JAKARTA – The 2022 MotoGP Pre-season event at the Mandalika Circuit, West Nusa Tenggara, demands perfect information and digital technology. In order to meet this need, Telkomsel's cellular operator guarantees that the cellular network at the event will run smoothly without interruption.

"Telkomsel as part of the TelkomGroup supports digitization in one of the Super Priority Tourism Destinations that has been set by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf) RI, namely the Mandalika area. Especially ahead of the international racing sport event, MotoGP 2022," said Telkomsel Network Director, Nugroho , in a press statement, Saturday, February 12.

Telkomsel personnel some time ago came directly to Mandalika to ensure 4G/LTE connectivity and other services run smoothly during the Mandalika 2022 MotoGP Pre-season, which took place 11-13 February.

The cellular operator has optimized the capacity and quality of 4G/LTE and 5G broadband networks for exhibition purposes.

They even added 68 4G/LTE BTS towers, to complement the existing 382 towers to serve consumers in Mandalika. Network optimization carried out in the form of capacity addition and quality strengthening in all 4G/LTE BTS.

Telkomsel predicts that there will be a surge in broadband traffic ahead of the 2022 MotoGP on March 18, namely at the Mandalika International Street Circuit, lodging locations, culinary tours, tourist attractions, medical centers and transportation points such as airports and ports.

This cellular operator also added six compact mobile BTS units to strengthen the broadband network in the Mandalika Circuit area.

They also opened the Telkomsel 5G Experience Center exhibition in the Mandalika Circuit area, including exhibiting the use of 5G for tourism, automotive industry operations, racing gaming with virtual reality devices, virtual training and collaboration in the automotive industry and the use of drones.

In fact, Indonesia has adopted a limited 5G network in several locations since the middle of last year, for example at several points in Jakarta. Telkomsel is the first cellular operator to roll out a commercial 5G network in Indonesia.
