PT XL Axiata Tbk (XL Axiata) ensures that the 4G network is in prime condition and ready to support the 2023 motocross world performance in two locations in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). Both locations are at the Samota Circuit, Sumbawa Regency, 23-25 June 2023, then continue to the Selaparang Circuit, Mataram City, 1-2 July 2023.
XL Axiata's support for this extreme motorcycle racing event also supports the government's hard efforts in building the tourism industry, especially in NTB.
Head Network Operations XL Axiata Region East, Mochamad Irwan Harahap, said XL Axiata's support for this world event is also in line with his efforts to strengthen infrastructure and services in NTB which is one of the winning areas, where the XL Axiata market share is the largest.
"We also continue to strengthen the quality of data networks in NTB, especially Lombok and Sumbawa, where currently the 4G XL Axiata network has reached 1130 villages/kelurahan in 114 sub-districts throughout NTB, with a total of more than 5,800 BTS, including more than 3,300 4G BTS," he said in a written statement, Thursday, June 22.
According to Irwan, the Samota and Selaparang areas, which are the locations for the motocross racing, have been covered by the 4G XL Axiata network. The potential for a spike in traffic in these two areas is very likely to occur when the Motocross world racing event takes place, considering that a spike in traffic occurred during the same event last year in Samota.
In the area around the Samota Circuit, at least 2 4G BTS have been prepared to reach most areas, including circuits and tourist areas around them. XL Axiata specifically also placed Mobile BTS not far from the Samota Circuit to anticipate a spike in traffic during the world racing event. Meanwhile at the Selaparang Circuit in the middle of Mataram City, there are about 12 4G BTS.
The improvement in the quality of the 4G network is not only limited to Samota and Selaparang. For the Sumbawa area, XL Axiata has also expanded its 4G network to all corners of Sumbawa. Currently, the 4G XL Axiata network has reached 532 villages/kelurahan in 61 sub-districts, and 5 districts/cities in Sumbawa.
In total there are more than 1,300 BTS throughout Sumbawa, with more than 800 of them 4G BTS. The number of 4G BTS will continue to increase considering that currently XL Axiata is also still expanding in all districts in Sumbawa.
In addition to expanding and adding BTS, XL Axiata also continues to increase the capacity of 4G networks both in terms of radio and transmission, as well as through fiberization. Now most BTS in Sumbawa have been fiberized and will continue to increase. Meanwhile, since early 2022 until now around 360 BTS have been increased in capacity. Over the past year, XL Axiata data traffic in Sumbawa has continued to increase by around 31 percent, with the highest traffic increase in Bima Regency.
As for areas in Lombok, the 4G XL Axiata network has been present to serve customers in 598 villages/kelurahan, 53 sub-districts, and 5 regencies/cities in Lombok. In total there are more than 4,000 BTS throughout Lombok, with around 2,300 of them BTS 4G.
The number of 4G BTS will continue to increase considering that currently XL Axiata is still expanding in all regencies in Lombok. Now most of the BTS in Lombok have been fiberated and will continue to increase.
Meanwhile, since the beginning of 2022 until now around 800 BTS has been increased in capacity. Over the past year, XL Axiata data traffic in Lombok has continued to increase by around 13 percent, with the highest increase in traffic in North Lombok Regency.
