PT Solusi Sinergi Digital Tbk (SURGE), listed under the code WIFI, signed an addendum to its cooperation agreement with PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) on December 3, 2025 (03/12).

The agreement strengthens the ongoing partnership that began in 2019 through SURGE’s subsidiary, PT Integrasi Jaringan Ekosistem (Weave).

Under the original deal, SURGE received a long-term contract to build, install, operate, and manage a fiber-optic network along railway tracks across Java.

This initiative created a digital infrastructure backbone that uses railway corridors to support the development and distribution of high-speed internet on the island.

Expansion Brings Fiber-Optic Development to Sumatra

Through the new addendum, SURGE is officially expanding the project to Sumatra.

The company states that this expansion opens wider opportunities for digital equalization across the region and supports the availability of affordable internet broadband beyond Java.

The development is expected to run effectively and safely while providing benefits to local communities.

The initiative also aligns with national efforts to strengthen public services, education, logistics performance, and the digital economy.

SURGE Highlights Its Key Role in National Digital Infrastructure

SURGE noted that the expanded collaboration reinforces its role in building Indonesia’s digital infrastructure.

The company states that it continues to create added value for communities, businesses, and the broader economy.

Yune Marketatmo, President Director of SURGE, said, “The expansion of our fiber-optic network to Sumatra marks a strategic milestone for SURGE in strengthening Indonesia’s national connectivity. After witnessing the proven success of utilizing railway corridors for fiber-optic deployment in Java, we are confident that applying the same model in Sumatra will deliver significant benefits. Through our continued collaboration with KAI, we remain committed to providing fast, reliable, and affordable connectivity for communities across the region.”

Infrastructure Supports Rising Demand for Connectivity

The addendum expands SURGE’s fiber-optic development scope from Java to Sumatra.

This step underscores the company’s commitment to meeting growing demand for equal digital access through affordable broadband.

SURGE stated that the expanding network will continue supporting the increasing needs driven by the growth of the national digital ecosystem, developments in education, improvements in public services, and the acceleration of the digital economy.

The infrastructure functions as an important asset enabling various digital services, telecommunications ecosystems, and internet access for communities and MSMEs.
