2G Network Will Die

According to data from the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kemkominfo) of the Republic of Indonesia, the number of 2G subscribers in Indonesia is still in the figure of 30 percent of the total customer operators until last year. Kemkominfo RI predicts that 2G customers will be exhausted in 2019. Related to the implementation of 5G within the next three years, 2G network in Indonesia will be eliminated.

Responding to that Vice President Technology and System of PT Telkomsel Indra Mardiatna said, concerning 2G subscribers in the homeland of Telkomsel still adjust the communication services in accordance with customer needs, either on 2G or broadband services.

"There is a shift in the use of the network from customers along with the development of technology," said Indra to Republika.co.id, some time ago.

Indra explained, the development of technology is indeed making Telkomsel customers begin to shift for broadband services. Thus, Telkomsel always provide facilities to change the pattern of customer use from basic service to data service. As of November 2017, Telkomsel has more than 190 million subscribers with 99.5 million percent of the total number of users of broadband services or data services.

Telkomsel as operator continues to develop the latest 5G technology in the telecommunication industry. "We continue to test the network and the ecosystem in accordance with the needs," said Indra. This is done to predict the needs of the 5G infrastructure in addition to network availability. Among other things, Telkomsel explores the availability of devices and applications required in network development.

The process of testing is done in line with the concept of DNA, ie devices, networks, and applications. 5G technology is an evolution or continuation of the previous generation. Related to the calculation of investment, Telkomsel has not been able to calculate the price so it can not be called expensive or not.
