The inauguration of BTS 4G will be held simultaneously throughout Indonesia, marked by long-distance video relationships at various points with Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

Furthermore, Budi said that the construction of 4G BTS is a real step for Kominfo to accelerate digital transformation in Indonesia, as well as to realize equal distribution of connectivity, especially in disadvantaged, frontier, outermost (3T) areas.
