Indonesian mobile network operator (MNO) XL Axiata has reported that, as part of its ongoing network upgrade works, its 4G LTE signal now extends to 70% of the city of Sukabumi and its environs, in West Java.
In response to a surge in demand for data, the MNO has added 109 new 4G BTS since mid-2020 to boost the total on air in the city to 1,150 – comprising 52 sub-districts, 38 sub-urban areas and 326 villages – and serving more than 400,000 subscribers. Further, XL Axiata Region Group Head Sofia Purbayanti noted that the company is accelerating the rollout of fibre-optic cable networks to support its 4G BTS with ultra-fast backhaul while continuing to deploy new BTS in remote areas of Sukabumi.
