MoNICA as Internet Exchange

To strengthen MORATELINDO status as a major info-communications hub in the Asia Pacific region, the MORATELINDO facilitated the incorporation of MoNICA, an industry-owned Internet Exchange provider with the objective of seeking both international and regional carriers to choose Indonesia as their Internet hub while at the same time, encouraging Internet content providers to host their Internet content in the country.

MoNICA operates a country-wide Internet peering network with peering points deployed in major data centres that enable seamless and efficient exchange of data traffic between all connected peers. They include service providers offering Telco services, IP transit, Content & Social Media, Video Streaming, Cloud services, Content Distribution Networks, Online Gaming, Educational Institutions, Research Organizations and many others. MoNICA has grown since incorporation and is currently one of the largest open and neutral Internet Exchanges in Indonesia.
