JAKARTA - Telkomsel has launched the first implementation of the Huawei RuralCow solution on Legundi Island, Pesawaran Regency, South Lampung, to transform digital access on remote islands of Indonesia.

This breakthrough marks an important moment in rural connectivity, presenting an affordable and stable 4G/LTE broad band network for Indonesian remote islands.

The Huawei RuralCow solution is specifically designed for hard-to-reach areas, this solution is able to integrate fronthaul and radio units, thus eliminating the need for traditional backhaul, baseband units, and extensive power supply.

Its fast and low-cost application model makes it ideal for the Universal Service Obligation (USO) region, offering scalable blueprints for realizing digital inclusion across 17,000 islands in Indonesia.

With the operation of this new solution, residents of Legundi Island can access reliable 4G connectivity without requiring additional infrastructure or equipment.

"The application of RuralCow on Legundi Island shows how technology can create a real impact when designed for those who need it most," said Telkomsel's Vice President Technology Strategy and Product Development, Ronald Limoa.

With this solution, Ronald hopes to provide technology to have a social impact, democratizing digital access so that every Indonesian, especially those in remote areas, can move towards new opportunities in the fields of education, livelihoods, and public services.

As the leading digital telecommunications company in Indonesia, Telkomsel is always committed to improving customer experience and innovation in all regions, despite its geographical challenges.

Through strategic partnerships and technologies such as RuralCow from Huawei, Telkomsel ensures that the most remote archipelagic people can participate fully in the digital economy.
