For your information, Telkomsel also believes that the presence of 5G services will increase the contribution of Indonesia’s digital economy. For example, in China itself the contribution of 5G to the digital economy reached 42 percent, this continues to increase along with the increase in the number of 5G subscribers.
“Telkomsel believes that 5G can be a driver of the digital economy or technology that can be enjoyed by the public,” he said.
Currently, Telkomsel’s 5G customers are around 4.7 million customers with 5G handset adoption reaching 12.8 million devices. Indra said that his party is targeting an increasing number of 5G customers, in line with the presence of a more massive 5G network in Indonesia.
Targeting 5G Cover All of Jakarta
In the future, apart from the areas above, Telkomsel is also targeting the 5G network to cover the entire area of Jakarta to Bekasi and Bogor.
Telkomsel’s 5G itself currently covers 56 cities, although in some cities 5G is only available in a few spots. This is also influenced by the penetration of 5G handsets.
“Currently Telkomsel has 1400 5G BTS throughout Indonesia. We hope that in the future 5G will also increase,” he said.
