Indonesian telecommunications and network infrastructure provider Moratelindo has selected to work with interconnectivity provider Epsilon Telecommunications to connect customers to a global ecosystem of Internet Exchanges (IXs) via remote peering.
This partnership enables Moratelindo’s enterprise customers, carriers and service providers to extend their network reach and improve content and application performance in the US, Europe, Hong Kong, Japan and rest of the world, without the need for additional infrastructure investment and physical presence in-country.
Epsilon’s Remote Peering solution is available via Network as a Service (NaaS) platform Infiny, providing Moratelindo and its customers with on-demand access to internet exchange points such as Any2Exchange in the US, AMS-IX in Europe, HK-IX in Hong Kong and JP-IX in Japan.
Epsilon has established a 100G network-to-network interface (NNI) with Moratelindo, further enabling its customers to access a broader network via Epsilon’s backbone infrastructure. This also eliminates the need for costly international private leased circuit (IPLC) connections.
“The cloud market in Indonesia is booming, and remote peering is really changing the game for businesses looking to expand and improve the performance of their services across the globe,” Epsilon COO Warren Aw said.
“It has never been easier to offer services quickly in new markets with minimal upfront investments, and bring content closer to end users with reduced latency. It’s great to work with Moratelindo to make truly global connectivity a reality for more Indonesian businesses, and accelerate digital transformation across the region.”
The partnership is enhancing Moratelindo’s Network Interconnect and Content Autonomous (MoNICA) neutral Internet Exchange, which can now provide connectivity to a wider pool of international IXs for domestic and international telecommunications operators, Internet service providers, content and games providers.
Leveraging Epsilon’s Infiny platform, which offers access to 140+ on-ramp locations and 18+ IX partners, Moratelindo can seamlessly integrate additional IX partners into MoNICA via a single interconnection port. This enables customers to easily extend their reach into new markets and rapidly scale bandwidth according to demands.
“This partnership with Epsilon is helping to take our MoNICA IX to the next level and enhance the Indonesian telecommunications industry with efficient traffic exchange,” Moratelindo CTO Michael McPhail said.
“Establishing presence at multiple global IXs would have been a challenge for us due to the complexities of managing various IX memberships and onboarding, as well as legal matters, billing and more.
“Epsilon’s extensive industry experience proved invaluable, as they removed these challenges by enabling us to utilise their existing relationships and connections through a single port and contract. We’re driving the market forward and enabling Indonesia’s digital future, making it simple to interconnect globally and improve the performance of services for end users.”
