Infrastructure development
PT Krone Indonesia started producing components and systems for the development of telecommunications infrastructure in Indonesia in 1993 at its factory in Kota Bukit Indah, Purwakarta, West Java. The products are based on Krone's world famous quick connection technology LSA-Plus for copper wires. Krone blocks MDF 71, Linking Strip 52, LSA-Plus Connection and Disconnection Blocks, Cross Connection Cabinets, Distribution Points (DP's), Overvoltage and Overcurrent Protection Systems have been widely used all over Indonesia by PT Telkom and its five joint operations.
PT Krone Indonesia's President Director Wolfgang Widemann said that since then, pigtails, patchcords, preassembled modules and distribution systems based on fiber-optic technology have been added to the scope of products made by the company. Recently, Krone introduced its Telecell Wireless Local Loop (WLL) system for the provision of low-cost fixed wireless telephone, fax and Internet connections in suburban and rural areas in Indonesia.
This system will allow Indonesia to rapidly improve its so far low teledensity, which currently stands at about 2 percent, i.e., on average only two inhabitants out of 100 are subscribers to a fixed telephone line.
PT Krone Indonesia is a joint-venture company of Krone AG of Germany and the Indonesian Tempo Group, and it has contributed significantly to the development of the Outside Plant Telecommunications Network of PT Telkom and the joint operation by providing the linkage between switches and from switches to cross connects, MDF's, DP's and individual subscribers.
Although Krone structural cabling products have been used in numerous Indonesian building complexes and multisite computer network installations by banks, stockbroking firms, large manufacturing groups, the oil and gas industry, hotels, etc., cabling systems from cables to cross-connect to outlets which support the most demanding Broadhand applications in excess of the existing design standards (TIA/EIA 568-A, ISO/IEC 11801:1995 and EN 50173:1995) with the specifications are being discussed but have not yet become published agreed standards.
