Yulis Widyo Marfiah, Acting Director of Telecommunications and Information Services at the BAKTI Business Entity, stated on Friday that BTS construction in unforeseeable areas posed challenges to be completed.
She mentioned the security and geographic conditions in eastern Indonesia, particularly Papua, as the main challenges in completing this infrastructure work.
Unforeseeable areas often have inhospitable geographical conditions that make them inaccessible, coupled with a low level of security, thereby posing hurdles for infrastructure provider partners to conduct development.
Marfiah said that BAKTI has collaborated with other stakeholders, such as the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) and the National Police (Polri), to ensure the security and smooth development of BTS in these areas.
However, military support for security is limited due to their priorities, she added.
