Heaptalk, Jakarta — South Tangerang Municipal reportedly expands free internet access program to 58 points across the city, particularly in Society Learning Activity Center (PKBM), to embody its Smart City plan.
“Thus, for PKBM members, if you want this access to be installed in your PKBM Center, you can propose it by attaching the detailed address and the PKBM’s name. The first process is submission. We do not install it directly as we will first consider the urgency of installing it,” stated South Tangerang’s Head of Communication and Informatics Department (Diskominfo) Tb. Asep Nurdin.
Asep added that the speed of this internet program can hit 20/Mbps and can even be scaled up to 50/Mbps. With this facility, the Government expects to support PKBM activities to level up.
Asep Nurdin also guaranteed that the program is safe thus the society does not need to provide their personal information and identity numbers.
To date, South Tangerang’s Diskominfo is recorded to have installed free internet in 1,063 points in public areas, including playgrounds, reading gardens, city parks, church and mosque, community hall, sports facilities, health service post (Posyandu), and other public areas.
Regarding the furture plan, Asep Nurdin voiced, “For the next year (2025) our target is to install free public wifi in 2,500 points.”.
