PT XLSMART Telecom Sejahtera Tbk (XLSMART), through its XL brand, has officially introduced XL Ultra 5G+, delivering full 5G coverage in Denpasar City and Badung Regency, Bali, along with 11 other cities and regencies across Indonesia (17/12).

The rollout takes place during the company’s post-merger network integration and consolidation process.

XLSMART Targets Faster and More Stable 5G Connectivity

The launch of XL Ultra 5G+ represents a strategic step to provide next-generation connectivity that is faster, more stable, and capable of supporting Indonesia’s current and future digital needs.

Compared with previous generations, XL’s 5G offers higher data speeds, larger network capacity, and lower latency.

David Arcelus Oses, Director & Chief Commercial Officer of XLSMART, said, “We are introducing XL Ultra 5G+ as a manifestation of XL's commitment to delivering greater convenience, comfort, and the best possible experience for communities in Bali and 11 other cities and regencies across Indonesia. Our 5G development focuses not solely on speed, but also on quality, stability, and overall network preparedness. Through a blanket coverage approach, we aim to ensure customers enjoy a consistent and reliable 5G experience across every corner of the island. Going forward, XL will continue to expand its 5G network and services to more cities and regions across the nation, making this cutting-edge technology more accessible to a broader segment of the population.”

Blanket Coverage Supported by 3,400 5G BTS

This approach allows customers to enjoy continuous 5G connectivity both indoors and outdoors.

The coverage is supported by around 3,400 5G base transceiver stations across 13 cities and regencies.

More than 600 5G BTS are located in Denpasar City and Badung Regency, Bali.
