 提要

缅甸军政府已经扩大了光纤电缆（FOC）技术建设项目，内比都可以通过相连的国家{zxj}的电子系统网络、连接各大xx司令部。该电缆连接掸邦的东枝市、缅军的东部xx司令部；设在景栋的三角洲xx司令部。

2000年以来，缅甸军政府实施了设在若开邦的西部xx军事司令部光纤电缆（FOC）技术建设项目，在克钦邦密支那的北部xx司令部，在腊戍的东北xx司令部。

丹瑞大将是亲自参与该项目，丹瑞坚持，xx保持独立的电子网络。他担心，军事通信秘密为敌对的机构，种族暴乱分子，停战组织或外国情报机构截获。

丹瑞大将有个关于军事通信的梦想。“他认为无线通信不可靠，因为他认为这将为敌对组织截获。这就是为什么他希望他的所有军事基地，通过光纤电缆联系在一起。

“丹瑞的梦想包括每4个月的军政府季度例会成为通过电子联系的会议，所以没有必要来首都里必都三军总司令部。光纤电缆将会阻止任何信息被截获。

Than Shwe’s Electronic Dream

By MIN LWIN Friday, May 28, 2010

Burma's military junta has expanded its Fiber Optic Cable (FOC) project to its Eastern Regional Command, bringing to a total four military regional command centers whose electronic systems are linked to Naypyidaw via the country's most modern network.

The FOCs have been laid in Pekon, Aung Pan and Kalaw townships in eastern Shan State, according to local people and military sources. The FOC cables—which are individually no wider than a strand of hair—transmit Internet, telephone and cable TV.

Local people in an area controlled by the ethnic cease-fire group, the Kayan New Land Party (KNLP), said that two- and six-feet deep trenches were dug to hold the FOC pipelines that were installed in late April. The cables connect the Burmese army's Eastern Regional Command, based in the Shan State capital of Taunggyi, to its Triangle Regional Command center, based in Kengtung.

Since 2000, the Burmese junta has implemented an FOC project in its Western Regional Military Command center in Arakan State; in Northern Regional Command in Myitkyina, the capital of Kachin State; and in its Northeastern Regional Command center in Lashio in northern Shan State.

The FOC program is conducted by the Directorate of Signals and overseen by the Ministry of Defense. According to military sources, a map of the cables' transmission routes has been kept so secret that even staff officers at the Directorate of Signals do not know the details.

Sources have speculated that junta chief Snr-Gen Than Shwe is personally involved in the project and is insistent that the military maintains an independent electronics network from the rest of the country. He is reputedly concerned that military communications are intercepted by hostile agencies, ethnic insurgents, cease-fire groups or foreign intelligence agencies.

“Tet Chauk [Military Chief Than Shwe] has a dream about military communications,” said a military source in Rangoon. “He is suspicious of wireless communication, because he thinks it will be intercepted by hostile organizations. That's why he wants all his military bases to be linked by FOCs.”

“Than Shwe’s dream is to hold his four-monthly meetings via electronic links, so no regional commander need come to military headquarters,” said a retired commander who spoke to The Irrawaddy. “At the same time, he believes the FOCs will prevent any information being intercepted.”
