us to adopt the best practice, get the best people and work with the best partners. It’s no longer a wish list, Telcotech is making it a reality and delivers. I am truly excited with this curation with Kampus, to see the synergies becoming alive,” said Heathcote.

Kampus is a center that focuses on a new style of working in Cambodia based around collaboration, community, capacity building, learning and development. The Kampus concept aims to provide workspace while enhancing workforce capacities, skills and self-assurance. Another significant achievement for the center is the agreement to give space for Telcotech to increase its data storage.
