Indosat Ooredoo, Indonesia’s leading digital telecommunications company, continues its network coverage expansion by adding 4G/LTE service in 124 remote villages. 

The network deployment is part of the company’s commitment to supporting the Government’s program to fulfill 4G coverage throughout Indonesia and deploying 4G/LTE service across 645 remote villages by 2022.

Commemorating the 76th Postal and Telecommunications Day, Indosat Ooredoo launched one of its new 4G/LTE sites at Ondo-Ondolu Village in Batui District, Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi. The Banggai Regency has been well-known for its marine tourism sector and one of the hidden gems of tourism in Eastern Indonesia with its many breathtaking beaches and exotic islands.

 

Indosat Ooredoo has added 4G/LTE service in 124 remote villages, with Mamuju and Banggai Regencies in Sulawesi are getting more additional sites to support the needs of villagers who increasingly demand video-grade internet connection. 

The Indonesian Government has intensified the fulfillment of 4G coverage throughout the country by coordinating with cellular operators, including Indosat Ooredoo. A total of 3,435 remote villages are still in the 4G network blank spot category, of which Indosat Ooredoo will take part in deploying 4G/LTE service across 645 remote villages to be completed by 2022.

Arief Musta’in, Director & Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer of Indosat Ooredoo
The addition of 4G/LTE new sites has been carried out since last August and will continue to reach 645 remote villages by the end of 2022. Through the video-grade network expansion, strengthened by various products and services that are simple, transparent, relevant, and worry-free, we hope to provide optimal benefits to rural communities in a sustainable manner.
