Entrusted to Run National Strategic Project
Established in 2000, MORA started its business as a provider of internet and telephone card services. Seven years later, Moratelindo transformed into a telecommunications infrastructure service provider company by building a cable network fiber optic along 7.5 km on Java island.
The excellent performance led MORA to develop to the global level. In 2008 the Entity established a subsidiary company in Singapore and built the Moratelindo International Cable-System One (MIC-1) submarine cable connecting Jakarta and Singapore. In 2009, the Company developed an international network by building a submarine fiber optic cable network Batam-Dumai-Malaka (BDM).
In 2010, the Government of Singapore granted a Facilities-Based Operations (FBO) license as a gateway for international leased line services. In the same year, Moratelindo strengthened its network by building the Sumatra Backbone, namely the construction of a backbone network for both Submarine Cable and Inland Cable that traverses the island of Sumatra.
The Government of Indonesia entrusts the Company to support the development of national local infrastructure by providing telecommunications business permits and licenses such as Fixed Closed Network (JARTUP), Network Access Point (NAP), Internet Service Provider (ISP), and Local Fixed Network (JARTAPLOK). Further, the Company is also trusted to build and operate a national data center, namely Nusantara Internet Exchange (NIX).
Moratelindo built 6 Nusantara Data Centers (NDC) in 2012 and developed an international network of submarine fiber optic cable connecting Jakarta-Bangka-Bintan-Batam-Singapura (B3JS) as the third project of submarine cable in international scope.
The Entity was appointed by the Government of Indonesia to run a national strategic project of prioritized infrastructure for the West Palapa Ring and East Palapa Ring Projects in 2016 as the winner of the tender. The latest, Moratelindo expand its service by developing Fiber To The Home (FTTH) in new cities such as Jambi, Bandung, and Semarang as well as developing Fiber To The X (FTTX) in Kupang and Labuan Bajo, both in East Nusa Tenggara in 2021.
