Mitratel prepares for 5G
Dayamitra Telekomunikasi (Mitratel) has stepped up a move to connect its portfolio of towers using optical fibre, acquiring more than 6,000km of cable assets from two local companies.
Mitratel signed purchase agreements with Sumber Cemerlang Kencana Permai and Trans Indonesia Superkoridor for fibre assets connecting 2,436 towers across 86 cities.
Theodorus Ardi Hartoko, Mitratel president director, said that the acquisition is designed to support the move to 5G services, which he expects to pick up in the next few years.
Mitratel is one of the largest tower companies in Southeast Asia with 35,051 towers and 50,390 tenants at end-September 2022.
