Indonesian mobile operator Indosat Ooredoo plans to expand its 4G LTE coverage to a further 645 remote villages across the archipelago by next year, the firm’s director and chief strategy and innovation officer Arief Musta’in has said.
In marking the recent rollout of 4G services to 124 remote villages, the official said that the longer term target is designed to support the government’s programme to provide digital inclusion for all Indonesians. In total, some 3,435 far-flung locations are currently unserved by any operator. Indosat Ooredoo has pledged to address that in 645 areas by 2022.
