Everyone and everything has to be connected – that's our main focus.
We’re a market-leading IT-centric telecom company, delivering wireless data services through digital platforms throughout Indonesia and the Philippines. Our flexible and efficient model offers an exceptional customer experience at a competitive price, for both private and professional users.
Providing wireless data services to the fastest-growing markets in the industry is at the heart of our business. We focus our attentions on the digital, and have created a fully integrated back end to facilitate distribution with our strategic partners.
We use data to drive our business, ensuring we approach the right customers at the right time by geo-tracking through social media and basing our sales process on a pre-paid, cash-on-delivery system.
We aim to deliver mobile data at the lowest possible cost, while simultaneously creating future-proof networks with room for growth. We do this by building 4G LTE networks and acquiring low band spectrum, which are able to deliver 4G LTE over vast distances, and therefore create the perfect platform for large countries with diffused populations.
With our proven experience in swift turnaround and building lean, customer-centric networks around the world, we’re perfectly placed to expand beyond Indonesia and the Philippines, and to reach new markets.
