VIVA – Telecom operator PT Smartfren Telecom Tbk said it was not bothered by the joyous element of 5G technology. In fact, they remain focused on network development.
"We are not bothered, we want it or not, we always focus on improving the quality of service and network development," he said. Brand Manager Smartfren, Roberto Saputra, Jakarta, Thursday, November 29, 2018.
He claimed to be very aggressive in achieving the desire to develop networks. That's why they dare to issue unlimited packages this year.
In addition, they are also looking to add existing customers to Smartfren, where Smartfren's customers reached 13.5 million this year.
Roberto pointed out that the 5G network was still a bit old in Indonesia. "In about 2-3 years, there will be a more serious discussion about this network," he said.
One of the factors to consider for the implementation time of 5G in Indonesia is that the penetration of the use of 4G technology has still not reached 90%.
"Because of this, we need a handset for the new 5G network.Well, the handset does not exist yet.Now, as a supplier, we can not create a network if the combined does not exist, "Roberto said.
In addition, he said, when the 5G handset already exists, the next question is whether people want to pay more? Because, the device will still be expensive when the 5G handset will be available.
Roberto admitted that Smartfren had entered the 4G + technology era. However, he added, the commercialization of 5G is still taking time.
The network that is used today to meet one to one the requirements of 5G. Then the most important thing, said Roberto, is whether people really need what is not 5G yet?
"I can only badure myself, on the side of the technological roadmap, that we are ready in this direction," he said.
