Yogyakarta, 27 June 2022. PT XL Axiata Tbk (XL Axiata) continues to maintain the quality of telecommunication and data networks along the Yogyakarta - Solo Electric Rail Train (KRL) line. This needs to be done because the enthusiasm of the community has increased since the mode of transportation connecting the two cities began to operate. For the Yogyakarta-Solo KRL's passengers to receive quick internet service and clear communication, more than 220 4G Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) are now supporting the network's quality throughout the line.
XL Axiata's Central Region Group Head, Bambang Parikesit, said "The Yogyakarta agglomeration region to Solo Raya is generally XL Axiata's key concern given the significant traffic growth. Data traffic along the train line connecting the two popular cities has increased by 78% since the Yogyakarta - Solo KRL began running early last year. The mobility of the community in this area has indeed increased with the existence of KRL services. This is because the new mode of transportation comes with a more frequent and faster departure schedule so that it becomes the mainstay of the surrounding community to support their productive activities, as well as being an efficient alternative for tourists who want to visit both cities easily and quickly.”
Bambang claims that the Yogyakarta-Solo KRL line has access to the XL Axiata fast internet network, with 11 stations serving KRL passengers and located in Yogyakarta City, Sleman Regency, Surakarta City, Sukoharjo Regency, and Klaten Regency. Various efforts are continuously made to maintain service quality, for example network expansion, capacity upgrade, throughput increase, and latency improvement.
Network quality improvement is also conducted through fiberization to all BTS, including those that support KRL lines. Fiberization aims to increase the capacity of the 4G network so that the quality of data services is maximized, fast, and stable.
Now, the network quality is definitely good if we take the KRL or any train on the Yogyakarta - Solo line. It will be easy and stable to access the internet. Even before there was KRL, this route has become a priority for XL Axiata, considering that this is a very busy route. The Yogyakarta - Solo line, whether rail or road, is a very busy, even operating around-the-clock. Where community mobility is high, XL Axiata's concern is to provide a qualified network," said Bambang.
Support tourism
The increase in 4G networks will go as long as there are needs for quality data services that increase in Yogyakarta – Solo agglomeration area. Data traffic has surged in this region by 120% on average over the last two years, with Solo Raya experiencing the greatest growth. For this reason, 4G capacity upgrades will be carried out by concentrating on densely populated areas.
Over the past two years, the corporation has also expanded its services to more than 260 BTS. These BTS are all distributed out over 89 subdistricts in Solo Raya, 7 subdistricts in Yogyakarta City, and 15 subdistricts in Sleman Regency. It will be extended by XL Axiata to all villages and subdistricts. In addition, improvements in network quality are also continuously carried out for areas that were previously served and experienced an increase in internet traffic.
The Yogyakarta - Solo Raya agglomeration area is known as an area based on tourism, economy, and sports. In addition from being located along the KRL line, XL Axiata also ensures that the quality of internet services available in several tourist destinations in this area such as Malioboro, Prambanan Temple, Breksi Cliff, Surakarta Kasunanan Palace, Mangkunegaran Temple, to Kampung Batik Laweyan are maintained.
