Currently Mitratel has more than 22,000 telecommunications towers spread throughout Indonesia. “In the future, Mitratel will transform from a tower business to a digital infrastructure company with one of the business strategy priorities being to remain aggressive in spurring company growth and adapting to technological developments towards the 5G era,” said Teddy Hartoko.
