Cisco Enables PT Telkom to Become a Wi-Fi Leader in Asia
December 06 2012 - 8:00PM
Marketwired
Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) is working closely with PT Telekomunikasi
Indonesia Tbk (PT Telkom), Indonesia's largest information and
communications provider, to enable the rapid deployment of 100,000
access points across Indonesia. This will be the largest deployment
of Wi-Fi access points by a single service provider in Asia.
According to IDC(i), as Indonesia transforms itself into an
economic leader, ICT will play a major role in boosting economic
growth as the ubiquitous use of smartphones and tablets results in
a high demand for mobile network access. Both licensed and
unlicensed (Wi-Fi) small cells are seen as key to managing this
rapidly increasing demand.
Over the last six months, PT Telkom has initiated the deployment
of thousands of Wi-Fi access points across Indonesia as it prepares
for mobile data traffic to double each year through at least 2016.
The Cisco Visual Networking Index also predicts that mobile data
traffic in Indonesia is expected to grow 32 times from 2011 to
2016, with an average per user consumption at 716 megabytes of
mobile data traffic per month in 2016, a staggering 2,387 per cent
increase from 30 megabytes per month in 2011.
Key Facts / Highlights
- As Indonesia's biggest telecommunication company, PT Telkom has
8.6 million fixed wire-line customers, 14.2 million fixed wireless
customers and 107 million cellular customers.

comprehensive service provider that supplies both fixed and mobile
broadband services across Indonesia.

Spokesperson Quotes
- Badriyanto, Executive General Manager of the
Wireless Broadband Division at PT Telkom "Our initial target
of deploying 100,000 Wi-Fi access points this year has been to
offload risk of overpopulated and congested 3G data traffic in
malls, airports, and other high-density areas. In addition, we are
also preparing to enhance our broadband service portfolio to offer
exciting new mobile broadband services which can only come from a
true carrier-grade Wi-Fi network, a network we expect to scale out
to 1 million Wi-Fi access points. PT Telkom is the first operator
to build such a large Wi-Fi network in Indonesia, and we are
confident that our collaboration with industry leaders like Cisco
will position PT Telkom as the global leader in mobile broadband
and Wi-Fi."
- Irving Tan, managing director for Cisco in
ASEAN "Indonesia is transforming the Asia region with its
plans to grow the economy to compete on a global scale. The rise in
mobility highlights the country's vision in using the network as a
platform for transformation as industries embrace the
next-generation small cell mobile Internet capabilities for
business benefits. Our collaboration with PT Telkom is the
foundation for getting Indonesia future-ready as we create an
intelligent, connected Indonesia."
