Jakarta –
After going through a long journey, finally the Indonesian people can enjoy the 5G network on 27 May 2021. This 5G network service was launched by Telkomsel after being declared to have passed the Operational Eligibility Test (ULO) at the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo).
With the receipt of a Certificate of Operation Eligibility (ULO), then the Telkomsel officially became the first cellular operator to roll out 5G services in Indonesia. Being the successor to 4G, the 5G cellular network is here to bring a series of advantages over the previous generation. Anything?
20x Faster than 4G
It is not without reason that 5G networks are called super fast networks. This is because 5G speed is one of the anticipated elements of its predecessor, namely 4G. At the start of the launch, the 4G network had LTE speeds of up to 100 Mbps. Then evolved into LTE-Advanced which can reach speeds of 1 Gbps.
This amount is certainly much different from the 5G network speed which can generally reach 20 Gbps. Or 20 times as much. With this speed, you can surf and watch streaming videos without interruption and download large movies faster.
Super Low Latency
You could say 5G networks have super low latency or data service access time, which is 1ms. This figure is about 10 times lower than the latency provided by the previous cellular network, 4G, so that all actions can be carried out in real time. With these advantages, it is guaranteed to improve the experience of playing mobile games.
Wider Connectivity
Have you ever had trouble connecting to a 4G internet network even though the signal bar was full. This could be because the bandwidth supported by 4G services has exceeded the maximum load limit.
However, unlike 4G, 5G networks are said to have greater bandwidth. This service is capable of connecting more devices at once. Even at a scale of up to 1 million devices/km2. That way all smart devices will have access to an uninterrupted internet connection.
It is known that 5G network services will soon be present in Indonesia in the next few years gradually. The first locations that will receive Telkomsel’s 5G service are 6 residential locations in the Greater Jakarta area, as well as other cities such as Solo, Medan, Balikpapan, Denpasar, Batam, Surabaya, Makassar, and Bandung.
Meanwhile, in other areas, 5G internet can be tested through hotspots at Grapari outlets Telkomsel, of which:
- Surabaya Youth GraPARI
- GraPARI Pettarani Makassar
- GraPARI Renon Bali
- GraPARI Batam Center
- GraPARI Telkom Group Medan
- GraPARI Solo and Solo City Hall Office
- GraPARI Balikpapan
- Telkom University and Bandung Institute of Technology
