Timor Leste’s Telkomcel has launched 4G services using equipment from technology partner Ericsson.
Telkomcel has deployed Ericsson’s virtual EPC and LTE RAN Ericsson Radio System software to allow it to provide LTE services to its customer base.
Ericsson also provided a hyperscale data center system for the deployment to deliver a network capable of supporting high-capacity environments and solutions.
Telkomcel was established in 2012 by parent company Telin from neighboring Indonesia, and now has around 450,000 mobile customers from a total population of 1.2 million. The operator has been a longstanding Ericsson customer.
“This cooperation represents a significant milestone as it further strengthens our partnership with Telkomcel and is another testament of our commitment to our customer’s success,” Ericsson president for Indonesia and Timor Leste Jerry Soper said.
“With the availability of 4G subscriber services, the people of East Timor will be able to enjoy even more of the features of smartphones that have significantly influenced the way people live and do business.”
