Section 1: Executive Summary
Project Title: Sihanoukville Digital Sovereign Zone (SDSZ)
Primary Goal: To establish a secure, “Clean Network” digital ecosystem at the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port (PAS) utilizing 100% U.S.-trusted technology.
The Challenge:
Sihanoukville, Cambodia’s primary deep-sea gateway, is currently undergoing a massive JICA -backed physical expansion to handle 1.5 million TEUs annually. However, its digital backbone remains critically dependent on Metfone/Viettel—an infrastructure managed by a foreign military entity and grounded in the high-risk “50% OGB” (Ocean Ground Bed) submarine system. This creates an unacceptable vulnerability for international shipping data and American commercial interests.
The Solution:
The SDSZ project bypasses these risks by deploying a sovereign digital overlay. We integrate AS Space (LEO) direct-to-cell backhaul with a UFi WiFi 7 (802.11be) mesh network. This “Clean Pipe” is secured by a Fnet cybersecurity fabric and an HPJ AI core, ensuring that 100% of data traffic is encrypted and routed through trusted U.S. gateways.
Strategic Impact:
By providing the secure digital infrastructure required for real-time Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and terminal synchronization, the SDSZ will reduce port logistics bottlenecks by an estimated 20%. This project offers the U.S. State Department a high-visibility model for “Digital Solidarity,” proving that U.S. technology can provide a superior, sovereign, and secure alternative to state-owned monopolies in Southeast Asia.
Submission Finalization Note
This summary ties together your technical stack (AS, HPJ, Fnet) with the local economic reality (PAS Port expansion) and the geopolitical priority (Countering Metfone/Viettel).
