“The 5G network is the latest technology that can change the way we live our lives. The application of 5G is still growing in Indonesia, and we are grateful that Soekarno-Hatta Airport is one of the locations that can quickly provide Telkomsel 5G access for travelers to experience this latest wireless technology standard," explained Muhammad Awaluddin.
