Plover Bay and Telkomsel Join Forces to Bring Unbreakable 4G and 5G SD-WAN in Indonesia

Hong Kong, 7 Dec 2021 – Plover Bay Technologies Limited (Plover Bay, or the “Group”)(stock code: 1523), a company that makes connectivity reliable, has joined together with Telkomsel, a subsidiary of state-owned enterprise Telkom Indonesia, to help businesses in Indonesia transform into cloud-ready, fully online organizations.

Telkomsel is the leading digital telco company in Indonesia that serves more than 169 million customers across Indonesia. Its IoT services unit, Telkomsel IoT, collaborates with Plover Bay to power its managed services and solutions. Plover Bay’s extensive product portfolio of wired and wireless SD-WAN routers support Telkomsel to provide reliable enterprise-grade connectivity to businesses anywhere, even at locations with poor coverage.

Telkomsel has used Plover Bay as part of their Telkomsel IoT Managed SD-WAN solutions in more than 2000 sites for regional subsidiaries of nationwide banking, such as Bank BJB Syariah and Bank Iampung, and also retail enterprises. These deployments have greatly improved network uptime and the operating efficiency for these customers, despite the challenging locations in some of those branches.

These are only the tip of the iceberg. With the valuable case reference gained from the above projects, Telkomsel is looking to deploy Plover Bay into its expanding portfolio of managed-IoT services with customers in energy, mining, and manufacturing markets.

With Plover Bay’s full line-up of enterprise, 4G and 5G routers and software that can provide reliable connectivity in any challenging deployment conditions, Telkomsel will have more advanced solutions providing cost-effective, reliable connectivity solutions to customers in these fields. Telkomsel will also have access to Plover Bay’s comprehensive enterprise 5G product portfolio in order to be the first mover with 5G managed SD-WAN.

Plover Bay’s SD-WAN routers and connectivity technologies are built to ensure network speed and reliability on any wired or mobile networks. Using Plover Bay’s SpeedFusion technology which fuses multiple WAN networks together, customers’ are protected from sudden network interruptions or latency spikes during critical tasks, such as important video calls or point-of-sale transactions. All Plover Bay routers can be remotely managed from one single screen via the cloud, greatly reducing the overhead of managing multiple network branches.
