XLSMART says 5G coverage reaches about 94% of Lombok
The operator now offers 5G in 80 Indonesian cities and regencies, compared with 70 in October 2026.
PT XLSMART Telecom Sejahtera Tbk says its expanded 5G network now covers about 94 per cent of Lombok in West Nusa Tenggara. The company outlined its network rollout at a media event on the island on 10 November 2026.
Across Indonesia, XLSMART said its 5G services now reach 80 cities and regencies, up from 70 in October 2026. It operates more than 265,000 base stations nationwide, including more than 15,000 equipped for 5G.
West Nusa Tenggara accounts for more than 7,300 of its base stations, with nearly 900 supporting 5G. On Lombok, the operator has more than 4,800 base stations, including nearly 900 for 5G.
Tony Hosurungun Sitanggang, XLSMART's SVP Network Operations, said 50 per cent of infrastructure construction was outside Java. He cited East Nusa Tenggara, West Nusa Tenggara, Lombok, Sumbawa and surrounding areas as locations included in that work.
Director & Chief People Officer Jeremiah Ratadhi said XLSMART would continue adding cities using a blanket-coverage approach. This aims to make 5G accessible across wider areas rather than at selected points. The network development is intended to support education areas, trading centres, residential neighbourhoods, transport and tourism destinations.
