Jakarta (ANTARA) - Cellular operator Telkomsel, a subsidiary of state-run telecommunications company Telkom Group, is collaborating with a private company to test out 5G network utilization in Indonesia's maritime region to support national economic growth. "Telkomsel consistently continues to strengthen its main capability in providing the latest telecommunication network and service based on the development of the people's demand," Telkomsel's network director, Nugroho, said in a press statement issued on Tuesday. The 5G service test is being carried out in Gorontalo since the province, which has a coastline spanning 903.7 kilometers, is one of the regions in Indonesia with the largest maritime potential. The maritime sector is one of the sectors that Gorontalo is relying on to drive its economy, with the livelihoods of 19,013 fishermen in the area depending on sea resources, according to data recorded by the local Marine and Fishery Office in 2019.
