ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, United States (Reuter): Motorola Inc said Thursday that its International Cellular Infrastructure Division won a $30 million contract to supply a digital cellular network system for PT Telkomsel in Indonesia.

It is Motorola's first Global System for Mobile (GSM) communications contract in Indonesia.

Initially, the system will have the capacity to serve up to 50,000 cellular subscribers in the capital city of Jakarta and 10,000 customers in Bandung and Cirebon.

The multi-phase deployment of the digital cellular network already is under way in Bandung and Cirebon, where commercial service started in August 1995.

PT. Telkomsel currently operates cellular networks in 12 provinces.
