"Through collaboration with PLN Icon Plus, Alita wants to bring broadband connections to the home. Every 10% increase in internet penetration will increase GDP by 1%, and the internet will improve everyone's welfare." Teguh added, "This collaboration between Alita and PLN Icon Plus has greater advantages in implementing the latest and best technology. Our technology is short- and long-term, one of which is with Nokia."
Alita's collaboration with PLN Icon Plus through today's MoU aims to meet the need for a minimum broadband speed of 100 Mbps in every home at an affordable price and meet customer needs.
"As a digital service provider company, Alita provides networks, platforms, technology, data centers, and solutions to help PLN Icon Plus meet the needs of Indonesia's digital community." Teguh added, "We believe it will connect every home not only to electricity but also to internet access and can realize the transformation of the house as the center of digital life for Indonesia's progress.
President Director of PT Indonesia Comnets Plus, Ari Rahmat Indra Cahyadi, assesses this collaboration as a strategic step for PLN Icon Plus in providing telecommunications services to the public and supporting the achievement of the growth target of up to 1.5 million broadband internet subscribers (ICONNET) in 2024.
"We hope that this collaboration will increase and expand the penetration of PLN Icon Plus infrastructure, especially to provide technology access to all corners of the archipelago so that people can feel the direct benefits of internet connections and PLN Icon Plus services as well as provide accelerated benefits from the digital economy. "This is also in line with PLN Icon Plus' steps to continue to support government programs in equalizing digital literacy," he said.

Alita offers comprehensive services from planning, warehousing, and implementation to after-sales services such as telecommunications infrastructure solutions, intelligent solutions, and digital reality.
