The Director of Telkomsel Network, Nugroho, explained that the G20 is held in 15 cities across Indonesia. In these cities including Bali, there are 32 thousand BTS 4G and 5G. With a total of 190 BTS for 5G, approximately 7,800 BTS especially for Bali with 39 5G BTS. In total, BTS throughout Bali reached 7,801 units.
