In an effort to support the government in declaring telecommunications access throughout Indonesia, Telkomsel continues to build network infrastructure to remote areas, including in populated areas that have not yet gained access to telecommunications. This year Telkomsel plans to build 63 Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) in remote locations through the Red and White program.

The presence of 63 new base stations in these locations is expected to be able to serve the communication needs of approximately 120,000 people who previously had difficulties in accessing telecommunication services.
