Hi-Speed internet available in 35 cities, bringing access for 40 million Indonesians at no additional cost on its data strong network
Indosat Ooredoo today launched its hi-speed 4G-LTE service, 4Gplus, nation-wide. Taking another step in its journey to build Indonesia’s leading digital telco, the company announced that the faster connectivity and clearer voice quality its data strong network provides is now available at the same price as existing 3G services.
Over the past two years Indosat Ooredoo has successfully invested in modernizing its network. This network overhaul enabled Indosat Ooredoo to double existing network speeds and offer the fastest 3G internet speeds available. Today Indosat Ooredoo is bringing its data strong network to the next level by activating 4Gplus, enabling people and businesses alike to enjoy an even faster and better data experience and offering download speeds independently tested to reach up to 185Mbps.
Currently Indosat Ooredoo’s 4Gplus service is available in 21 cities throughout Indonesia, with another 14 to be added by the end of 2015. At launch the hi-speed service will be available to already 40 million Indonesians with Indosat Ooredoo committing to add another 5 million Indonesians each month in 2016.
Alexander Rusli, President Director and CEO commented: “The plus in Indosat Ooredoo’s 4Gplus service is more than raw data high-speed and bandwidth. As we introduce more people to digital society, we want our service be more accessible for Indonesian people. We want to remove the pain-points and worries that we know customers experience and help them to enjoy and get the most out of the service available to them.
He added, “We want to go the extra mile for our customers and make our service affordable, accessible and easy for people to understand how it can improve their everyday lives. We want our customers to be able to stream a football match live without buffering, to make video calls via Skype without interruptions, to be able to work confidently on-the-go and to browse, chat and upload a selfie without delays. This is what we mean when we say the best digital experience possible.”
The launch of 4Gplus complements the recent expansion of the company’s store footprint, making it easier for customers to interact with Indosat Ooredoo in person, no matter where they are. With double the number of retail shops across the country Indosat Ooredoo recently has signed an agreement with EraJaya to further expand this to 350 outlets in the coming years.
Alexander Rusli added: “As we build the leading digital telco we want to create a totally new digital experience where the customer has access to the widest range of smartphones, the most transparent and attractive data plans, digital apps and content for trials, all coupled with the most personal service. ”
With Indosat Ooredoo’s 4Gplus customers will receive a free data quota of up to 10GB, to be used on the 4G network. In addition to this customers can access various rich digital content packages such as blockbuster movies, live video streaming and data storage. Indosat Ooredoo customers will enjoy 10,000 minutes of voice calls to a loved one on a Indosat Ooredoo number free of charge with top up from only Rp. 10,000,-onwards.
