Tri set a conservative target regarding fiberisation. Deputy Director of PT Hutchison 3 Indonesia Danny Buldansyah said that the company had fiberised 10% of its network.
Fiberization is only carried out in a number of areas with heavy data traffic such as Jakarta.
At a number of other points, said Danny, the company still relies on microwaves (microwaves).
"Fiberization depends on our BTS Hub. Our first biggest hub in Jakarta, there are also many in Central Java, "Danny told Bisnis.com some time ago.
Danny said that for 2020, the company plans to increase fiber to 15% of the network length.
The company is waiting for cheap optical fiber rental rates to conduct fiberisisia.
In addition, Tri prefers to rent from telecommunications network operators rather than building their own fiber optic infrastructure.
The reason, the price of optical fiber rental every year is getting lower.
"If renting is long-term 5-10 years, we believe the rental price falls every year. So why are we renting for the next 10 years at a high price? " said Danny.
As for liberalization with readiness in welcoming 5G, Danny said that the company will only start promoting liberalisation after there is certainty about 5G in terms of the spectrum to legality.
Head of the Electrical Engineering Study Program in Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) Ian Yosef M. Edward said that the large number of players in the operation of optical fiber networks has made the prices given to operators even cheaper.
He gave an example of single-mode and multimode technology for optical fiber. In technology, single-mode is better than multimode.
However, due to the high demand and the large number of operators selling the product, the price offered by single mode optical fiber technology is cheaper compared to multimode.
Ian said that with more sophisticated technology, the price of single mode is more expensive, but this is indisputable.
"Because what is used today is mostly single mode, the price offered is cheaper," Ian said.
