By continuously expanding its coverage, Telkomsel in Indonesia increases subscriber numbers and ensures its market position. However, the remote diesel powered sites traditionally required in remote areas take a lot of maintenance which substantially increase OPEX. Instead, Ericsson offered a 100 percent solar-driven site which was easy to install and kept maintenance costs to a minimum.
