Jakarta, 15 March  2022 – The premier class MotoGP motorcycle racing events are just a few days away. PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (Telkom) intensively conducted a review on the service and network infrastructure quality at the Mandalika Circuit. To ensure the services and networks reliability, Telkom conducted simulation tests at the STO Hall in Mataram, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara last week. These tests kicked off when Telkom Indonesia Commissioner Arya Mahendra Sinulingga visited the site, followed by a simulation test during which Governor of West Nusa Tenggara, Dr. H. Zulkieflimansyah, SE, M.Sc, Telkom Network & IT Solution Director Herlan Wijanarko, Telkom Enterprise and Business Service Director Edi Witjara and Director I TDC Utilitas Hari Wibisono were in attendance. Apart from testing the network, Telkom also conducted rehearsals on all TelkomGroup services available at the event.

Telkom also tested the access networks or last-mile specifically in the pit stop building, installed there as a service facility for all racing teams and official MotoGP teams.

Governor of West Nusa Tenggara Dr. H. Zulkieflimansyah, SE, M.Sc said he appreciated that the rehearsal tests and simulations went well without any significant problems.

In terms of infrastructure, Telkom Network & IT Solution Director Herlan Wijanarko said that his team has learned a lot of lessons from the World Superbike (WSBK) race some time ago in which Telkom also plays a role to provide telecommunications services. “TelkomGroup has learned many lessons from the recent WSBK race. We have made improvements at several points by increasing the service bandwidth, and we are now ready for MotoGP. We guarantee that connectivity and ICT services that Telkom provide will perform supremely. Let us not forget to pray for God's blessing on our health and strength to carry out a well-executed performance, and we hope all will run smoothly during the event ," Herlan said.

Telkom Enterprise and Business Service Director Edi Witjara said he hopest what Telkom has done will support more than telecommunications services, but will also support the development in West Nusa Tenggara. “We, TelkomGroup, will give our best support to make this international event a success. We will try to provide various telecommunication facilities in the Mandalika area. Hopefully, the facilities we prepared can perfectly support the success of this MotoGP race. More than that, we hope that our support can play a role in West Nusa Tenggara's progress in the future, "said Edi.

For the MotoGP racing events, TelkomGroup provides 1,908 BTS for Telkomsel services which also cover the 5G network, Astinet services with a capacity of up to 920Mbps and Wi-Fi services through 125 Access Points with a capacity of 6Gbps in six areas including the medical center, pit stop building, paddock, race control, tv compound, and the tribune area for the spectator.

As a monitoring function, TelkomGroup has set up four command posts that work 24/7 in Mataram Regional office and Mandalika to monitor the transport infrastructure and elements of TelkomGroup's ICT services network. In addition, hundreds of personnel are also prepared to secure all production equipment to ensure they are always in good condition. The post is equipped with a Mini Network Operation Center or Mini NOC integrated with the regional to national tiered-Telkom Integrated Operation Center (TIOC) command post. 

In addition to the rehearsal test, TelkomGroup also held a work readiness town hall meeting for all personnel tasked with securing and succeeding in operating the infrastructure deployed at the MotoGP event at the Mandalika Circuit. Telkom's participation in supporting the successful implementation of this world-class event is a form of commitment to always play a role in the development of super priority tourist destinations in Indonesia. Telkom hopes that through reliable ICT services, it can provide the convenience of communicating and the best experience for domestic and international tourists, so that tourists will not lose valuable moments to share and invite more visitors, which will lead to boosting development in the Mandalika tourist area.
