XLSmart Sets Rp20 Trillion 2026 Capex and 5G Target of 88-101 Cities on Single MOCN Network
The operator confirmed that XL, Smartfren and AXIS customers are served over one multi-operator core network, while raising its 2026 capital expenditure to Rp20 trillion and its year-end 5G coverage target to 88-101 cities.
XLSmart confirmed several infrastructure and commercial targets for its post-merger network at a media event in Jakarta on 4 November 2026. The operator said its multi-operator core network (MOCN) technology serves the XL, Smartfren, and AXIS brands over a single infrastructure, delivering equivalent 5G quality across the three brands.
The company set a 5G coverage target of 88 to 101 cities by the end of 2026, up from more than 70 cities in October, with 2026 capital expenditure at Rp20 trillion, up from Rp15 trillion the previous year. It also reported a 58 percent increase in its spectrum portfolio to 217 MHz after the recent auction and approximately 265,000 base stations, with around half of new sites built outside Java over the past year. These figures are executive statements made at a commercial event.
To accelerate device adoption, the operator launched a bundle pairing the Nubia A77 5G handset with a two-year unlimited 5G package priced at Rp3.5 million.
