XL Axiata, Indonesia's telecommunication service provider, has announced its fibre expansion by rolling out Fiber To The Room (FTTR) technology through its popular XL SATU Fiber service.
The introduction of FTTR aims to tackle speed degradation issues caused by Wi-Fi networks, particularly in areas with barriers like house walls and partitions that negatively impact the overall customer experience, according to the official release.

XL SATU Fiber, Now in 63 Cities
The company says with the launch of FTTR, XL SATU Fiber has taken another leap forward. As part of the expansion efforts, XL SATU Fiber is now available in 63 cities and regencies, with Batam City being the latest area to benefit from this seamless internet experience.
The Advantages of FTTR Technology
XL Axiata announced that FTTR is a collaborative innovation with Huawei, utilising fibre optic cabling as a network medium, and is deployed in every room of a house or building. This smart solution overcomes the limitations of mesh Wi-Fi devices, ensuring a stable and consistent internet speed across all corners of the property.
The company says the FTTR system caters to various needs, from online video streaming and gaming to telecommuting services, providing an unbeatable smart home ecosystem experience.
