XL SATU Fiber is Now Available in 63 Cities and Introduces the Latest Fiber To The Room (FTTR) Technology

The adoption of FTTR technology is done to prevent speed degradation caused by WiFi networks that are less able to penetrate barriers, such as house walls and house partitions that adversely affect the customer experience. The use of FTTR optical fibre will ensure a smoother, faster and more stable internet experience evenly distributed throughout the house or building.

This is also in line with the growing demand for XL SATU fibre services which we predict will continue to increase in the coming years. We will continue to adopt the latest technology and expand the market, where we see the huge market potential in Indonesia. Our fibre network development will continue to expand to new areas."

Abhijit added that the adoption of FTTR technology is done to prevent speed degradation caused by Wi-Fi networks that are less able to penetrate barriers, such as walls, and home partitions that adversely affect the customer experience. The use of FTTR fibre optics will ensure a smoother, faster and more stable internet experience evenly distributed throughout the house or building.

This technology ensures stability and internet speed that is evenly distributed to all rooms in the house that cannot be reached by mesh Wi-Fi devices. FTTR devices are able to provide the best experience for its customers in enjoying online video streaming, online gaming, telecommuting services, and providing a consistent, stable and seamless smart home ecosystem experience.
"As a strategic partner of XL Axiata, Huawei is committed to supporting XL Axiata's digital transformation strategy by providing innovative cutting-edge technologies and bringing the best network experience to every XL customer. Huawei's innovative FTTR solutions, including FTTR for Home and FTTR for SMEs, provide network services with ultra-high bandwidth, ultra-low latency, seamless Wi-Fi roaming and intelligent standalone Wi-Fi and management for households and small and medium enterprises," said Wei Wei, Account Director for XL Axiata at Huawei.
