MIC-1

The MIC-1 (Moratelindo International Cable - One) is a new undersea optical cable owned by the youngest national backbone operator Moratelindo (Moratel). It links Batam to Changi (Singapore) and was scheduled to start the service by Q1/2008. Moratel's partner at SG side is ViewQuest (does anybody know about this company?). An SG-partner other than SingTel is rare :-) ! Moratel is a quite progressive backbone operator. Its market share of revenue would possibly be larger than ICON+ for this year.

Some facts and details about MIC-1:
  • Length : 70 km (wet segment should be less than 50 km ?!)
  • CAPEX : USD 12 mn
  • Capacity : initially 10 Gbps (STM-64), DWDM ugradeable
  • Contractor / Supplier : GMSL, Nexan
  • Date of Service : Q1/2008

Viewqwest Pte Ltd memiliki FBO license, sehingga Moratel menggandengnya sbg partner di Singapore agar bisa membangun cable station serta menarik submarine cable di Singapore. Dan kalo tidak salah, dahulu Viewqwest adalah partnernya XL sebelum di beli oleh TM.
