Indonesia's XL Axiata has passed the Operational Feasibility Test (ULO) by the Ministry of Communications and Informatics to deploy 5G networks in Indonesia. 

Through the issuance of the 5G Service SKLO, network services, as well as all 5G facilities and infrastructure that have been completed by XL Axiata, are technically declared ready to operate. This 5G network service will be carried out on a frequency band of 1800 MHz or 1.8 GHz, with a bandwidth of 20 MHz in the range of 1807.5 MHz to 1827.5 MHz.

 

In the 5G ULO process, the test scenarios carried out include device verification, basic telephony (call/sms) and internet access, bandwidth and load tests, network monitoring, and the availability of information center. The test parameters used during 5G ULO include the availability of information center, 5G network quality, percentage of drop calls/blocked calls, CSSR (Call Setup Success Rate) percentage, and DL (Downlink) and UL (Uplink) throughput.

With the issuance of the SKLO, technically all the infrastructure that XL Axiata has built to deploy the 5G network is ready to operate. In order to deploy this 5G service, XL Axiata applies Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) technology on the 1,800 MHz and 2,100 MHz spectrum. This technology allows the use of the same spectrum for 4G and 5G services, and in its application XL Axiata will ensure the convenience of 4G and 5G users. DSS implementation is an alternative choice considering the limited frequency that XL Axiata has to deploy 5G.

The 5G ULO process has been running according to our planned schedule, for three days, 3 – 5 August 2021 and is located in Depok City, to be precise in some areas of Jalan Margonda Raya.
