First commercial 5G service in Indonesia
Tue, 1 June 2021
State-owned telecommunication operator Telkomsel launched on May 28 the first commercial 5G service in Indonesia, thereby testing the market for such a premium data service.
Telkomsel president director Setyanto Hantoro said that, in the initial stage, 5G services would be made available in residential areas of Jakarta and South Tangerang given potentially high consumer demand for data services in those areas.
The 5G service would be available in Alam Sutera and Bumi Serpong Damai (BSD) in South Tangerang; Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) and Kelapa Gading in North Jakarta; as well as Pondok Indah and Kawasan Widya Chandra in South Jakarta, all of which are high-end residential areas.
