PT Telkom Infrastruktur Indonesia (InfraNexia), an operating company of PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (Telkom), and PT Aplikanusa Lintasarta (Lintasarta) are strengthening high-capacity digital connectivity through the use of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) services on the Medan–Batam and Padang–Batam routes.

The collaboration was marked by the signing of a Berita Acara Kesepakatan (BAK) on the sidelines of the Bali Annual Telkom International Conference (BATIC) 2026 in Nusa Dua, Bali (26/8).

The cooperation covers two interprovincial routes and is aimed at strengthening network capacity to support growing data traffic and digital services. The two companies are optimizing DWDM services on the Medan–Batam and Padang–Batam routes as part of their efforts to strengthen high-capacity connectivity between Sumatra and Batam.

InfraNexia and Lintasarta Strengthen High-Capacity DWDM Connectivity

DWDM technology enables several high-speed data channels to be transmitted simultaneously through a single optical fiber. The technology is therefore an important part of connectivity infrastructure for services that require high capacity.

The need for this capability is increasing among corporate customers, cloud services, data centers, and other digital services that require large capacity, reliable latency, and network scalability.

InfraNexia President Director Lukman Hakim Abd. Rauf said the collaboration with Lintasarta is part of InfraNexia’s strategy to expand infrastructure utilization through an open and collaborative approach.

“Digital economic growth requires networks that are not only capable of providing large capacity, but can also develop according to customer needs. Through collaboration with Lintasarta, we are strengthening the Medan–Batam and Padang–Batam corridors as part of a connectivity foundation that can support service expansion, data traffic growth, and new digital needs in the future,” Lukman said.

Open Access Approach Supports Infrastructure Utilization

Lukman said the cooperation also reflects InfraNexia’s role as a telecommunications infrastructure provider based on open access and neutral infrastructure principles.

With a nationwide network, InfraNexia provides opportunities for various industry players to use infrastructure more efficiently according to their capacity needs and respective service models.

Meanwhile, Lintasarta President Director Armand Hermawan said high-capacity connectivity is one of the main foundations for supporting the continued development of digital transformation.

“The demand for digital services, cloud, data centers, and various technology-based workloads continues to increase. Our collaboration with InfraNexia through the utilization of DWDM services is part of our efforts to strengthen network capabilities so that we can continue to optimally support our customers’ digital transformation needs,” Armand said.

Armand added that collaboration with ecosystem partners is an important part of strengthening a sovereign digital infrastructure foundation that is also adaptive to industry developments.

“For Lintasarta, strengthening connectivity is part of Lintasarta Intelligent Core, the foundation of integrated digital services that we are developing to provide reliable connectivity while addressing the continuously evolving needs of customers,” Armand said.

Medan–Batam and Padang–Batam Routes Support Digital Connectivity

The Medan–Batam and Padang–Batam routes have strategic value in supporting digital connectivity from Sumatra to Batam.

Strengthening connectivity across the two corridors is expected to accommodate growing data traffic while providing greater network flexibility to support the development of various digital services in the future.

The cooperation between InfraNexia and Lintasarta also highlights the importance of cooperation among industry players in building an increasingly efficient and sustainable telecommunications ecosystem.

By optimizing the capabilities and infrastructure of each company, the collaboration is expected to strengthen connectivity, support service development, and create added value for the growth of Indonesia’s digital ecosystem.

InfraNexia, as the main pillar of TelkomGroup’s wholesale fiber connectivity business, will continue to expand collaboration with telecommunications operators, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Network Access Providers (NAPs), data centers, hyperscalers, and other industry players.

Through cross-industry cooperation, InfraNexia is committed to strengthening the national connectivity ecosystem and providing infrastructure that is increasingly scalable, reliable, and ready to support the growing digital needs of the public.
