Under construction 4G BTS tower in the 3T region of the Bintang Mountains , BAKTI Kominfo holding hands PT Infrastructure Consortium Prosperous Business (IBS) - ZTE Indonesia.

IBS - ZTE Consortium is the winner of the tender for the work of Package 4 and Package 5 procurement 4G BTS towers in Papua, where the Bintang Mountains region enters in package that .

Head of Supply Chain Management IBS Meita Dwivernia say that his side Keep going speeding processing development 4G BTS towers in Papua, including in the Bintang Mountains .

From 1,811 locations development targeted 4G BTS tower to IBS at stage first , about 700 locations of them already on the air or "on air".

Meita confess that the process of distributing materials for build 4G BTS towers in the 3T Papua region are not very good easy . For one location , side should send about 90 kinds component , consist from material for tower, power, visat , and BTS with weight up to 10 tons.

In the 3T region which is not can accessed use track land , such as in the Star Mountains , IBS must use aircraft types of caravans, pilatus , to helicopter for transport these materials .

The delivery process is also not forever seamless . If condition weather bad , then the material distribution process through track air should postponed for temporary time .

" The problem is the weather . If the weather bad , delivery no can done ," he said.

Condition security not yet fully conducive join affect the process of material distribution and construction 4G BTS towers in the 3T Papua region.

IBS must smart read situation in the field . Coordination with government area and parties continue to be related done for ensure safety of workers during the process of material delivery and workmanship development .

"At the time certain we should pull stretch first , cooling down because the process dynamic , security enough dynamic . We understand what to do supported with all The challenge is in Papua," said IBS Government Public Relations and Transportation Benyamin Sembiring .

Challenge other existence denial from people who haven't know benefit from development infrastructure telecommunication that . Benjamin said his side should by persuasive explain to public importance development BTS tower 4G.
