Telkom Indonesia’s wholesale fibre spinoff InfraNexia revealed on Monday it has expanded its collaboration with telco XLSmart, who will use the company’s fibre network to boost connectivity in several of Indonesia's strategic corridors.

Under the agreement, XLSmart will use InfraNexia’s “Wavenexia” wholesale service to strengthen connectivity and increase network capacity in corridors in Kalimantan, Nusa Tenggara, Sulawesi, and Sumatra.

XLSmart will also utilise InfraNexia’s Metronexia services to support connectivity between locations in several of its operational areas.

The agreement also enables InfraNexia and XLSmart to jointly use passive infrastructure, including poles and ducts, to support further network development. InfraNexia’s commercial director Syaiful Rahim Soenaria said this aspect of the deal will ideally boost asset productivity, encourage more efficient investment, and accelerate the expansion and development of networks in various parts of Indonesia.

"We see the need for network capacity continues to grow, along with the increase in traffic and digital service needs. Through collaboration with XLSmart, InfraNexia strives to provide a reliable, scalable, and adaptive infrastructure for network needs in various strategic areas,” he said in a statement.

Andrijanto Muljono, director of enterprise strategic relationship at XLSmart, added that its collaboration with InfraNexia “is one of our steps in strengthening the network foundation as well as maintaining the flexibility of capacity development in a number of strategic areas.”

The collaboration deal was signed at Telkom Indonesia’s Bali Annual Telkom International Conference (BATIC) 2026 event two weeks ago. At the same event, InfraNexia signed a similar deal with Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison’s ICT arm Lintasarta to boost DWDM services on routes connecting the Sumatra region with Batam.

Telkom Indonesia completed its spinoff of InfraNexia as a wholly owned wholesale fibre subsidiary last month.
