PT Mora Telematics Indonesia Tbk (Moratelindo) again held a launch event for their newest service entitled “Soft Launching MoNICA North Sumatra”. MoNICA (Moratelindo Network Interconnect and Content Autonomous) is a world-class initiative in the form of a Neutral Internet Exchange which aims to provide high-quality networks and diverse content to internet users in Indonesia.
This launch event was held at The View Music Lounge and Bar, Cambridge Hotel, Medan and was attended by representatives of local ISP companies from Medan and Aceh. The choice of Medan as the host for the launch of the second MoNICA was due to several factors including; (1) because the growth and demand for content needs in Medan is very high; (2) Medan is also the location of Moratelindo's data center; and (3) Medan has adequate infrastructure, providing significant cost efficiency to support the development of local ISPs.
MoNICA is expected to have a positive impact on the Indonesian telecommunications industry by offering an efficient central point for internet traffic exchange involving domestic and international telecommunications operators, Internet service providers (ISP), as well as content and games providers. More efficient traffic exchange is expected to drive the growth of the telecommunications industry.
GM Wholesales Commercial PT Mora Telematics Indonesia, Tbk, Erry Rachmat Waluya, stated, "With the launch of MoNICA, Moratelindo proves its commitment to advancing Indonesia's digital world, forming a solid foundation for a new era of better and more inclusive internet experiences for all.

With MoNICA, users in Indonesia are promised faster connections to Remote IXPs and Easy Peering (Public or Private Peering), more cost effective, lower latency, access to more diverse content, as well as a guaranteed SLA of 99.5% . MoNICA's robust infrastructure includes presence in various data centers and key points of presence in Indonesia, ready to provide a superior internet experience for users throughout Indonesia.
According to Mauldi Wirastomo Soemarto, GM of Product Solution PT Mora Telematics Indonesia Tbk., "MoNICA is an interconnection service from Moratelindo which provides direct access between internet telecommunications providers, both fellow members of MoNICA and International Exchanges such as Equinix Internet Exchange and SGIX in Singapore, JPIX in Japan , HKIX in Hong Kong, Any2 in America and AMSIX in Europe. MoNICA is also integrated with Global Cache Content (CDN)."
MoNICA's advantage lies in its strong, open and neutral peering platform, creating a collaborative ecosystem that supports the growth of the telecommunications industry.
