The 5G network in Indonesia has begun to be developed by several provider companies, one of which is Telkomsel .
Telkomsel also had access to a 5G network in the Mandalika Circuit area when the MotoGP event was held in Indonesia, in March 2022.
And to directly test the 5G network capabilities offered by Telkomsel, Jzeey has conducted a direct search.
Three Jeje and teams visited the Telkomsel Indonesia office, which is located in the South Jakarta area, last Thursday (26/5).
We are testing the 5G network at the Telkomsel office with the aim of getting maximum capabilities on 5G cellphones.
But what is the quality and speed of Telkomsel's 5G network that Jzeey managed to get?Find answers about the 5G network at the Telkomsel office below.
Use the OpenSignal Application
Before sharing information about the 5G network office Telkomsel , please note that this time Jzeey uses the OpenSignal application.
This application is commonly used to measure signal speed on smartphones.
In addition, the OpenSignal application can also display a number of details needed to test the performance of a network.
5G Network Trial at the Telkomsel Office
For the 5G network trial process at the Telkomsel office, Jzeey is in the TLT lobby, where the location is an area that can be entered by general visitors.
The TLT lobby is also a suitable recommendation to see the quality of Telkomsel's 5G .
While in the area, the two 5G phones that Jzeey used to test the 5G network still didn't catch a 5G signal.
But we still try to see the network speed through the OpenSignal application.
This is still being done because the signal logo on the smartphone tab usually experiences a slight delay in changing its appearance.
In the first 5G cellphone, an interesting thing appeared, where the OpenSignal application only captured the 3G network on the smartphone that Jzeey was using.
And as a result, the download speed only recorded 14.3 Mbps.
Then the upload speed only managed to reach 4.21 Mbps.
Interestingly, what happened to the first 5G cellphone, was not experienced by the second 5G cellphone that Jzeey used.
trial the 5G network through the OpenSignal application still does not display a 5G signal.
's 4G network Telkomsel
But for the results, it can be seen that the download speed that can be done by the smartphone reaches 128 Mbps.
Then the upload speed and latency are also better, which recorded 24.4 Mbps and 22 ms, respectively.
That way, it can be said that the performance has entered the 5G network speed range.
It's just that the signal display detected by the OpenSignal application is still classified as a 4G network.
Jzeey's trials also continued to download game applications on the Google Play Store with a capacity of 580 MB.
And the results are quite interesting and make you gawk, because you can download the game in only about 1 minute.
Results from internal Telkomsel
On a different day, Jzeey also received information from Telkomsel's internal sources.
Through a short WhatsApp message, a photo was shared showing the speed performance of the 5G network at the Telkomsel office.
The screenshot shows that the download performance of Telkomsel's 5G network reaches 170 Mbps with an upload performance of 104 Mbps.
Conclusion of the 5G Network Trial at the Telkomsel Office
trial activities the 5G network office Telkomsel that Jzeey did, there are several things that need to be noted, namely:
1. Make sure first that the 5G cellphone that you are using can be directly connected to the 5G network in Indonesia without needing to be reset.
2. The 5G logo that appears on the top right of the smartphone may have no effect, because Jzeey's experience records speed results like a 5G network, with 4G signal information in the OpenSignal application.
3. The coverage of the 5G network is still quite small, so it is necessary to determine a really strategic location when you want to test it.
4. The difference in days can be a factor in the speed of the 5G network.
So what do you think about the 5G network trial at the Telkomsel office that we have done?
Wait for the results of other 5G network trials that Jzeey is doing in various regions in the next article.
