Sukabumi, 12 July 2021, Traffic for data service users of PT XL Axiata Tbk (XL Axiata) continues to increase in various regions, including in the City and Regency of Sukabumi. In the region, in the last two years there has been an increase in data traffic by up to 88%. In order to maintain excellent data network quality and at the same time serve market demand from new areas, XL Axiata continues to develop networks, including to rural areas that were previously unreachable.

Region Group Head of XL Axiata Jabodetabek, Rd. Sofia Purbayanti said, “We have been continuously monitoring areas that have experienced a significant increase in data traffic, one of which is Sukabumi. The increase in traffic that occurred was driven by the increasing convenience of subscribers on XL Axiata network and products, as well as the continued increase in subscribers. We even detect requests from new areas. For this reason, we continue to build this data network both to improve service quality in areas that continue to experience an increase in traffic, as well as to new areas that have great potential.”

According to Sofia, currently XL Axiata network in Sukabumi has reached up to 70% of the Sukabumi area with a 4G network, consisting of 52 districts, 38 urban villages, and 326 villages. In the past year, XL Axiata has added around 109 4G BTS. A total of more than 1,150 BTS are now spread, serving more than 400 thousand subscribers.

For Sukabumi Regency, there are more than 900 BTS, of which more than 630 BTS are 3G/4G BTS, the number increased by 33% compared to last year.

In addition to focusing on building 4G networks, XL Axiata also strengthens data services by expanding the construction of fiber optic cable networks that extend to BTS in remote areas of Sukabumi. XL Axiata hopes that by connecting each BTS with fiber optic cable, it can further improve the quality of the network and of course will automatically provide more convenience to subscribers.
