Flood does not affect service (2/01)

Despite the power supply cut off to 20 BTS and 2 BTS inundated in Bojonegoro, Telkomsel service is not affected in the flood areas. Telkomsel keeps on re-routing the transmission and re-homing the data base to the nearest BSC. Central Java has 1,830 BTS and East Java 1,745 BTS. Telkomsel director for planning and development, Syarif Syarial Ahmad, said the company has mobilized mobile BTS in anticipation of flood in Central and East Java. The company also replaces the power supply with battery, mobilizes generator genset, makes radio link or transmission infrastructure re-routing, use back up system and dries the flooded areas.
