- Telkomsel upgrades existing GSM and WCDMA/HSPA mobile network to improve subscriber experience and prepare for 4G/LTE in Kalimantan, Indonesia
- Ericsson`s multi-standard RBS 6000 platform selected for radio network transformation to meet rapidly increasing data demands
- Ericsson to upgrade and optimize networks in the fast growing area of Kalimantan
Ericsson (ERIC) has been selected by Telkomsel, Indonesia`s largest mobile operator, for a full radio transformation in Indonesia`s Kalimantan region.
The upgrade will ensure that Telkomsel`s network is equipped with multi-standard radio base stations for GSM and WCDMA/HSPA(3G) that can meet the rapidly increasing data demands and boost mobile broadband network performance, while making it ready for 4G/LTE.
The transformation project includes the introduction of Ericsson`s RBS 6320, a low-cost, main remote enclosure product, developed for tropical climates.
Thomas Jul, Head of Ericsson Indonesia and Timor-Leste, says: “The transformation of Telkomsel`s network will ensure its mobile data subscribers, especially those living in dense areas, will benefit from faster speeds and better network performance. This contract makes us a key partner for Telkomsel through this transformation and further strengthens our longstanding relationship.”
