The Chief Executive has officially granted Macau Telecommunications Company Limited (CTM) the right to install and operate data centers, according to an order published Monday in the Official Gazette.
This authorization, valid for one year, from Oct. 1, 2024 to Sept. 30, 2025, allows CTM to develop, execute, and make available applications and services for storing and processing customer data.
Macau’s largest telecom provider, CTM will be establishing these data centers on the 1st, 2nd, and 5th floors of its Telecentro Building headquarters on Taipa’s Rua de Lagos.
The company, with a registered capital of 150 million patacas, is well-positioned to undertake this significant project.
The order defines data centers as areas where cloud services can be provided, stipulating that operators must ensure data confidentiality and comply with personal data protection and cybersecurity regulations.
Specifically, the data center operations are subject to Administrative Regulation No. 13/2024, which outlines requirements such as “ensuring the confidentiality of data, as well as complying with the provisions of the law on personal data” and “complying with the provisions of the legislation on cybersecurity”.
