We received very exciting news from our member, ice group, on their LTE450 development in Indonesia.

Net1 Indonesia (www.net1.co.id), a 4G LTE broadband data services brand from PT Sampoerna Telekomunikasi Indonesia (STI) partnered with ice group (previously known as AINMT International Holdings BV), is ready to support the government in accelerating the provision of internet connections in rural areas, especially in frontier, outermost and least (3T) developed regions of the country. Net1 Indonesia’s mission to spread the internet access in the rural area is in line with the government nine agenda priorities or often referred to Nawa Cita, which mentions developing Indonesia’s rural area within the framework of Republic of Indonesia.

Currently 73% of villages/sub-lower districts in Indonesia already have internet connection based on 3G technology. Meanwhile, the LTE 4G network only 55%. By 2019, the government is targeting to provide 3G-based internet for more than 83,000 villages. Another target for the upcoming year is covering total of 514 districts/cities by 4G LTE network. So far, only 64% of them have access to 4G LTE.
