With an investment value of some US200 million, the Telkom-3 satellite will give us an additional capacity
of 42 active transponders, which is equivalent to 49 transponders with BW 36 MHz.
The Telkom-3 Satellite is scheduled to be launched in the second quarter of 2012 and will consist of 24
Standard C-band transponders, 8 Extended C-Band transponders and 10 Ku Band transponders. The
geographical coverage of the Telkom-3 Satellite will extend to Indonesia and ASEAN Standard C-Band,
Indonesia and Malaysia Ext. C-Band and Indonesia Ku-Band. Of the Telkom-3 Satellite’s 42 transponders,
40-45, or around 20 transponders, will be for commercial use, with the remainder used to boost
capacity for Telkom services.
cellular network
Our cellular services, which are operated by our subsidiary, Telkomsel, have the most extensive network coverage of
any cellular operator in Indonesia. It currently operates on the GSMDCS, GPRS, EDGE and 3.5G networks. The GSM
DCS network consists of 7.5 MHz of bandwidth on the 900 MHz frequency and 22.5 MHz of bandwidth on the
1,800 MHz frequency. Both networks operate as a single integrated dual band network. Telkomsel’s 3G network
uses 10 MHz of bandwidth on the 2.1 GHz frequency. As of December 31, 2011, Telkomsel’s digital network was
supported by 42,623 BTS with an overall network capacity capable of facilitating the communication needs of 107.0
million customers.
data and Internet network
We began operating data network services in 1997 and since then have progressively developed and expanded
our network. As of December 31, 2011, our IP-based network covered 2,856 locations with 2,977 router nodes
nationwide. We are committed to making continuous improvements in the speed and quality of the IP-based
network. This network functions as the transport network for our high quality VPN, VoIP, dial-up and broadband
internet services. We now have remote access servers in 117 locations with 167 nodes nationwide which are used
for our “Telkom Net Instan” dial-up internet service and corporate dial-up internet services.
We have been providing ixed line-based broadband internet access using ADSL technology since 2004
under the brand name “Speedy”. As of December 31, 2011, we had 1.8 million Speedy customers, representing
growth of 8.5 from 1.6 million Speedy customers as of December 31, 2010. Since May 2008, Speedy had a
speed of up to 3 Mbps. Telkomsel also provides a mobile broadband product
under the brand name “Flash”. As of December 31, 2011, Telkomsel had 5.5 million Flash customers, representing
growth of 45.7 from the 3.8 million customers as of December 31, 2010.
International networks
To route outgoing and incoming calls on our IDD service, “IDD-007”, we operate international gateways in Batam,
Jakarta and Surabaya, which have reliable links to domestic networks. We have no plans to develop any further
gateways at present. We have been improving our international network
infrastructure primarily to meet capacity demands, improve reliability and eiciency and in support of our
NGN-based infrastructure transformation. As part of the development of service nodes, we will use softswitches to
support international services. Our international network is supported by a submarine
communications cable system “SCCS”, the Dumai- Malaka cable system “DMCS”, and the Thailand-
Indonesia-Singapore “TIS” system, as well as an indefeasible right of use, microwave-based border radio
and satellite. To consolidate our international network and expand broadband services with a 40Gbps bandwidth
capacity, Telin entered into the AAG cable consortium in April 2007 with an initial investment of US48 million for
the development of the Batam-Singapore cable system “BSCS” to connect Batam with Singapore. In 2012, the
AAG’s capacity will be upgraded to 120 Gbps for the main Singapore-Hongkong-US route. Our long-term
plans include enhancing international access to eastern Indonesia as well as diversifying services and capturing
business opportunities in South Asia, the Middle East and Europe.
In addition to infrastructure expansion, we have entered into international telecommunications service agreements
with a number of overseas operators to facilitate international call interconnections. Moreover, since we do
not have agreements with telecommunications operators in all our IDD destinations, we have signed agreements
with SingTel, Telekom Malaysia, Verizon, Belgacom, NTT, TIS, France Telecom and other operators under which
they act as hubs and route international calls to certain destinations. As of December 31, 2011, we had entered into
international telecommunications service agreements with 65 international operators in 26 countries, compared to
33 international operators in 20 countries as of December 31, 2010. We plan to enter into further international
telecommunications service agreements with other operators for direct interconnections, targeting operators
in the top 20 destinations for our outgoing IDD traic.

In 2011, we strengthened our NGN infrastructure in line with the INSYNC2014 Master Plan to create a Next Generation National Backbone Network to support our “Broadband for Digital Home”, “Broadband for Enterprise” and “Broadband
Anywhere” services. Key developments in our ixed line network development during 2011 were as follows:
Project Description
Java-Sumatra-Kalimantan Jasuka Project
We continued to expand the capacity of our Jasuka submarine infrastructure backbone to support domestic and international internet. This project also expanded Telkomsel’s capacity.
During 2011, 15 lambda 150Gb of additional capacity was installed for Ring 3, 4 lambda 40Gb for Ring 1A, and 2 lambda 20Gb for Ring 2.
Mataram-Kupang Palapa Ring Project
The procurement and installation contract for the Palapa Ring Mataram-Kupang submarine cable system was signed on November 24, 2009. We completed the development of the
submarine transport backbone from Mataram to Kupang in November 2011, providing an initial capacity of 40Gb. This will provide a network link between Mataram and Kupang,
connecting the islands of Lombok, Sumbawa, Sumba, Flores and Timor. The project has continued to develop a terrestrial cable transport backbone from Kupang to Atambua, which
is scheduled for completion in May 2012.
Development and Modernization of Broadband
Access through the Trade In Trade Of “TITO” Model
In order to develop high capacity broadband access, in 2011 we initiated the Development and Modernization of Broadband Access Program through the TITO Trade In Trade Of
model. The TITO program replaces our existing copper cables with iber optic cables and modern technologies such as MSAN, GPON, and FTTx. We are collaborating with PT INTI and
PT Len on this program. To date, we have successfully migrated, through the TITO program, 64,352 phone connections of existing customers out of a total installed capacity of 386,598
phone lines, and the remainder will be completed in March 2012. In 2012 we will continue the TITO program by installing 41 exchanges with PT INTI and 25 exchanges with a second
partner, with a total capacity of 2.27 million phone connections.
Broadband Access Expansion through the MSAN Platform
We expanded our MSAN broadband network platform to a total of 313,893 ixed line connections in 2009 and 299,936 connection in 2010. We now have three MSAN platforms
providing nationwide coverage. In 2011, the MSAN broadband platform project completed a total of 496,664 SST.
Gigabyte-Passive Optical Network “GPON”
Development Project In 2011, we expanded our GPON to a total of 40,735 Optical Network Terminals “ONT”, some
of which supported node B and Fiber To The Home “FTTH” deployment. In 2012, we plan to continue the expansion of our broadband access infrastructure, prioritizing the utilization of
GPON technology to expand the implementation of the FTTH network. IMS IP Multimedia
Subsystem Development IMS development is part of our infrastructure transformation, aimed at modernizing our
service nodes by providing IP capability, convergence and enabling new application-based services, which will eventually integrate new customers and migration customers. In 2011, we
developed infrastructure on a lab scale as a demonstration as well as a service innovation. In 2012 we plan to commercialize this system which will be done on August.
Tarakan Sangata Cable System “TSCS” Project,
Sumatra Bangka Cable System “SBCS”
In 2011, to add capacity and establish a high-reliability transport backbone, we began the installation of submarine transport backbone in Sumatra-Bangka and Tarakan-Sangata. The
TSCS and SBCS projects are currently in the development phase, which will be completed at the end of 2012.
