Makassar, Upeks.co.id — As an effort to strengthen the 5G ecosystem, Telkomsel continues to expand the range of Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) services in Indonesia. Now Telkomsel’s VoLTE services can be enjoyed in 219 districts/cities out of a total of 230 districts/cities in Indonesia targeted by the end of 2021. The expansion of Telkomsel’s VoLTE service coverage is also accompanied by the expansion of collaboration with smartphone device partners who have supported VoLTE technology.

Nugroho further added that the expansion of VoLTE network coverage by Telkomsel is part of the acceleration of switching 2G and 3G networks to 4G/LTE.
