Manokwari, Indonesia

Manokwari, Indonesia is a submarine cable landing point in Indonesia (coordinates -0.8615°, 134.0620°). It serves 3 submarine cable systems, making it a multi-cable landing site in Indonesia's international connectivity infrastructure.

Manokwari is a coastal town and the capital of the Indonesian province of West Papua. It is one of only seven provincial capitals of Indonesia without a city status. It is also the administrative seat of Manokwari Regency. Under proposals under consideration by the Indonesian Parliament, it was planned to split Manokwari town off from the regency and turn it into a separate city; however this process has been suspended in the light of the Government moratorium since 2013 on the creation of new regencies and cities. The majority of Manokwari residents are Christians and the town is one of the seats of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Manokwari–Sorong. The town was formerly known by Europeans as Dory, Doréry or Dorey. Wikipedia
