Strategic Collaboration Between Linknet Fiber and Nexa: Realizing Equitable Internet Access Through Build-to-Suit Infrastructure

Internet Equity: The Key to Indonesia’s Digital Transformation

In today’s digital economy, the internet is no longer just a convenience—it is a core infrastructure that defines regional competitiveness, education quality, industrial growth, and the smooth delivery of public services. However, achieving equitable internet access across Indonesia’s urban and rural regions remains a major challenge.
This is why collaborative efforts between digital infrastructure providers and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are so critical. Linknet Fiber’s build-to-suit model offers a flexible solution, where infrastructure is tailored to the specific needs of ISP partners and targeted locations. This approach accelerates network deployment without compromising performance or reliability.
On July 23, 2025, Linknet Fiber and ISP Nexa (PT Internet Mulia untuk Negeri) officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and held a Kick-Off Meeting in Semarang. The collaboration adopts the build-to-suit concept, designed to address connectivity needs in areas that have yet to receive quality internet access.

Linknet Fiber and ISP Nexa: Combining Strengths for the Nation

Linknet Fiber is a leading fiber optic infrastructure provider in Indonesia and part of PT Link Net Tbk. With extensive experience and cutting-edge technology, Linknet Fiber has become a trusted strategic partner for ISPs nationwide.
Nexa, operating under PT Internet Mulia untuk Negeri, is recognized for its focus on equitable digital access, especially in areas traditionally underserved by high-quality networks. Nexa is committed to delivering fast internet with broad coverage.
The combination of Linknet Fiber’s infrastructure capabilities and Nexa’s service network creates a powerful synergy for building equitable connectivity across Indonesia. This collaboration is not just about expanding coverage, but also about ensuring service quality at every connection point. With high-speed fiber optic technology, even remote communities can enjoy internet experiences on par with major cities—empowering small businesses, schools, and public services with seamless online access.
For Nexa, this partnership strengthens their market position. For Linknet Fiber, it is a tangible demonstration of their commitment to limitless connectivity. Together, they share a common vision: building a connected Indonesia from Sabang to Merauke.

Kick-Off Meeting and MoU: More Than Just a Ceremony

The event in Semarang was more than a ceremonial signing of the MoU—it was a crucial moment to align on strategic actions for the near future. Both parties discussed implementation plans for the build-to-suit infrastructure model, where networks are built to meet the specific needs of the partner and target regions. This ensures each connectivity project has the right design, capacity, and location.
With this model, infrastructure development is not only faster but also more relevant to the needs of local communities and ISP business targets. It offers ISPs high flexibility to adjust network capacity as user demand grows. Build-to-suit also maximizes investment efficiency, ensuring every network point constructed has strong utilization potential.
Through this collaboration, Linknet Fiber and Nexa combine technological excellence and a vision for equitable internet access to strengthen digital transformation nationwide—benefiting not only business, but also education, public services, and local economic empowerment.

Understanding Build-to-Suit Infrastructure

In fiber optic services, build-to-suit is a method where the infrastructure provider designs, constructs, and operates the network according to agreed specifications with the ISP partner. This ensures that every network element—from cable routes to bandwidth capacity—is tailored to actual field requirements. This approach is highly relevant for ISPs seeking to deliver high-speed internet while optimizing resource use.

Key advantages of the build-to-suit model include:

1. Full customization
   Infrastructure is designed with local geography and demographics in mind. In densely populated areas, network capacity is scaled to handle high data traffic; in rural areas, the focus is on wide coverage. Environmental factors—such as soil conditions, potential natural disruptions, and building density—are also considered. This ensures stable connectivity under varying conditions, with designs adaptable for future technologies.
2. Cost efficiency
   ISP partners are not required to make full upfront investments. Development is based on actual needs, allowing budgets to be allocated gradually and reducing investment risks. This prevents wasted spending on underutilized infrastructure and frees ISPs to invest in marketing, customer service, and other priorities.
3. Faster implementation
   With designs and specifications set from the start, construction proceeds in a focused and efficient manner—avoiding major mid-project revisions. Fieldwork can also be organized in parallel, accelerating project completion. This speed gives ISPs a competitive advantage in capturing new markets ahead of rivals.
4. High scalability
   Networks can be expanded as user numbers grow or service areas widen, with minimal disruption to existing infrastructure. ISPs can easily increase bandwidth capacity or extend coverage based on demand trends, keeping investments relevant over the long term.
   For ISP partners like Nexa, build-to-suit offers significant flexibility to expand reach without sacrificing quality—making it a strategic solution for increasing market penetration across business districts and residential areas alike.

Tangible Impact on the Digital Ecosystem

The Linknet Fiber–Nexa strategic partnership is more than an infrastructure project—it is a catalyst for digital ecosystem growth across Indonesia. Its positive impacts include:

1. Equitable Internet Access
   Areas previously underserved—or entirely lacking fast internet—can now enjoy connectivity equal to major cities. With Linknet Fiber’s technology, communities gain access to streaming, online communication, and cloud-based applications without barriers, reducing the urban-rural digital divide.
2. Support for Local Businesses
   MSMEs can leverage e-commerce, digital marketing, and online platforms to expand their markets. Stable, high-speed internet enables faster transactions, smoother customer interactions, and adoption of data-driven business models.
3. Advancement in Education and Public Services
   Schools and universities can access digital resources, implement online learning, and collaborate virtually. Healthcare facilities benefit from digital records, telemedicine, and real-time medical data transfers.
4. Regional Digital Economic Growth
   Reliable internet infrastructure attracts investment from technology companies, logistics hubs, and digital service providers—boosting local income, creating jobs, and accelerating digital transformation.

#KonektivitasuntukNegeri (Connectivity for the Nation) : A Shared Commitment

Both Linknet Fiber and Nexa share the same vision: building an inclusive, equitable digital ecosystem across Indonesia. They understand that connectivity is not just about providing fast internet—it’s about creating new opportunities for communities, businesses, and educational institutions.
Through the build-to-suit approach, each network is designed to match the geographic, demographic, and economic potential of its location—whether in dense urban centers, growing rural towns, or remote regions historically beyond digital reach.
This synergy supports the national mission of accelerating digital transformation. Fiber optic infrastructure does more than connect people to the internet—it strengthens vital sectors like education, healthcare, governance, and the local economy.
With this joint commitment, #KonektivitasuntukNegeri (Connectivity for the Nation) is not just a slogan, but a real movement to deliver fast, stable internet accessible to all Indonesians—from Sabang to Merauke.

Development Direction: From Cities to Villages, from West to East

Following the MoU signing, the main focus is expanding coverage in high-growth potential areas that currently lack digital infrastructure. Priority targets include emerging industrial zones, urban peripheries, and eastern Indonesia.
With the latest technology, Linknet Fiber and Nexa aim to build networks strong enough for today’s needs and ready for future demand surges. This includes integrating fiber optic networks with new business centers and residential developments to accelerate local economic growth, as well as extending digital services into areas previously difficult to reach.
