Swedish telecom gear maker Ericsson said that it has signed a three-year contract with Indonesian telco XL Axiata for design and implementation of 4G/LTE network and upgrade of existing 2G and 3G networks in Jakarta and Central Java.

The agreement includes all hardware, software and services to deliver 4G/LTE services for XL Axiata’s subscribers.

“We are keen to work with Ericsson to bring this next generation technology to Indonesia. We are looking forward to the implementation of the 4G/LTE network and the improved mobile broadband experience this will deliver for our subscribers,” Dian Siswarini, President Director and CEO of XL Axiata, said in a statement.

This 4G/LTE network deployment will improve network capacity and enhance speeds to allow Indonesian users to enjoy improved smartphone and network performance, as well as faster web browsing and downloads.

“Ericsson’s LTE solution will enable XL Axiata to deliver unique experiences for people, society and businesses, thus shaping and accelerating the Networked Society in Indonesia,” Thomas Jul, Head of Ericsson Indonesia and Timor Leste, said.

Ericsson is today present in all high traffic LTE markets including the US, Japan, and South Korea, and is ranked first for handling the most global LTE traffic – 40 percent of the world’s mobile traffic is carried over Ericsson networks.

Ericsson is number one in LTE market share within the world’s top 100 cities. More than 220 LTE RAN and evolved Packet Core networks have been delivered worldwide, of which 170 are live commercially.
