IMT, Satelindo, Jasa Marga tie up

JAKARTA: Indonesia Media Technologies (IMT), a provider of
cellular telephones, in cooperation with state-owned toll road
operator Jasa Marga and cellular operator Satelit Palapa
Indonesia (Satelindo) are joining forces to disseminate toll road
information via short-messaging-services (SMS).

Previously, similar toll road information could be obtained by
typing a predetermined code and sending it via SMS to a specified
number. The requested information is provided after a short
interval via SMS.

Now, Satelindo users can simply access this information
directly through Satelindo's Menu Browser. The browser is already
part of pre-paid Mentari and Matrix Sim cards.

Coverage includes information on traffic congestion,
accidents, road conditions, and road work obstructions on the
Jagorawi, Tangerang, Cikampek, Cawang, Merak, and Pondok Pinang
toll roads. This new service is in addition to information
broadcast by Jasa Marga on a private radio station and by
conventional telephone.

IMT provides mobile services to Telkomsel, Satelindo,
Excelcomindo, and IM3. -- JP
